The size of the proboscis helps the moth to consume the food (nectar) easily from Darwin's orchid.

<h3>What do you mean by Adaptation?</h3>

Adaptation may be defined as the process of modifying one's characteristics to better suit a situation and survive more efficiently.

The size of the tube that produces nectar is just 27.9cm long, while the length of the proboscis of a moth is 30.5cm. It easily consumes the nectar and gets energy for survival as well as reproduction.

Therefore, the size of the proboscis helps the moth to consume the food (nectar) easily from Darwin's orchid.

Using the data from the paraquat experiment, explain how you know that paraquat did not cause the coral bleaching.​​​​​​​
maxonik [38]

Answer:

paraquat is a herbicide.

Explanation:

Paraquat did not cause the coral bleaching because paraquat is a herbicide which is used to kill weeds not algae. We know that coral have small algae attached to its body which is responsible for its colour so if we apply paraquat, it does not kill the algae and so coral bleaching did not occur. if we apply another chemical which kills algae so it causes coral bleaching and the coral becomes white.
