Primates are a group of mammals including humans, apes, monkeys, lemurs and lorises. The physical adaptations that all primates share are; a fairly generalized skeletal layout that can be used for many different modes of locomotion, specialized forelimbs, hands and feet, a larger brain especially the cerebral cortex, an omnivorous diet, stereoscopic vision that helps in the perception of depth and measuring distance and a small number of offspring at birth.

mart [117]

Answer:

Organs of excretion make up the excretory system.

They include the :

kidneys-Blood by-products are filtered out by the kidneys and leave the body in urine form. They are part of the urinary system, which also includes the ureters, bladder, and urethra

large intestine-By-products enter the intestine and leave the body in the form of feces

liver- breaks down harmful substances. It's by-products are excreted into bile or blood.

skin-Sweating eliminates excess water and salts, as well as a small amount of urea, a byproduct of protein catabolism

lungs- oxygen is exchanged for a waste gas called carbon dioxide. Your bloodstream then carries this waste gas back to the lungs where it is removed from the bloodstream and then exhaled

A scientist is comparing the outer structure of an onion cell, structure X, to the outer structure of a human skin cell, structu

hammer [34]

Answer:

Structure X is only found in plant cells, and structure Y is found in plant and animal cells.

Explanation:

The structure found on the outside of the onion cell is the cell wall, which is specific to plants. The structure found on the outside of the skin cell is the cell membrane, which is found on all cells.

Structure X is not living, and structure Y is living. - this is false, both animal and plant cells are living.

Structure X can be found in some human cells, and structure Y can be found in some plant cells. - this is false, the opposite is true.

Structure X is only found in plant cells, and structure Y is found in plant and animal cells. - this is true structure X is the plant cell wall, and structure Y is the cell membrane

Structure X is semipermeable, and structure Y is selectively permeable. Semi-permeable and selectively permeable are essentially the same thing - it means the barrier allows some substances to pass through but not others.
