Biology
1 answer:
Leokris [45]2 years ago
8 0

The wing of a penguin is homologous to the arm of a human.

Homologous organs refer to organs of different organisms that are structurally similar but functionally different.

The wing of a penguin and the arm of a human are structurally similar because they are both built on the same pentadactyl or five-digit plan.

Despite the structural similarity, the wing of a penguin and the arm of a human are adapted for different functions. While the wings of a penguin are used to propel the animal in water by flapping them together, the arms of a human are adapted for several functions, including swimming when necessary.

Nuts are a good source of vitamin E. <br> a. True<br> b. False
mixer [17]
Nuts indeed are a good source of vitamin E. This is true. However, when talking about nuts we have to consider that not all nuts have the same nutritional information nor do all of them have plenty of vitamin E. While we can say this for most, it is necessary to be wary of making such statements.
