How many different ways does/could energy change form during its travels between the Sun and your stomach?

1 answer:

6 0

Energy will take the path from sun to stomach as sun's energy to chemical energy followed by thermal and mechanical energy.

Explanation:

The energy of the sun is in the from of chemical energy which is the ultimate basis of life on earth . The process of photosynthesis occurs to form a chemical compound named glucose. The food ingested is in polymer complex forms as protein, carbohydrate, fats etc which is broken into monomers for absorption in intestine and stomach.

The dietary compound has energy stored in their bonds as chemical energy.

So, from sun human consume chemical energy which is stored in food.

The energy even if consumed by eating meat is also chemical energy which is stored as potential energy.

The breakdown of food or chemical energy into monomers leads to release of thermal energy or heat to maintain optimum body temperature.

Chemical energy also gets converted to mechanical energy which allows functioning of vital organs and movement of body.

The last common ancestor of all animals was probably a ________. A. unicellular chytrid B. multicellular algae C. multicellular

Sati [7]

Option (D) flagellated protist is correct.

The last common ancestor of all animals was probably a flagellated protist.

<h3>What is a Protist?</h3>

Any eukaryotic organism that is not an animal, plant, or fungus is referred to as a protist.
The absence of other eukaryotes means that protists do not constitute a natural group, or clade, even though it seems likely that they all descended from a common ancestor.

Protozoa is another name for protists that resemble animals. Some are parasites as well.
The four phyla that make up the Protozoa are flagellates, ciliates, spore-forming protists, and protists that resemble amoebas.

Nuclear membranes surround the DNA of protists.
Most protists are motile, or able to move, and many of them inhabit aquatic settings.
Protists can reproduce sexually and/or asexually, and their life cycles are intricate.
Protists consume, absorb, or produce food through photosynthesis.

Which Mimulus species would you categorize as mainly asexual reproducers? Why? A. M. rupestris and M. eastwoodiae; they put more

nekit [7.7K]

Answer: C. M. rupestris, M. eastwoodiae, and M. nelsonii; they put more energy into making rooted branches than they put into making nectar and seeds.

Explanation:

In asexual mode of reproduction the plant does not produce gametes. The plant reproduce through vegetative propagation or spore formation. The plant does not produce nectar as no flowers are produced to attract the pollinators.

In sexual mode of reproduction the plant will develop the gametes and flowers will produce the nectar to attract the pollinators.

Thus on the basis of above explaination, C is the correct option. As the plants will invest more energy in making roots which are the organs for vegetative propagation a process of asexual reproduction.

Explain how a change in the environment can cause the disappearance of traits or possibly cause an extinction of a species.

aliya0001 [1]

Answer:

Changes in the environment may leave individuals less well adapted to compete successfully for resources such as food, water and mates. Sometimes an entire species may become unable to compete successfully and reproduce. These problems can lead to extinction.
