In 1805, a Scottish explorer named Mungo Park led an expedition of European geographers to find the source of the Niger River in

Africa. The journey began with a party of 45 Europeans. During the expedition, most of these men perished from malaria. Their native guides and the other natives they encountered were seemingly unaffected. Use the data to construct an explanation for why the native Africans’ phenotype helped them survive.

Explanation:

Mungo Park (11 September 1771 – 1806) was a Scottish explorer of West Africa. After an exploration of the upper Niger River around 1796, he wrote a popular and influential travel book titled Travels in the Interior Districts of Africa in which he theorized the Niger and Congo merged to become the same river.

Mungo Park was an intrepid and daring traveller and explorer, hailing originally from Scotland. He explored West Africa during the tumultuous 18th century, and was actually the first Westerner to travel to the central part of the Niger River.

Reports that the expedition had met with disaster soon reached the settlements on the Gambia. In 1812 it was learned that when the explorers reached the rapids at Bussa, about 1,000 miles below Sansanding, they were attacked by local inhabitants, and Park was drowned.

Which discovery supported the endosymbiotic theory?
alexdok [17]

The right answer is A.) DNA in mitochondria .

Eukaryotic cells, with their many intracellular organelles, have long been considered progeny of prokaryotes that would have become more complex as a result of genetic mutations. But from the 1960s, biologist Lynn Margulis proposed an alternative explanation that was first received coldly by the scientific community. His endosymbiotic theory, proposed in a more formal way in a 1981 book, proposes that eukaryotic cells as we know them today would be the result of a series of symbiotic associations with different prokaryotes.

Mitochondria and chloroplasts also have their own DNA that is not trapped in a nucleus, which is also the case with prokaryotes. However, the proteins encoded by this DNA do not cover all mitochondrial proteins. The prokaryote is thought to have lost some genes to the nucleus of the cell, a process known as "endosymbiotic gene transfer". For this reason, mitochondria and chloroplasts are now host-dependent for the synthesis of most of their components.

give two reasons why it is better fro human muscle cells to produce energy through aerobic respiration than through anaerobic re
astra-53 [7]

Answer:

During anaerobic respiration lactic acid is produced which is not good for human. It causes muscle pain.

ATP produces during anaerobic respiration are less while aerobic respiration produces more ATPs.

Explanation:

During anaerobic respiration lactic acid is produced which is not good for human. It causes muscle pain.

ATP produces during anaerobic respiration are less while aerobic respiration produces more ATPs.

Aerobic respiration

It is the breakdown of glucose molecule in the presence of oxygen to yield large amount of energy. Water and carbon dioxide are also produced as a byproduct.

Glucose + oxygen → carbon dioxide + water + 38ATP

Anaerobic Respiration

It is the breakdown of glucose molecule in the absence of oxygen and produce small amount of energy. Alcohol or lactic acid and carbon dioxide are also produced as byproducts.  

Glucose→ lactic acid/alcohol + 2ATP + carbon dioxide
