Cells use a molecule called to store and release energy like a battery. the energy is stored in chemical bonds between groups of the molecule, and the energy is released when the chemical bonds are broken.

Acladogram is a branching diagram that represents suggested evolutionary relationships among organisms based on the presence of unique traits. a scientist discovers a new organism that lacks limbs and does not have a true backbone. the organism lays eggs to produce offspring and has a cartilage-like rod known as a notochord running along its dorsal surface. on the cladogram below, select the species to which the newly discovered organism is most closely related.

~~16. while watching a special on animals, brianna discovers that hares tend to lose heat through their ears. based on this and what is known about surface-to-volume ratios, propose an explanation as to why hares that live in hot climates (such as the desert) have large, extended ears

Researchers determine that the biodiversity in a woodland region is declining. they identify two major threats to the region's biodiversity, a method to address each threat, and the expected outcome of each method. this information is shown in the table. threat method number of species that benefit number of years to see benefit habitat fragmentation reforestation 450 8 introduced prey species biological augmentation 150 2 which statement is an accurate explanation of the information in the table? a. biological augmentation would benefit only a few species because it is typically not very effective. b. biological augmentation would take less time to be effective because it targets the majority of prey species. c. reforestation would take the longest time to be effective because trees take several years to grow. d. reforestation would not benefit many species because most forest species live on the ground.
