Answer:

When comparing homologous structures, we are comparing the anatomy of one part of an organism to another and finding it to be structurally similar but functionally may be different. Let’s compare a couple of tetrapods, specifically a human arm and a cat arm.

Both the human arm and the cat arm have a single bone in the upper arm, which we call the humerus, followed by two bones in the forearm–the radius on the more medial side and the ulna on the more lateral side. Both arms also have a common wrist structure followed by a grouping of metacarpals and phalanges. All of these structures are similar; however, these structures do not have the same function. Cats are quadrupeds that use their arms for walking and maybe a little climbing and hunting for outdoor cats. Humans, on the other hand, use their arms and hands for gross motor movement like grabbing, hugging, and lifting, as well as fine motor movement like using tools or even communicating.

A whale flipper and a bat wing are also homologous structures in the same sense as a human arm and cat arm with a humerus, radius and ulna, and so on. But the whale’s “arm” is actually a flipper that it uses to swim while the bat uses its wing to fly.

What would happen to an ecosystem if the decomposers and detritivores disappeared?

svp [43]

Organisms that die would have a harder time decaying, or may not even break down at all! Decomposers and detritivores break down dead organisms so without them it won't take place.

Bonding that involves the exchange or gain and loss of electrons is known as

natulia [17]

ionic bonding.
Ionic bonding is a type of chemical bond that involves the electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions, and is the primary interaction occurring in ionic compounds. The ions are atoms that have gained one or more electrons (known as anions, which are negatively charged) and atoms that have lost one or more electrons (known as cations, which are positively charged). This transfer of electrons is known as electrovalence in contrast to covalence. In the simplest case, the cation is a metal atom and the anion is a nonmetal atom, but these ions can be of a more complex nature, e.g. molecular ions like NH4+ or SO42−. In simpler words, an ionic bond is the transfer of electrons from a metal to a non-metal in order to obtain a full valence shell for both atoms.
