Answer:

Gills are evaginations of the body surface. Some open directly to the environment; others, as in fishes, are enclosed in a cavity. In contrast, lungs represent invaginations of the body surface. Many invertebrates use gills as a major means of gas exchange; a few, such as the pulmonate land snail, use lungs.

Explanation:

They're just their to help the fish breath

Answer:

Basically, gills filter the water around the animal and take in the small amount of oxegen mixed in the water. Lungs take in all of the air and almost half of it is oxgen and they can't go underwater for long. But since lungs are more efficient, animals with lungs can grow bigger than animals with gills

Why is having an extra chromosome 21 tolerable to the point that someone with this condition can survive to maturity?
Vilka [71]
I think that having an extra chromosome 21 is tolerable to the point that someone with this condition can survive to maturity because it does not replicate.

There should only be a pair of chromosome 21. In the event that there are 3 chromosome 21, the person that has this extra chromosome has Down syndrome. Changes in the number and structure of this chromosome may result to delayed development, intellectual disability, but not immediate death.

What molecule(s) link the light reactions (stage 1 of photosynthesis) to the Calvin cycle (stage 2 of photosynthesis)?
Zina [86]

Answer:

ATP and NADPH

Explanation:

The photosynthetic process carried out by plants involves two distinct stages: the light-dependent stage and the Light-independent stage. The light-dependent stage occurs in the thylakoid membrane of the CHLOROPLAST and it involves a series of chemical reactions that results in the formation of an energy storage molecule (ATP) and reduced electron carrier (NADPH).

These molecules enters the Calvin cycle or light-independent stage. The chemical energy of ATP and reducing ability of NADPH are used to phosphorylate and reduce a 3-carbon compound (PGA) in the Calvin cycle. These two molecules (NADPH and ATP) are important to keep the Calvin cycle in place. Hence, the Calvin cycle is dependent on the light reaction and this two molecules link the two stages.
