Structures that have similar structure and function but different evolutionary origins are called?

It is either homologous structures or homozygous structures. Embryological structures are when different species of animals look similar in the earliest stage of development and Analogous structures are when animals look different but their function is basically the same. So just look up homologous structures and homozygous structures in your Bio book!!


What is the difference between homologous structures and analogous structures?

Homologous = same origin, different function (arms vs. wings) Analogous = same function, different origin (panda thumb)


How are analogous and homologous structures different?

They are different because homologous structures have the same structure, but serve a different function. Like mammal arms(human, bat and whales). Analogous structues are different structures, but serve the same function. For example, bat wings and butterfly wings.


Developmental similarities among very different animals can be attributed to?

Evolution causes certain things to appear in different animals when used for the same function. These are called analogous structures.


Define homologous structures?

homologous structures is same structure,different function


What are solids with the same chemical composition but different structures are called?

These compounds are called isomers.


What are Enzymes that catalyze the same reactions in different tissues and have slightly different structures called?

isoenzymes


What are simple sugars that have the same formula but different chemical structures called?

Isomers


Can two monosaccharides have the same formula yet have different structures?

yes they can it is known as isomerism and isomerism is two molecules can have the same formula but completely different structures


Is Enzyme have same function called as?

Enzymes have the same function as catalysts. Except, the mode of action is markedly different.


What are compounds with the same simple formula but different 3-dimensional structures called?

Isomer's


Distinguish between homologous structures and analogous structures?

Homologous structures have the internal structure, but different functions. For example the human arm, horse foreleg, bird wing, and whale flipper have similar internal skeletal structure, but different external structure because of their different functions. Analogous structures have similar external structure because of similar functions, but dissimilar internal structure. An example of analogous structures would be the wings of an insect and a bird.
