The common ancestor.

A phylogenetic tree shows how a species originates (by evolution) other species. It’s very similar a genealogic tree. If you want your family tree, you should write down your name and the names of all your brothers and sisters and then draw a line from all those names to the names of your parents, and then draw a line from the name of your father to the names of your gramma and grampa, and then do the same with the names of your aunts and uncles. If you repeat the process with many, many generations, you will have the common ancestor to all of those relatives. You can do the same with species: for example, humans are supposed to have a common ancestor with monkeys, so their lines will end together in the same point in the graph. Then you have to draw a line from that point to another point that will be shared with other mammalians, then Mammalians share a point with other vertebrates, and so on… If you keep on going, you will get to LUCA someday.

QveST [7]

The right answers are on the attached image.


Baroreflex is a reflex triggered when a baroreceptor is stimulated. In the human body, baroreceptors are found in the carotid sinuses and the sinus of the aorta. These receptors are stimulated during changes in blood pressure. Baroreceptors are sensitive to the stretching of blood vessels.

As blood pressure rises, baroreceptors transmit nerve impulses to the vasomotor center of the medulla oblongata, which is then inhibited. This results in vasodilatation of the blood vessels to reduce blood pressure.

The answer could not be c. because a nucleus  is a tiny structure, or organelle, in a cell that "packages" nutrients for use inside the cell. The answer could not be  Endoplasmic Reticulum because that is where proteins are transported from one part to the other. So the only answer left is Mitochondria, because the Mitochondriamain function is to produce ATP, the energy currency of the cell.
