Galapagos cormorants split off from other cormorants is described below.
Explanation:
- Phalacrocoracidae is a family of approximately 40 species of aquatic birds commonly known as cormorants and shags. Several different classifications of the family have been proposed recently and the number of genera is disputed. The great cormorant (P. carbo) and the common shag (P. aristotelis) are the only two species of the family commonly encountered on the British Isles and "cormorant" and "shag" appellations have been later assigned to different species in the family somewhat haphazardly.
- Cormorants and shags are medium-to-large birds, with body weight in the range of 0.35–5 kilograms (0.77–11.02 lb) and wing span of 45–100 centimetres (18–39 in). The majority of species have dark feathers. The bill is long, thin and hooked. Their feet have webbing between all four toes.
- All species are fish-eaters, catching the prey by diving from the surface. They are excellent divers, and under water they propel themselves with their feet with help from their wings; some cormorant species have been found to dive as deep as 45 metres (150 ft). They have relatively short wings due to their need for economical movement underwater, and consequently have the highest flight costs of any flying bird
- Cormorants nest in colonies around the shore, on trees, islets or cliffs. They are coastal rather than oceanic birds, and some have colonised inland waters – indeed, the original ancestor of cormorants seems to have been a fresh-water bird.
The information that the nurse will include when teaching the patient the pregnant woman with a history of early chronic HIV infection is that most infant born to HIV positive mothers are not always infected with the HIV virus . Through the use of antiretroviral therapy HIV virus transmission percentage is reduced.
Answer:
Hurricane of August 27, 1900.
Explanation:
The most severe damage to the island was caused by the hurricane that starts on August 27, 1900 whereas ends on September 15, 1900. This hurricane caused severe damaged to the population about 6000 to 12000 people were killed. This hurricane damaged the property of $1.097 billion. The intensity of winds reaches up to 145 mph (230 km/h) that is responsible for this severe human and property damage to Galveston Island.
Answer:
carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen
Answer:
Components of the electron transport chain (ordered by electronegativity from least electronegative to most electronegative):
NADH dehydrogenase >> Coenzyme Q >> Cytochrome b-c1 complex >> Cytochrome c >> Cytochrome oxidase complex > O2
Explanation:
The electron transport chain transfers electrons from donors to acceptors via redox reactions (i.e., where reduction and oxidation occur together), and couples the transfer of electrons with proton transfer (H+ ions) across the membrane. In the electron transport chain, the electrons are transferred from NADH dehydrogenase NADH to oxygen (O2) through a series of transmembrane complexes: NADH-Q oxidoreductase, Q-cytochrome c oxidoreductase and cytochrome c oxidase. In the first place, the reduced form of coenzyme Q (ubiquinone) transports the electrons from the NADH-Q oxidoreductase to the Q-cytochrome c oxidoreductase complex (Cytochrome b-c1 complex). Second, the cytochrome c transports the electrons from this complex (i.e., Cytochrome b-c1 complex) to the Cytochrome oxidase complex, this being the last component in the electron transport chain that is responsible to catalyze the reduction of O2.
