Answer:
Hydrogen bonds make water molecules spread out when they freeze. This makes ice less dense than water and allows ice to float. If ice did not float then oceans and lakes would freeze from the bottom up, killing marine life by trapping organisms in the ice. When ice floats, it insulates the water below, keeping it at around 4 degrees C or 40F, which does not freeze and allows fish to survive the winter.
Explanation:
Natural selection is nature’s way of keeping the best fit-to-live things alive, and so on continue to the next generations.
For example, if a rabbit has a limp, it is bound to be out run and eaten by a predator relatively early in its life (unless it is extremely lucky.) Because of this, it is unable to reproduce, and there genes that it contained to have its limp are unable to spread through inheritance. Natural selection goes both ways. For example, if a hawk has very god vision, it will be able to scope out its prey easily, so it will thrive. Therefore, when it produces offspring of its own, its trait of good eyesight will pass on to its offspring.
So, as enough time goes on, the bad traits will be weeded out and the good ones will remain.
According to an answer from another and a bit of my own research;
A decomposer is exactly what it sounds like, an organism that decomposes something and feeds off of it. You can eliminate the answers "Owl" and "Hawk" from a first glance as they are both consumers. Looking at it again, an "Ant" is <em>not </em>a decomposer, but rather, a consumer just like your other two options. This leaves "Fungus", something that decomposes it's food.
Please forgive me if I'm wrong. Feel free to ask for more information and I will scour the internet to see what I can find. <3
