Answer: Darwin was able to arrive at a conclusion that there was no relationship between the fossils of the ground sloth and the bones of the captured sloths that currently reside in South America.
Explanation:
Evolution is defined as the sum total of adaptive changes that have taken place over a very long period of time. It leads to the development of new species from earlier ones. Evolution is an extremely slow process. It is difficult to obtain direct evidence of evolution in action. However, scientist such as Darwin, have gathered a great deal of indirect evidence that supports the theory of evolution. These evidence comes from many sources including:
--> fossils records
--> biochemical similarities
--> molecular records
--> Comparative anatomy and
--> embryology.
FOSSILS RECORDS shows the existence of species that are now in extinct which lived on Earth during different periods of the planet's history. They provide evidence that organisms from the past are not the same as those found today due to adaptive changes that has occurred over a long period of time on the organism in order to survive in its environment.
There was no relationship between the sloths because of the difference in BONE MASS.
Use Darwin's theory of Natural Selection to explain the process by which the four-legged land animal, A, may have evolved, over about 20 million years, from the fish-like creature, C, in the swampy conditions of the time.
Answer:
Due to environmental conditions.
Explanation:
With the passage of time, environmental conditions change which causes the evolution of of four legged land animals from fish like creature. This change occurs due to change in environment. In water, there is no need for legs because fish moves with the help of fins and tail but the organisms that lives on land has legs in order to move from one place to another so we can say that change in the physical structure of organism occurs due to environment.

Agriculture activities are precursors for environmental degradation without human and nation benefit discuss
Answer:
Yes.
Explanation:
Yes, Agriculture activities are precursors for environmental degradation without human and nation benefit because these activities are responsible for the soil degradation. If we skip the human and nation benefit from these agricultural activities, there is disadvantage of these activities which destruction of soil. The tillage practices loosen the soil that leads to the erosion of soil through wind.

Unicellular eukaryotes that line in pond water. _____________________[Text Wrapping Break] c. Multicellular eukaryotes that live all over the planet and consume food. ______________________ [Text Wrapping Break] d. Unicellular prokaryotes that live in volcanic ash. __________________________[Text Wrapping Break] e. Multicellular eukaryotes that have cell walls and are heterotrophic. _______________________[Text Wrapping Break] f. Multicellular eukaryotes that have cell walls and are autotrophic. ________________________
Answer:
A. Unicellular prokaryotes that live in dust. Monera.
B. Unicellular eukaryotes that line in pond water. Protist.
C. Multicellular eukaryotes that live all over the planet and consume food. Animals.
D. Unicellular prokaryotes that live in volcanic ash. Monera.
E. Multicellular eukaryotes that have cell walls and are heterotrophic. Fungi.
F. Multicellular eukaryotes that have cell walls and are autotrophic. Plants.
Explanation:
The 5 kingdoms are a way of classifying all living organisms on our planet, as each species inside a kingdom shares similarities with the other species in it.
Monera kingdom includes all of the prokaryotic organisms that exist, which includes bacteria and archaea. These beings are characterized by lacking a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles and having one single circular chromosome that is found in the center of the cell. They are unicellular. Example: escherichia coli.
Protists are the most primitive eukaryotes that exist, most of them are unicellular and microscopic, but possess a nucleus and specialized organelles like the rest of the eukaryotes have. Example: yeasts.
Fungi and Plants are quite similar, they are multicellular eukaryotes that have cell walls. Their main difference relies on the way they obtain nutrients: fungi are heterotrophs, they feed off living things; plants, however, are autotrophs and realize photosynthesis (they do not need to feed). Fungi and Plants also reproduce differently: fungi reproduce through spores; plants can reproduce sexually or asexually. Fungi example: amanita; plant example: cactus.
Animals are multicellular eukaryotic organisms that reproduce sexually and are heterotrophs (some feed off plants, some feed off other animals). They are characterized by their ability to move. Example: horse.

