Answer:

Hello your question is incomplete attached below is the complete question

answer : = 1.25

Explanation:

i) Determine the rate of mtDNA percent divergence

From the data given the most closely related specie is Chimpanzee ( 8.8 sequence  difference )

Note : Given that this divergence took place seven million years from now

∴The rate of mtDNA percent  divergence per 1 millions years

= 8.8 / 7 = 1.25

The nervous system and the muscle system respond to stimuli to produce motion. The movements of
Tatiana [17]

The nervous system and the muscle system respond to stimuli to produce motion. The skeletal movements of muscles are mostly voluntary.

Involuntary movements occur in these muscles when the nerve impulse passes from a sensory neuron to a motor neuron via an interneuron in the spinal cord.

<h3>What are Skeletal muscles?</h3>

Skeletal muscles may be defined as the muscles that fasten to your bones and authorize you to achieve a broad range of activities and operations.

Skeletal muscles control the direct movement of a person's will and are hence referred to as voluntary movement.

While the spinal cord is associated with both movements directly or indirectly. It is a prolonged, delicate tubelike network liable for holding incoming and outgoing messages through the brain to the rest body.

Therefore, it is well described above.

Most organisms in the fossil record no longer live on Earth. What does this
forsale [732]

Answer:

Explanation:

The fossil record

This supports Darwin's theory of evolution, which states that simple life forms gradually evolved into more complex ones. Evidence for early forms of life comes from fossils. By studying fossils, scientists can learn how much (or how little) organisms have changed as life developed on Earth.

Name two rocks that would react to hydrochloric acid and why?
Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

Azurite and Magnesite react with hydrochloric acid.

Explanation:

These 2 rocks contain the carbonate mineral calcite dolomite. Carbonate minerals are unstable in contact with hydrochloric acid. When acid begins to effervesce (fizz) on a specimen, a reaction takes place and bubbles of carbon dioxide evolve, thus indicating the presence of minerals like calcite dolomite.

Hope my answer is correct and helpful :)

During aerobic respiration, the energy within the bonds of a glucose molecule is released in small amounts in a step-by-step, en
Rus_ich [418]

Answer: In this process, the energy released in form of ATP (Adenosine triphosphate) is used to POWER BIOCHEMICAL PROCESSES.

Explanation:

Aerobic respiration is the process by which living organisms breaks down glucose molecule to release energy. Oxygen is used for this process that's why the name aerobic.

Aerobic respiration releases energy within the bonds of glucose step by step in an enzyme controlled reaction. The stages of these processes includes:

--> Glycolysis: In this stage, glucose molecules are split to produce two molecules of ATP and two molecules of NADH (another energy carrying molecule).

--> Krebs Cycle: this is the second stage which occurs in the mitochondria of cells. The 2 ATP molecules generated from glycolysis is used to produce two more ATP, 8 more NADH and 2 molecules of FADH. This makes it a total of 16 energy molecules ( including 2 molecules of ATP from glycolysis).

--> Electron transport chain: this is the last stage of aerobic respiration which takes part at the inner member of the mitochondria. Electrons are transported from molecule to molecule down an electron-transport chain. Some of the energy from the electrons ( NADH and FADH from kreb cycle) is used to pump hydrogen ions across the membrane, creating an electrochemical gradient that drives the synthesis of many more molecules of ATP. As a result 32 more ATP are generated.

In conclusion, a total of up to 36 molecules of ATP from just one molecule of glucose in the process of aerobic respiration which are used to power biological processes.
