Evolution is a slow continuous process of change that happens in plants and animals over a long period of time resulting in a change from simpler to more complex forms. This is the reason modern day plants and animals are different from those of past.
The competition for resources will favour organisms with better adaptability and certain variations over others hence leading to change in the rate of occurrence of certain traits within that population. This process is called natural selection.
Relationship between evolution and natural selection is that main theory behind evolution is natural selection. The species with variations better suited to environment will survive and reproduce …show more content…
Passive membrane transport is when ions and other molecules move across a membrane down the concentration gradient without the utilization of ATP.
ATP / ADP
ATP stands for Adenosine Triphosphate. It is comprised of an adenosine atom and three inorganic phosphates, or a triphosphate. When one of these phosphates is expelled, the vitality that keeps individuals alive is created.
When one of the three phosphates are expelled the resulting compound is called ADP, Adenosine Diphosphate. ADP can be changed over once again into ATP with the goal that it can be utilized once more. Energy is required to do this, yet there is a general increase in energy when the procedure happens.
Alcohol fermentation / Lactate fermentation
Also called ethanol fermentation, alcohol fermentation is the anaerobic pathway of fermentation by which simple sugars are converted into ethanol and carbon dioxide. As a result of this fermentation, 2 ATP are produced/glucose. For example cytosol of yeast …show more content…
Blue--green algae were the first photosynthetic organisms. they started eating up CO2 and converted it into marine sediments. While they reduced CO2 from atmosphere they started producing oxygen. For a long time the oxygen produced was absorbed by the rocks that is why it did not build up in the atmosphere. To this time, most of the early oxygen produced is locked in the red bed and banded rock. About 1 billion years ago these rocks became saturated and free oxygen started accumulating in the atmosphere. Once oxygen was present in the atmosphere, UV light broke the molecules to form