Explain Nitrogen cycle [ step by step ]
Explanation:
Nitrogen is essential to life because it is a key component of proteins and nucleic acids. Nitrogen occurs in many forms and is continuously cycled among these forms by a variety of bacteria. Although nitrogen is abundant in the atmosphere as diatomic nitrogen gas (N2), it is extremely stable, and conversion to other forms requires a great deal of energy. Historically, the biologically available forms NO3- and NH3 have often been limited; however, current anthropogenic processes, such as fertilizer production, have greatly increased the availability of nitrogen to living organisms. The cycling of nitrogen among its many forms is a complex process that involves numerous types of bacteria and environmental conditions.
In general, the nitrogen cycle has five steps:
Nitrogen fixation (N2 to NH3/ NH4+ or NO3-)
Nitrification (NH3 to NO3-)
Assimilation (Incorporation of NH3 and NO3- into biological tissues)
Ammonification (organic nitrogen compounds to NH3)
Denitrification(NO3- to N2)
Nitrogen Fixation
Nitrogen fixation is the process by which gaseous nitrogen (N2) is converted to ammonia (NH3 or NH4+) via biological fixation or nitrate (NO3-) through high-energy physical processes. N2 is extremely stable and a great deal of energy is required to break the bonds that join the two N atoms. N2 can be converted directly into NO3- through processes that exert a tremendous amount of heat, pressure, and energy. Such processes include combustion, volcanic action, lightning discharges, and industrial means. However, a greater amount of biologically available nitrogen is naturally generated via the biological conversion of N2 to NH3/ NH4+. A small group of bacteria and cyanobacteria are capable using the enzyme nitrogenase to break the bonds among the molecular nitrogen and combine it with hydrogen.
Nitrogenase only functions in the absence of oxygen. The exclusion of oxygen is accomplished by many means. Some bacteria live beneath layers of oxygen-excluding slime on the roots of certain plants. The most important soil dwelling bacteria, Rhizobium, live in oxygen-free zones in nodules on the roots of legumes and some other woody plants. Aquatic filamentous cyanobacteria utilize oxygen-excluding cells called heterocysts.
Nitrification
Nitrification is a two-step process in which NH3/ NH4+ is converted to NO3-. First, the soil bacteria Nitrosomonas and Nitrococcus convert NH3 to NO2-, and then another soil bacterium, Nitrobacter, oxidizes NO2- to NO3-. These bacteria gain energy through these conversions, both of which require oxygen to occur.
Assimilation
Assimilation is the process by which plants and animals incorporate the NO3- and ammonia formed through nitrogen fixation and nitrification. Plants take up these forms of nitrogen through their roots, and incorporate them into plant proteins and nucleic acids. Animals are then able to utilize nitrogen from the plant tissues.
Ammonification
Assimilation produces large quantities of organic nitrogen, including proteins, amino acids, and nucleic acids. Ammonification is the conversion of organic nitrogen into ammonia. The ammonia produced by this process is excreted into the environment and is then available for either nitrification or assimilation.
Denitrification
Denitrification is the reduction of NO3- to gaseous N2 by anaerobic bacteria. This process only occurs where there is little to no oxygen, such as deep in the soil near the water table. Hence, areas such as wetlands provide a valuable place for reducing excess nitrogen levels via denitrification processes.
Common Forms of Nitrogen
The most common forms of inorganic nitrogen in the environment are diatomic nitrogen gas (N2), nitrate (NO3-), nitrite (NO2-), ammonia (NH3), and ammonium (NH4+). The species that predominate depend on the chemical, physical, and biological environment.
In aquatic environments, the presence of nitrogen as unionized ammonia (NH3) or ammonium (NH4+) is dependent on the pH and temperature.
When the pH is below 8.75, NH4+ predominates. Increases in pH signify increases in the hydroxyl ion (OH-) concentration of the water, meaning the above reaction will shift to the left in order to reach equilibrium. Above a pH of 9.75, NH3 predominates (Hem, 1985). NH3 is a more toxic to aquatic life. If biological assimilation of NH3 is not occurring at a sufficient rate, NH3 may accumulate and cause detrimental effects to aquatic life.
In soils, NH4+ ions are strongly sorbed by clay particles and organic matter, which have a net negative surface charge. In alkaline soils, NH4+ will be converted to NH3 gas, and lost to the atmosphere. Under warm growing conditions, NH4+ in the soil will be transformed to NO3- via nitrification. NO3- is very soluble, and can easily be leached from soils under wet conditions.

What is the best argument that can be made from this data?
More distant galaxies are moving toward us faster.
More distant galaxies are brighter.
More distant galaxies are not as bright.
More distant galaxies are moving away faster.
Answer:
more distant galaxies are moving away faster.
the shift towards red (Doppler effect like with sound on Earth) is the indication.
Explanation:
what did this have to do with biology ?
and by the way, this is also something I debate severely in scientific communities, because yes, the red shift is there. but "more distant" also means "more in the past", so that the data shows us actually that things in the past moved faster away. not necessarily today ...

Why do boys tend to get so nervous when they talk to a girl and what does that mean??
What does it mean when a guy looks at you at random points throughout the day??
Answer:
1. It's because when they talk to girls (Not all), they fill their head with all sorts of doubts and worries and then feels nervous as a result.. like for example they could be thinking "Am I making the right impression? Am I too annoying? What does she think of me?"
2. It means that they think that person is pretty. But if it gets too weird or annoying, you should report/tell an adult about it right away.

The offspring in binary fission are
identical
different
Answer:
Identical
Explanation:
Binary fission is a form of asexual reproduction. This is when only one parent is involved in creating offspring. Since there is only one parent, two sets of DNA cannot be combined into a new offspring; so, it must be identical.
