Answer:

Sweating helps the human body maintain homeostasis by cooling the body when it starts to overheat so the internal temperature is kept more or less the same. When sweat evaporates from the skin, it uses up some of the excess heat energy on the skin, thus helping to keep the body cool.

According to cell theory, all living things are made of cells, and living cells come only from other living cells. Gene theory states that the characteristics of living things are controlled by genes, which are passed from parents to their offspring.

Sample answer: The concentration of oxygen in the atmosphere is maintained at 21 percent by a balance between two opposing processes: removal of oxygen from the atmosphere by most living things and addition of oxygen to the atmosphere by living things such as plants.

Sample answer: The human ability to sweat is an adaptation that helps maintain homeostasis in a hot environment by removing heat from the body when it evaporates. Like other adaptations, the ability to maintain homeostasis by sweating evolved by natural selection sometime in our evolutionary past.

a. Gene theory

b. Homeostasis

B

An adaptation is a trait that helps a living thing survive and reproduce in a given environment. Sample example. The chameleon’s ability to change color to match their background is an adaptation.

False

False

Humans began life as a single cell because we develop from a fertilized egg cell.

Gene theory states that genes are passed down from parents to their offspring. Genes determine the characteristics or traits of an organism. If these traits are particularly beneficial or adaptive, natural selection will cause the organisms with beneficial traits to produce more offspring compared to those without the beneficial traits. This results in a change in traits over time, which is called evolution.

No. Evolution is defined as a change in the characteristics of living things over time. Evolution through natural selection causes differences in the amount of offspring produced. Having offspring (or not) is, by definition, more than one generation.

Sample answer. I think that when ancestors of chameleons could change their color to match their background, they were less likely to be detected and killed by predators than those that couldn’t change their color. Therefore, the individuals that had the color matching ability were more likely to survive and reproduce than those that didn’t. This is an example of natural selection. Over time, this led to the population evolving the color changing ability, as those that didn’t have the ability died out.

The Venn diagram details some of the helpful and harmful effects of bacteria. In what ways are viruses like bacteria?
dimaraw [331]

Answer:

A) Viruses are also pathogenic

Explanation:

A pathogen<u> is an organism that is capable of causing a disease to another organism.</u> Viruses, similarly to bacteria, are able to cause a diversity of diseases. However, they are considered non-living organisms because they fully depend on another cell to survive and reproduce. Therefore, they can only cause an infection if the organism's cells can support the replication of the virus. Moreover, to cause disease, the infecting virus has to overcome numerous "challenges", from  physical barriers to host defenses.

Viruses can cause the following diseases:

  • Common cold
  • Influenza
  • Herpes
  • HIV
  • Ebola
  • Smallpox
  • Rabies

amongst many others...

nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

Mitochondrial typing is a method where by the DNA of a person is matched with the DNA of a sample found at a crime site. This is a method which is mainly done at forensic labs to find out the accused with the help of DNA of the individual. This is called DNA typing to scientist because they think they will find something really rare if they finger out mitochondrial DNA
