In the conifer forest just below the alpine zone of a mountain top, two closely related species of birds that feed on small flying insects have been living together for millions of years. A local naturalist notices that the beak sizes differ on the two birds. The species that eats mosquitoes has a small delicate beak, and the species that eats robber flies (bigger than mosquitoes) has a very large beak. By accident, the naturalist stumbles upon a fossilized bird on the mountain that looks like it could be the ancestor of both species except its beak is neither small nor large, but intermediate in size. What principle could be at work in shaping the beaks of these birds? a. competition b. ecological niche development c. coevolution d. character displacement e. all of the above
Answer: d. character displacement
Explanation:
Character Displacement this is an evolutionary divergence which usually occurs when two similar species inhabit the same environment. This circumstance occurs where differences among similar species whose circulation in an environment overlap geographically are feature in regions where the species co-occur, but tend to be minimized or lost where the species' circulations do not overlap. Which is same case as that of the birds.

Which is the best example of a response to an external stimulus
Explanation:
2 Another example of external stimulus is temperature. When it is cold outside, your response is to get warm by putting on a jacket. If there is an external stimulus, there must also be an internal. An internal stimulus is a stimulus that comes from inside an organism.
g What basic characteristics do we generally expect to find in all things that qualify as being alive? Question 1 options: 1) an ability to: reason, make polymers and repair damage. 2) an ability to: reproduce, respond to stimuli and repair damage. 3) an ability to: avoid pain, move from one place to another and evolve. 4) an ability to: capture energy from sun light, move from one place to another and reshape its environment. 5) an ability to be more ordered than their surroundings, respond to stimuli, and capture energy from sunlight.
Answer:
Number 2: an ability to: reproduce, respond to stimuli and repair damage.
Explanation:
Some basic characteristics of all living things in general which they all have in common include:
The ability to reproduce (reproduction). All living things reproduce...
Ability to respond to stimuli (irritability)
Ability to repair damage: this is involved with cells in the organisms and to stay alive all organismsin general areade up of cells which has the ability to be repaired if damaged.
Which of the following statements about oxidative phosphorylation by ATP synthase is FALSE? A) The electrochemical gradient across the inner mitochondrial membrane generated by electron flow is used to synthesize ATP. B) Uncouplers dissipate the electrochemical gradient but electron transport continues without ATP production. C) Inhibitors disrupt electron flow as well as ATP synthesis. D) A proton gradient alone without a corresponding energy input is not sufficient to drive the synthesis of ATP. E) ATP synthesis occurs via simultaneous conformational changes in protein subunits containing catalytic sites.
Answer
D)A proton gradient alone without a corresponding energy input is not sufficient to drive the synthesis of ATP
Explanation:
Oxidative phosphorylation reffers to metabolic pathway whereby enzyme is used by the cell to achieve nutrient oxidation, so that chemical energy of molecular oxygen is released as a result of this, adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is manufactured. oxidative phosphorylation is seen in all organisms that are aerobic in nature and it occur in the mitochondria of all eukaryotic organisms. There is electron transfer during oxidative phosphorylation, the electrons moves from the donor to the receptor and this is known as redox reaction, as a result of this energy is released, and this energy is used for formation of ATP.
Therefore,among all the options, A proton gradient alone without a corresponding energy input is not sufficient to drive the synthesis of ATP is the false statement.

75 POINTS!!! One reason male peacocks spread their tail feathers is to attract a mate. How does choosing a male with a bright, full tail increase a peahen’s chance of producing healthy peachicks?
Answer:
They have greater health conditions
Explanation:
if they are bright, they are healthy
Answer:
Typically, if a peacock has a bright tail with many feathers and eyespots, a female will choose him. These tail features indicate that the peacock may be healthier than other males and, therefore, produce healthier peachicks.

