Hi!

I can do Homologous structures and vestigial structures

Homologous structures are similar bone structures in very different species, like whales and bats. We use this to see how we evolved alongside other animals with the same common ancestor.

Vestigial structures are structures we don't need anymore, like our tailbone. We can use these to tell how our ancestors lived and what they needed to survive.

Hope this helps!

Simone is creating a model to track the movement of carbon atoms in an ecosystem. Which statement best explains the role of plan

Mademuasel [1]

Although I cannot see the model for Simone's experiment, I can offer the insight that the most likely role of plants in the model is that they consume the carbon atoms and produce oxygen.

<h3>How do plants affect the carbon in the atmosphere?</h3>

Plants are known to have a<u> great effect</u> on the carbon levels of the atmosphere.
The correlation is that the more plants are present, the less carbon is free in the air.
The reason for this is that plants use carbon dioxide as a substrate to manage the process of photosynthesis.
As a by-product, after consuming carbon dioxide and completing photosynthesis, plants release oxygen into the atmosphere.

Therefore, we can confirm that the most likely role of plants in the model created by Simone, is that they will consume carbon atoms in the form of carbon dioxide in order to sustain photosynthesis, which releases oxygen.

The _________ is the normal, existing state of affairs, which appears natural or inevitable instead of constructed or evolving.

svp [43]

The correct answer is the status quo.
When translated from Latin, it literally means 'the state in which,' so it refers to the state in which nothing changes, which remains constant all the time, the normal state of affairs. It is a term often used in political or social issues within societies.

What are the items that attach on the inside of the mineral to give the mineral its shape

Tom [10]

Answer:

Molecules.

Explanation:

Molecules are the items that attach on the inside of the mineral to give the mineral its shape. The molecule of a mineral is a crystal three-dimensional regular structure (arrangement) of chemical particles that are bonded together and determines its shape.

Due to the fact that, these molecules are structurally arranged or ordered and are repeated by different symmetrical and translational operations they determine the shape of minerals.

Why does the swing of a pendulum become lower over time? (site 1)

kupik [55]

When the swing is raised and released, it will move freely back and forth due to the force of gravity on it. The swing continues moving back and forth without any extra outside help until friction between the air and the swing and between the chains and the attachment points slows it down and eventually stops it.
