<span>Punctuated
Equilibrium/ Equilibria proposes that once species appear in the fossil record,
the population will be in the state of
little or absent morphologic change. This is called a state of stasis. The
theory further proposes that the population is confined to infrequent and
geographical rapid events when significant evolutionary change happens. The parent species will the split into two
distinct species. This process if called cladogenesis.</span>
Answer:
a. Mastication process and formation of bolus in the oral cavity
b. The contraction in the stomach breaks the food down into smaller pieces. These pieces are then moved to the small intestine.
c. In the small intestine, food particles are broken down into nutrients, fat, protein and carbohydrates which are absorbed into the bloodstream.
Explanation:
a. First step of digestive system functioning is the mastication process and formation of bolus in the oral cavity.
b. The contraction in stomach, with the help of digestive enzymes and acids, break the food down into smaller pieces. The small pieces of food are then released into the first part of the small intestine (duodenum).
c. In the small intestine, two enzymes released from pancreas and gall bladder break down the food particles into fats, proteins, and carbohydrates. Thereon, nutrients and carbohydrates, proteins and fats are absorbed into the bloodstream.
A facultative anaerobe.
Explanation:
Anaerobes are organisms which can produce energy via the process of fermentation in the absence of oxygen. The anaerobes can be classified as facultative anaerobes and obligate anaerobes.
Facultative anaerobes are those which can carry out respiration in presence of oxygen but can choose to follow the fermentation pathway if oxygen is absent. Fermentation also uses glucose.
Aerobic respiration produces 32 molecules of ATP from one molecules of glucose while fermentation produces only 2 molecules of ATP . Thus when the organism switches to fermentation pathway it utilizes more and more glucose to reach its energy demands.
Considering all the above points we can conclude that observations indicate that the organism is a facultative anaerobe.
Answer:
The correct answer here is D) None of the above
Explanation:
Lactose intolerance and sucrose intolerance in themselves are not practices but side effects of practices that affect health concerns.
For instance, research shows that cultures with a long history of dairy farming and milk drinking or at least a history of drinking milk have a much higher likelihood to be <u>lactose tolerant</u> than those who don't. And when they can tolerate lactose their bodies take note of this and records the same in their genetic databank.
