Phylogeny is the evolutionary history of related groups of organisms. organisms are grouped into taxa based on homologous characteristics, shared traits that result from common ancestry. which statement is true? a. the term 'monophyletic' refers to a taxon that includes an ancestral species and all of its descendants. b. homologous structures look the same and serve the same function, but they differ in evolutionary origin and structure. c. ancestral traits are always simpler than derived traits.

Interpret the model. a three-part model with black right-arrows between the parts. left part: a large green apple-shaped component with a w-shaped indentation centered on top. a small blue apple-slice shape sits above the left indentation and an arrow points from the shape to the indentation. a small purple apple-slice shape and arrow sit above the right indentation and an arrow points from the shape to the indentation. middle part: a large green apple-shaped component with a square indentation centered on top. sitting in the left side of the indentation is a blue apple-slice shape with a flat bottom, fused to a purple apple-slice shape with a flat bottom on the right side of the indentation. right part: a large green apple-shaped component with a w-shaped indentation centered on top. an up-arrow is centered above the indentation pointing to a fused blue and purple apple-slice-shaped flat-bottom component sitting above the indentation. assigne "true" or "false" to the end of each statement. the model shows a shape change occurring in the enzyme after the substrate is bound in the active site. t/fthere are two products in this model. t? f there are three substrates in this model. t/f the model shows two different enzymes. t/f

Which of the following is the best definition for the process of photosynthesis? a.) plants digest sugars to make energy. b.) plants use oxygen and glucose to make carbon dioxide. c.) plants use sunlight and carbon dioxide to make sugars. d.) plants use sunlight to make chlorophyll and chloroplasts.
