Answer: (C) energy

Earth is an open system with respect to energy because the earth receives energy from the sun in the form of solar energy. This energy is absorbed by the oceans and terrestrial land. The solar energy in the form of thermal energy heat up the oceans and the terrestrial land which results in the release of thermal energy by the oceans and terrestrial lands. Some of this thermal energy is reflected back to the exterior of the earth which supports the fact that earth is an open system.

netineya [11]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

This is called the locus and is determined in Meiosis by gametes from parent cells. During meiosis there is this thing called 'crossing over' where the gametes (sperm and egg cells) homologous genes (genes of similar size and shape, such as X and Y chromosomes or X and X) exchange genes on the same locus to provide slightly different characteristics.

Please check this with your teacher but i believe that this is right. Hope this helps. ;)

ahrayia [7]

Answer:

a. they can fix carbon at the lower CO2 concentrations that develop when the stomata are closed

Explanation:

C4 plants are those that have the capacity to fix CO2 even when a tiny concentration of it is available.

Desert condition is characterized by dryness and strong heat with both condition capable of creating water stress in plant as a result of evapotranspiration. In order to reduce evapotranspiration rate, desert plants (most C4 plants) close their stomata during the day.

<em>Stomata closure limit the diffusion of CO2 into desert plants and the small concentration of CO2 that results is utilized by a special enzyme in the plants.</em>

The correct option is a.

The faster a cheetah can run, the more likely it is to capture its prey. Cheetahs with longer legs are able to run faster than t
stealth61 [152]

Answer:

D

Explanation:

This is the more likely explanation, as there must be a limit to leg length in an animal that has to run very fast and strain their muscles and bones to the limit to do so.

As for the other options, there is no evidence to conclude that the genes that are involved in cheetahs leg length do not undergo mutation because the population exhibits a variety of leg lengths. Neither can we conclude that there are any isolated subgroups in the pupulation. Natural selection does act upon the traits involved in predation, as the question starts by saying that the faster a cheetah can run the more likely it is to capture its prey.
