Both convergent and divergent evolution involve the process of species adapting to their environments over time through natural selection. Convergent evolution results in different species developing similar traits independently in response to similar environmental pressures, while divergent evolution leads to the development of distinct traits in related species due to different environmental pressures.

How are human skin cells plant and animal cells alike?

Human skin cells, plant cells, and animal cells are all eukaryotic cells, meaning they have a defined nucleus and organelles. They are also capable of carrying out cellular functions such as energy production, growth, and reproduction. However, plant cells have cell walls composed of cellulose and contain chloroplasts for photosynthesis, while animal cells lack these structures.


Can two different species occupy the same ecological niche indefinitely?

Not indefinitely. The key to occupying the same niche is resource availability. When two different organisms use the same resource in a simliar way, they can coexist without any problem if population density is low. When more individuals are present and occupy the same niche, competition takes over and whichever organism is the most efficient at obtaining the common resource will outcompete others.


Advantage of asexual reproduction?

One advantage of asexual reproduction is that it allows for rapid reproduction without the need for a mate, resulting in increased population growth. Additionally, there is no genetic recombination, so offspring are genetically identical to the parent, ensuring that favorable traits are passed down consistently.


What do cells do with ATP?

For photosynthesis , they have an electron transport system, giving energy to each molecule, to pump the hydrogen ions across the membrane of the cholophyll, and so creates a hydrogen ion gradient. Later, throught the process of chemiosmosis, the hydrogen ions go back through specific ATP synthase channels, and combine with ADP and an inorganic phosphate, to produce ATP. It's similar with cellular respiration to, though it is in the inner membrane of the mitochondria, which goes into the matrix of the mitochondria. The two are pretty simliar, though in mitochondria, 32-34 ATP molecules are produced, a lot more than photosynthesis, because ATP for photosynthesis drives the light-independent reactions for glucose.
