Question

Two species, a cactus and a Venus fly-trap, have a water intake system that's similar in function but not in structure. What type of structure is this?

Answer 1

1. homologous structure

2. analogous structure

3. natural selection

4. This is known as an analogous structure.

5. To make this determination, you need to think about if the features are the same in function or also in structure. Features that have a closely related structure and function are likely to be related.

6. To learn more about why your friend is in the hospital, you should research vestigial structures.

7. These two beetles aren't closely related, but they look and behave similarly. This is because they live in the same environmental conditions and likely share a common ancestor that lived in Gondwana (the supercontinent that included the southern continents before they split apart through plate tectonics).

8. Australia has so many genetically distinct organisms because it has been separated from other bodies of land by water for a very long time. This has created an opportunity for long-term independence of other geographic areas.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

The Structure of the two species are the cactus have shallow root system and Venus fly traps are grown in indoors.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Venus fly trap is very small in size whereas the cactus can grow to 50 feet tall and weighs up to 7 tones.

The cactus can store water from its unique design in which its skin can expand to make large amounts of water. In fly traps there are leaves on the body called "Traps" they are used to catch insects and prey. the another difference between the two species is cactus does not have leaves.

The Venus flytraps do not have brains instead they have hormone associated with the feeding process.
