An adaptation is a trait which increases the relative fitness of an individual. The fitness of an individual has 3 components: 1. Probability of survival to reproductive age. 2. Probability of attracting a mate. 3. Average number of offspring. Any trait which increases the fitness of an individual by positively impacting one of these three aspects is considered an adaptation.

There are 2 types of adaptation: physical and behavioral. These are self-explanatory. Physical adaptations could include things like adaptations to morphology or physiology of an organism. Behavioral adaptations are adaptations to, well . . . behavior :)

What is the purpose of the folded inner membrane in mitochondria
Andrei [34K]

Answer:

Increase the membrane surface area which creates more work space

Explanation:

Mitochondrion (Plural-mitochondria) is referred to as the powerhouse the the cell because it is the site of ATP (energy rich compound) synthesis in the cell. Mitochondria are shaped perfectly to maximize their productivity. They are made of two membranes; the outer membrane, which sheds the organnelle and contains it like a skin and the inner membrane, which folds over many times and creates a layered invagination called CRISTAE.

The folding of the inner membrane increases the membrane surface area inside the organnelle. Since many of the chemical reactions e.g. Cellular respiration (ETC and Chemiosmosis) occur in the inner membrane, the increased surface area creates more space for the reactions to occur.

It is just reasonable that the more the space, the more the work that can be done.

<h2><u>AnswEr :</u></h2>

The right answer is "Both insects and amphibians exhibit metamorphosis"

Have six legs :

  • Amphibians are not six legged organisms rather they are four legged

Are both Vertebrates :

  • Insects belong to the Phyla Arothropoda. Arthropods are invertebrates

  • Amphibians belong to the Phyla Chordata. Chordates includes vertebrates

Go through Metamorphosis :

  • Both insects and amphibians are found to exhibit metamorphosis. For instance, Butterfly incase of insects and Frogs incase of Amphibians

Are both Invertebrates :

  • Insects are Invertebrates while Amphibians are Vertebrates

Look like their parents at birth :

  • Insects don't resemble their parents at birth. As they grow into adults,they develop body patterns, structures similar to their parents

  • Amphibians develop indirectly,from larvae. Indirect Development refers to the development where the embryo develops into a sexually - sterile organism after which it undergoes metamorphosis to become an adult.

The changes in the grape juice happened due to the alcoholic fermentation of the grape juice that occurs due to the presence of aerobic bacteria. The presence of yeast is the main reason behind the process of fermentation taking place. The froth is produced due to the presence of the formation of acid and carbon dioxide.
