Answer:

Cytochrome C; it provides evidences that there is similarities in the respiratory pathways for producing ATPs by  all living organisms especially mammals.

Explanation:

Cytochrome c is located in the intermembranes of mitochondria, and it functions in the transfer of  of one electron in electron transport chain,(ETC) needed for  generation of proton motive force;  for generation of energy in the synthesis of ATPs by ATPase synthase  during chemiosmosis. Its allows oxdation-reduction by the switching of its iron ii to iron iii. during electron transports.However its iron atoms does not undergo oxidation with  oxygen. This feature makes it stable and  an ideal carrier of electrons.

Its amino acid sequences is very similar in all living organisms especially  between mammals(e.g man and chimpanzees)with little variation in few amino acid residues due to mutation.This similarity in its amino acids sequences in all  living  organism together with small molecular size makes it ideal  molecular evidence  for studying comparative molecular evidence of  evolution.

This is because it can be used  to trace  the pathways of respiration to synthesize energy, and therefore to conclude that  most  organisms share common ancestry, since a very similar protein sequence in  a structure(Cytochrome c) participated in unique ETC mechanisms  in all, needed for energy synthesis .

The best description of the given terms are as follows:

  1. Mutualism - a relationship where both organisms benefits
  2. Commensalism - a a relationship where one organism benefits and the other is unaffected
  3. Producers - organisms that make their own food
  4. Food web - show energy flow in an ecosystem
  5. Biome - a large area defined by climate and organisms that live there
  6. Stability - ability of an ecosystem to respond to change
  7. Exponential - growth pattern at constant rate
  8. Carrying capacity
  9. Food chain
  10. Limiting factor
  11. Parasitism
  12. Trophic levels

Which is the best explanation for how air masses move across the United States
Akimi4 [234]
Warm air rises, expands, then cools. As cool air sinks it may cause precipitation. Some air masses such as the MT which originate in warm environments carry humid air and cause heavy precipitation in some areas.

How do you adjust the focus of the microscope when observing organisms at high magnifications?
-Dominant- [34]

Answer:

The microscope is an instrument used for the visualization of the cell and its other component. Different types of microscope are compound microscope, electron microscope and binocular microscope.

The adjustment of the slide is important to visualize the focused object. A proper source of light is required to focus the image. At high magnification, the fine focus control is used for the adjustment. At 100 X the oil is used to visualize the object.

Resource partitioning

Resource partitioning refers to differences in resource use between species regardless of the origin of the differences. Similar species can coexist in the same ecological community without one pushing the others to extinction through competition. Species compete for the same resources which include nutrients and habitats which are the raw materials needed by organisms to grow, live, and reproduce. For the question given above, the divergence in lizards is an example of resource partitioning.

how are mutations continually being generated in a population (what are some of the causes of mutatuions?) explain
vampirchik [111]
Some causes could be the mother smoking, drinking, doing drugs etc. Or even simply her body doesn’t fully accept the baby growing inside her so it acts out against it. Sounds strange but it happens. Also if the mother is sick with Zika or another virus, it can harm the baby’s growth.
