Answer:

The correct answer is "No, this is not consistent with the predictions on optimality".

Explanation:

The optimal foraging theory (OFT) establishes that an organism looks for the best foraging strategy, which involves maximizing the amount of energy that is available in its daily activities. In this case, the songbird species is not consistent with the predictions on optimality since it needs more calories than it intakes in order to defend its territory. In this scenario, the songbird will lose 72 calories per day.

In plant cell what does the vacuole do

"In plant cells, the vacuoles are much larger than in animal cells. When a plant cell has stopped growing, there is usually one very large vacuole. Sometimes that vacuole can take up more than half of the cell's volume. The vacuole holds large amounts of water or food."</span>

Because the walls of veins have ______ compliance, they can accommodate a relatively ______ volume of blood with a relatively __
slava [35]

Because the walls of veins have high compliance, they can accommodate a relatively large volume of blood with a relatively small increase in internal pressure.

<h3>What are veins?</h3>

Veins are specific blood vessels of the circulatory system that transport deoxygenated blood to the hearth.

Vein blood vessels have high compliance to increase the volume of blood cells that can be transported.

During this process, the internal pressure of the walls in the vein blood vessel is minimized.
