Which of these describes a situation where natural selection could lead to evolution?

Biology

Gennadij [26K]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

B. Predation removes slower antelope from the herd.

Explanation:

Natural selection is defined as the differential survival and reproduction of individuals due to differences in the physical characteristics.

A predator-prey relationship results in a very fast-slow dynamical system for rapid predator evolution.

Predation removes slower antelope from the herd and hinders passage of the slow trait to offsprings. The ones who are fast reproduce and give birth to other fast animals.

How does carbon not get lost when it moves through the carbon cycle
Greeley [361]

Answer:

Carbon is the chemical backbone of life on Earth. Carbon compounds regulate the Earth’s temperature, make up the food that sustains us, and provide energy that fuels our global economy. Carbon moves from one storage reservoir to another through a variety of mechanisms. For example, in the food chain, plants move carbon from the atmosphere into the biosphere through photosynthesis. They use energy from the sun to chemically combine carbon dioxide with hydrogen and oxygen from water to create sugar molecules. Animals that eat plants digest the sugar molecules to get energy for their bodies. Respiration, excretion, and decomposition release the carbon back into the atmosphere or soil, continuing the cycle. The ocean plays a critical role in carbon storage, as it holds about 50 times more carbon than the atmosphere. Two-way carbon exchange can occur quickly between the ocean’s surface waters and the atmosphere, but carbon may be stored for centuries at the deepest ocean depths. Rocks like limestone and fossil fuels like coal and oil are storage reservoirs that contain carbon from plants and animals that lived millions of years ago. When these organisms died, slow geologic processes trapped their carbon and transformed it into these natural resources. Processes such as erosion release this carbon back into the atmosphere very slowly, while volcanic activity can release it very quickly. Burning fossil fuels in cars or power plants is another way this carbon can be released into the atmospheric reservoir quickly.Human activities have a tremendous impact on the carbon cycle. Burning fossil fuels, changing land use, and using limestone to make concrete all transfer significant quantities of carbon into the atmosphere. As a result, the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is rapidly rising; it is already considerably greater than at any time in the last 800,000 years.  The ocean absorbs much of the carbon dioxide that is released from burning fossil fuels. This extra carbon dioxide is lowering the ocean’s pH, through a  process called ocean acidification. Ocean acidification interferes with the ability of marine organisms (including corals, Dungeness crabs, and snails) to build their shells and skeletons.

When a person breathes, the nose and mouth take in oxygen-rich air, and they expel oxygen-poor air. Which statement explains the
kkurt [141]

Answer:

the oxygen concentration decreases only when the air reaches the alveoli, which are the terminal branches of the respiratory system

Explanation:

The human respiratory system is responsible for taking in oxygen-rich air, and they expelling oxygen-poor air. The respiratory system consists of lungs, which helps in the exchange of gases: Oxygen and carbon dioxide.

The statement ''the oxygen concentration decreases only when the air reaches the alveoli, which are the terminal branches of the respiratory system'' explains the change in oxygen concentration of the inspired air