category.
desertification
Positive Impacts
Negative impacts
reforestation
laws and regulation
habitat restoration
erosion
urbanization
deforestation
Answer:
desertification - negative impacts
Reforestation - positive impacts
laws and regulation - positive/negative impacts
habitat restoration - positive impacts
erosion - negative impacts
Urbanization - negative impacts
deforestation - negative impacts
Explanation:
Desertification is a process in which productive lands become a dry, unproductive one as a result of humans or natural activities such as drought, deforestation, etc. It impacts land resources negatively in that land generally becomes unproductive and unsupportive to other lives.
Reforestation is a process of artificially creating forest where one has been removed or where none existed before. It involves the planting of trees and leads to the creation of new land resources such as habitats, water sheds, etc.
Laws and regulations can impact land resources either positively or negatively depending on the type of laws. Laws that promote land conservation positively impact land resources while those that promote the wanton use of lands negative impact land resources.
Habitat restoration refers to activities geared towards restoring habitats of organisms that have been degraded by human or natural activities. Habitat restoration positively impacts land resources as natural processes are directly impacted positively.
Erosion involves the removal of topmost layer of soils by running water or wind. It negatively impacts land resources by rendering land unproductive impacting the protective nature of soil on other resources such as watershed, etc.
Urbanization refers to the process of actively developing an area vis a vis the construction of more buildings and other infrastructures to make a place more urban. Land resources are negatively impacted in the process as most often requires the conversion of lands to non-forested uses.
Deforestation is the removal of forest layers for non-forest uses. It negatively impacts land resources such as habitat removal, lower biological diversity, protection of water sheds etc.

Insulin is a hormone that travels through the blood and helps regulate blood sugar levels. Which best describes how insulin travels in the blood?
in the plasma
in the platelets
attached to the white blood cells
attached to the red blood cells
Answer:
A:in the plasma
Explanation:
Insulin regulates blood sugar levels and it travels in the plasma. Therefore option A is correct.
What is insulin?Insulin is a hormone that is released by β-cells of the pancreas. It controls the amount of glucose in our bodies. It converts glucose into glycogen and then this glycogen is stored in the liver, and whenever the glucose level reduces in the blood, then this stored glycogen is converted into glucose. It also helps in breaking fat and protein for energy.
Insulin is a very important hormone for the regulation of glucose in the blood. A deficiency of insulin occurs when the immune system attacks islets and it causes diabetes, in this disease blood sugar level increases
.
Insulin flows in the blood through plasma. Therefore, option A is correct.

3. Which of the following are NOT types of microorganisms?
a. Prions
b. Viruses
c. Bacteria
d. Earthworms
Answer:
d. Earthworms
Explanation:
Think about it: have you ever actually seen a prion, virus, or bacterium? No, because they can't be seen with the naked eye. Microorganism means that it's too small (hence the prefix micro-) to see.
Prions are little misfolded proteins. Viruses are nonliving things made up of a protein and nucleic acid. Bacteria are little prokaryotic microorganisms.A lot of echinoderms are named after flowers true or false
Answer:
False, it is only represented by one class: Crinoidea (sea lilies).
Explanation:
Echinoderms (phylum Echinodermata) are marine organisms that comprises more than 6,000 species. These animals are deuterostomes that are differentiated to have an ambulacral vascular system and a pentameric symmetry. Echinoderms are divided in the following classes: 1- Ophiuroidea (snake stars), 2-Asteroidea (sea stars), 3-Crinoidea (sea lilies), 4-Holothuroidea (sea cucumbers) and 5-Echinoidea (sea urchins), which can be easily distinguished by anatomical and ecological characteristics.

OB
can be used immediately or stored for later use.
C.
can cause the plant to gain excess layers of fat.
OD

Answer:
B:because plant will make the food,store it,or eat it.usually the plant will stored the food for the winter,because of the soil being frozen and barely any sunlight,it will make it hard for the plant to make more food during photosynthesis,sometimes the plants will die but come back when it is springtime.Once food is made it is used or saved for later use for energy.
Answer:
can be used immediately or stored for later use.
Explanation:
Energy generated through photosynthesis can be used immediately or stored for later use depending on the needs of the plant in its environment.
Sometimes, a plant needs to immediately put this energy into growing new branches or leaves. Other times, such as when a cold winter is approaching, it might be better for the plant to store the energy for later use
