The percentages of naturally occurring elements making up the human body are similar to the percentages of these elements found in other types of organisms. This could be accounted for because we evolved in the same environment, from the same elements.

∙ 10y agoIt all goes back to that true idea that we all have evolved from those similar to us. We all began (plants and animals and bacteria) from closely related species.

Why would this form of behavior most likely be naturally selected?
Organisms that have behaviors that encourage reproduction would be more likely to reproduce.
Are organic catalysts called polysaccharides?
No, polysaccharides are a kind of sugars with much higher molecular mass and composed of monomers.The organic catalysts are catalysts that posses organic nature (They are carbon's compounds).The most common organic catalysts are the enzymes (which are proteins in fact) found in the living organisms.
The traits of organisms in a population naturally change over time what is the source of the variation?
the trait that often changes after time is the size of the organism. It usually will get larger after a period of time.
What are transegenic animals?
Transgenic animals are animals that have had genes from other organisms inserted into their DNA. This can occur naturally or be done artificially in a lab. The term transgenic organisms usually refers to those which have been modified artificially by humans.
What does glycine mean?
It is an amino acid, one of the building blocks of proteins. Also can play a role of osmoprotectant, helping organisms to withstand osmotic stress.
Are all naturally-occurring elements are essential to living organisms?
No , only 2 dozen are present in organisms .
Taking advantage of naturally occurring variations in organisms to pass wanted traits on to future generations is called?
Selective Breeding
Did viruses originate naturally or are they a hybrid?
Both. Viruses are naturally occurring organisms that have been around "forever". They have the ability to mutate or change themselves into new shapes and types sometimes using genetic material from more than one kind of virus, which would make them naturally occurring hybrids. They were not man-made.
New species of organisms may emerge if?
naturally occurring selective pressures favor new traits, humans create new environmental conditions
What products are produced through fermentation by naturally occurring organisms?
Fermentation can either produce Ethyl Alcohol or Lactic Acid, it just depends on what organism you are talking about
Which element is not mostly found in living systems carbon zinc or nitrogen?
Most of the known naturally occurring zinc is not found in living organisms, but rather in minerals.
What is the primary source for organisms?
The primary energy source for most living systems is nutrients. Nutrients are elements and compounds that organisms consume and require for survival. Organisms need several dozen naturally occurring chemical elements to survive; among these are nitrogen, carbon, and phosphorus.
What are the uses of Alkaloids?
Alkaloids are naturally occurring chemical compounds formed from basic nitrogen atoms. Alkaloids are produced by a large variety of organisms that include plants, fungi and bacteria.
How do you reduce soil acidity with naturally occurring minerals?
Calcium hydroxide Ca(OH)2 (called slaked lime)Added:Even more 'naturally occurring' is Calcium carbonate, CaCO3 , which is the main component of shells of marine organisms, snails and eggshells. Calcium carbonate (commonly called limestone) is the active ingredient in agricultural lime as 'anti-acid'.
What did Linnaeus classified organisms based on similarities on their?
Linnaeus classified organisms based on their morphological similarity.
Are all naturally-occurring elements essential to living organisms?
* no,because theyre are just seven elements
An example of Biochemical similarity between two different organisms?
