Why does a diagram look more like a bush than a straight line

Biology
1 answer:
blagie [28]2 years ago
8 0

Answer: The reason why an evolutionary diagram looks more like a bush than a straight line is the development of new species.

To be more clear - initially we can have one species, and that species will over time start to live in multiple different environments. As the species starts to adapt to the new environment, its appearance and genetics are gradually changing in order for it to have more advantageous traits to survive in the environment. As the time passes, the changes that will emerge in some members will create a new species, and that process will constantly go on, until extinction that is. So we have one species that is an ancestor of multiple new species, thus the family tree, or rather evolutionary diagram, starts to branch out, and as the time passes, it will branch out more and more and take a bush-like looks.

aerobic respiration results in the production of large amounts of lactic acid. How does this impact the body? What is one real l
neonofarm [45]
It’s actually called anaerobic cellular respiration because you’re not using oxygen. For example, when you sprint you can’t breathe very well, so you’re not inhaling as much oxygen you need to make that energy for you to move. Your muscles will go into lactic acid fermentation, and the result of that is energy (ATP) along with lactate (lactic acid), and you will probably start feeling pain as the lactic acids build up.

Hope that helps!

Receptors for ________, peptide hormones, and eicosanoids are found in the cell membranes of target cells.
Vsevolod [243]
The answer is Catecholamine. It is any of a class of aromatic amines that includes a number of neurotransmitters such as epinephrine and dopamine. The adrenergic receptors are a class of G protein-coupled receptors that are targets of the catecholamines, especially norepinephrine (noradrenaline) and epinephrine (adrenaline). These three - catecholamine, peptide hormones and eicosanoids acts as extracellular membrane receptors which means that these receptors are embedded in the membranes of cells. They act in cell signaling by receiving (binding to) extracellular molecules.

Why can information only pass in one direction across synapse?? pls help !!
klio [65]
A Nerve electrical impulse only travels in one direction. There are several reasons nerve impulses only travel in one direction. The most important is synaptic transport.
In order for a "nerve impulse" to pass from cell to cell, it must cross synaptic junctions. The nerve cells are lined up head to tail all the way down a nerve track, and are not connected, but have tiny gaps between them and the next cell. These tiny gaps are called synapses.
When you get a nerve firing, you have probably heard that it is an electrical impulse that carries the signal. This is true, but it is not electrical in the same way your wall outlet works. This is electrochemical energy. Neurotransmitters are molecules that fit like a lock and key into a specific receptor. The receptor is located on the next cell in the line. When the neurotransmitter hits the receptor on the next cell in line, it signals that cell to begin a firing as well.
This will continue all the way down the length of the nerve track. In a nutshell, a nerve firing results in a chain reaction down the nerve cell's axon, or stemlike section. Sodium (Na+) ions flow in, potassium (K+) ions flow out, and we get an electrochemical gradient flowing down the length of the cell. You can think of it as a line of gunpowder that someone lit, with the flame traveling down the length of it. Common electrical power is more like a hose full of water, and when you put pressure on one end, the water shoots out the other.
Therefore, nerve impulses cannot travel in the opposite direction, because nerve cells only have neurotransmitter storage vesicles going one way, and receptors in one place.
