6 0

Explanation:

Saliva contains special enzymes that help digest the starches in your food. An enzyme called amylase breaks down starches (complex carbohydrates) into sugars, which your body can more easily absorb. Saliva also contains an enzyme called lingual lipase, which breaks down fats.

Adaptation

Adaption is the biological process by nature of fitting an organism to its environment.

The finches on the different islands share the same ancestral population that migrated to the Galapagos Islands. However, due to the different environmental conditions on the different islands, the population adapted variably to enable them survive on their respective islands.

Explanation:

Adaptation occurs by natural selection pressures on a population. The individuals with desired traits are more likely to reach maturity and pass down their genes the next generation (due to competition for resources). Therefore, over generation, there will be more and more individuals with these desired traits and fewer and fewer with undesirable traits. The population, therefore, evolves with time. In the case of the Finches this is called divergent evolution/radiation.

There is a new trend to focus on dopamine receptor sensitivity rather than on dopamine itself because
Alex

Answer:

There is no scientific evidence to prove that people with schizophrenia ingest dopamine capable of accumulating excess in the body.

Explanation:

Although you did not specify that your question is associated with the origin of schizophrenia in people, we can see that this is the main topic of your question, due to its context. This is because scientists have been striving to find the origin of this disease, in order to be able to combat it in the early stages. Although many scientists believe that the origin of this disease is associated with excessive intake of dopamine, there is not strong enough scientific evidence to show that this is true. Because of this lack of evidence, filmmakers have focused on associating the origin of the disease with the sensitivity of the dopamine receptor and not with the dopain itself.

KIM [24]

Triglycerides vary with respect to the number of - C atoms and double bonds in the tails.

Triglycerides are esters derived from glycerol and three fatty acids. These are the main constituents of body fat in humans and other animals, as well as vegetable fat. There are two main types of triglycerides - saturated and unsaturated.

European rabbits were introduced to Australia in 1859. The rabbits reproduced rapidly in their new environment, displaced other
Goryan [66]

Answer:

B) Natural selection favored rabbits that were resistant to the virus

Explanation:

Most likely, virus resistance occurred over time, as a consequence of mutation. Individuals that carried the resistance mutation become favourable by natural selection.

Natural selection is evolutionary mechanism which favours traits of an organism that help him survive and reproduce (increase organism's fitness). In the example above, resistant rabbits that survived had the favorable trait (resistance) by natural selection.
