Diatoms contain chloroplasts that have four membranes. These four membranes are evidence of secondary endosymbiosis (Option c).

<h3>What is secondary endosymbiosis?</h3>

Secondary endosymbiosis is a hypothesis used to explain why diatom chloroplasts have four membranes.

According to this hypothesis, diatoms received different genes from distinct photosynthetic and non-photosynthetic ancestors.

The acquisition of genes of different ancestors led to diatoms having chloroplasts with four membranes.

Where were the earliest modern humans in australia, dating to 50 to 40,000 ybp, found?
vampirchik [111]
The earliest modern humans in Australia, dating to 50 - 40,000 yBP, were found at Lake Mungo. Early modern humans moved into North and South America because of population increase, competition for food and climate change. Modern humans likely migrated to the Americas via walking across the Being land bridge.

How does the body of a 100m sprinter produce energy for this event?
mafiozo [28]
Its estimated that during sprint events approximately 95% of energy production comes via the anaerobic system (85% phosphate, 10% anaerobic glycolysis), and only 5% from aerobic oxygen. Thus, the 100m sprint is an anaerobic event relying heavily on energy supply from the ATP-PC system!

11. Countercurrent exchange in the legs of geese
Shkiper50 [21]

Answer:

Reduces heat lost to the water

Explanation:

In some birds such as the geese, to reduce the amount of energy cost when regulation their temperature, some morphological and behavioural has been used to maintain the rate of heat gain and loss. For uninsulated parts of the birds's body such as the legs, there is the presence to countercurrent head exchange between wherein the arteries and veins in the legs lie in close contact with each other in other to retain heat as these uninstalled regions are potential areas of heat loss since they are uninsulated unlike insulated parts (parts covered with feathers). Constriction of the arteries and veins will ensure blood flow to the feet of the geese at a low temperature.
