Answer:
In biology, adaptation has three related meanings. Firstly, it is the dynamic evolutionary process that fits organisms to their environment, enhancing their evolutionary fitness. Secondly, it is a state reached by the population during that process. Thirdly, it is a phenotypic trait or adaptive trait, with a functional role in each individual organism, that is maintained and has evolved through natural selection. Historically, adaptation has been described from the time of the ancient Greek philosophers such as Empedocles and Aristotle. In 18th and 19th century natural theology, adaptation was taken as evidence for the existence of a deity. Charles Darwin proposed instead that it was explained by natural selection. Adaptation is related to biological fitness, which governs the rate of evolution as measured by change in gene frequencies. Often, two or more species co-adapt and co-evolve as they develop adaptations that interlock with those of the other species, such as with flowering plants and pollinating insects. In mimicry, species evolve to resemble other species; in Müllerian mimicry this is a mutually beneficial co-evolution as each of a group of strongly defended species (such as wasps able to sting) come to advertise their defenses in the same way. Features evolved for one purpose may be co-opted for a different one, as when the insulating feathers of dinosaurs were co-opted for bird flight. Adaptation is a major topic in the philosophy of biology, as it concerns function and purpose (teleology). Some biologists try to avoid terms which imply purpose in adaptation, not least because it suggests a deity's intentions, but others note that adaptation is necessarily purposeful.

the answer is the one across from the first one hoped that helped
Explanation:
What is the difference between active transport across a cell membrane and diffusion across a cell membrane?
A. Active transport involves the movement of molecules from high concentration O
B. Active transport
to low contration diffusion does not
cells
Answer:
i'm not sure if these are all the options you have but the answer is that active transport requires energy and that active transport is the movement of molecules from an area of their lower to their higher concentration against the concentration gradient

In your own words explain why the shape of leaves make a good tool for photosynthesis
Answer:
Leaves have pores that help them breathe in carbon dioxide, a key requirement for photosynthesis.

Answer:
91
Explanation:
Since you have 100 people and 9 died you subtract so it's = 91
Name the substances that plants excrete.
Answer:
Plants need to excrete excess carbon dioxide and oxygen. Carbon dioxide is a waste product of aerobic respiration in plant cells. Oxygen is a waste product of photosynthesis .

As Mia mixed two substances in a test tube, she noticed that the test tube became warm. She also noticed gas coming from the test tube. Based on Mia's observations, what was most likely occuring inside the test tube?
Answer:
The correct answer would be - a new substance is forming.
Explanation:
A reaction can lead to two types of changes in the substances reacting, it could be chemical change or physical change or both. Physical changes are deal with the change in the state of the matter and other physical changes whereas chemical change leads to the formation of a new substance by the altering composition of the substances.
Chemical changes involve a change in temperature, formin and releasing gas, or changing the color of reactants. In the given case, Mia mix two substances which leads to an increase in temperature and release gas by this reaction which tells there is a chemical reaction forming a new substance.

Explanation:
A population of crabs live in an environment with white colored sand. Half of the crabs have white shells, and half have brown shells. Which color crab do you think is more likely to survive? What will the next generation of crabs look like? Explain your answer.
Answer:
The crabs with white shells. The next generation of crabs will be white shelled.
Explanation:
The crabs with white shells are more likely to survive because they blend in with the white sand more than the ones with brown shells making it easier to hide from predators and also makes it a desired trait.
The graph shows ice core data that illustrate historical trends in the amount
of carbon dioxide in Earth's atmosphere. Scientists attribute global warming
to recent increases in human activities that produce carbon dioxide. Which
kind of data would show that a new solution to the problem of global
warming is working?
A. Historic atmospheric CO2 levels would be the same as current
levels
B. Current atmospheric CO2 levels would be increasing at a steady
rate.
C. Historic atmospheric CO2 levels would no longer appear to
increase over time.
D. Current atmospheric CO2 levels would be increasing more slowly.
Answer: D. Current atmosphere CO2 levels would be increasing more slowly.
Explanation: A P E X
The graph shows historical trends in the amount of carbon dioxide in Earth's atmosphere. The data would show that a new solution is Historic atmospheric CO2 levels would no longer appear to increase over time.
What can cause the increase of CO2 in the atmosphere?In the last 200 years, the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has increased by 27% — due to the burning of fossil fuels with the beginning of the industrial age and deforestation — with half of this increase occurring in the last 30 years.
A possible solution to reduce CO2 emissions would be to store it in underground brine, also generating geothermal energy and methane as fuels. So in the future, we will see a historic atmospheric CO2 levels would no longer appear to increase over time.

Answer:
eggs
Explanation:
Answer:
The gamete that contains genes contributed by the mother is: an egg. Cells containing two alleles for each trait are descr. as: diploid. In meiosis, the way in which a chrom. pr. separates doesn't affect the way other prs. separate = independent assortment.
