lubasha [3.4K]

Answer:

For example, if the seeds that the bird needs to eat is bigger, over time it will adapt to get a bigger beak to eat the bigger seed. The birds that have adapted reproduce and soon more and more birds that have a bigger beak for the bigger seed are more common. If the type of food available changes than the bird will most likely adapt to eat that food.

N which vertebrates did feathers first evolve?
Lapatulllka [165]
<span>Wings have evolved several times independently. In flying fish, the wings are formed by the enlargement of the pectoral fins. Some fish leap out of the water and glide through the air, both to save energy and to escape predators. If they were already gliding, then any mutation that would result in an increase of the gliding surface would be advantageous to the fish that has it. These advantageous may allow these fish to out-compete the others. 

Wings have also evolved in bats, pterosaurs, and birds. In these animals, the wings are formed by the forelimbs. In some lizards that have evolved gliding flight, however, the "wings" or gliding surfaces may be quite different. The lizard Draco, for example, has gliding surfaces formed by an extension of the ribs. A number of extinct reptiles have similar gliding surfaces. Frogs that glide have expanded webbing on their hands and feet. Gliding ("flying") squirrels and marsupial sugar gliders have flaps of skin that lie between the front and rear limbs. These gliding animals all have one thing in common: a gliding surface that is formed by enlarging some parts of the body. 

In pterosaurs, the wing is formed by an elongated finger and a large skin membrane attached to this finger. In bats, the wing is formed by the entire hand, with skin membranes connecting the elongated fingers. In birds, flight feathers are attached to the entire forelimb, while the fingers have fused together. In all of these animals except birds, the wing is a solid structure. In birds, however, the wing is formed by a large number of individual feathers lying close to each other and each feather is in turn formed by filaments that interlock. 

Biophysicists have determined that flight most likely evolved from the tree down. That means most active flyers evolved flight from an animal that was already gliding. Gliding was therefore probably an indispensable intermediate stage in the evolution of flight. Since gliding has evolved in so many different groups of animals, it follows that the ancestors of birds, bats, and pterosaurs were almost certainly gliders. 

Unfortunately, the fossil records of the immediate gliding ancestors of birds, bats, and pterosaurs are all missing. The first known bat and bird fossils are recognizable as flyers. The same is true of pterosaurs. Therefore the origin of these flyers remain a mystery and a subject of often acrimonious debate. There are people who claim that dinosaurs evolved insulation, which then evolved into feathers, but the evidence for that is lacking. The so-called proto-feathers found on some dinosaurs are indistinguishable from the collagen fibers found in the skin of most vertebrates. Some of the supposedly feathered dinosaurs, such as Caudipteryx and Protarchaeopteryx, are actually flightless birds. The same is probably true of Microraptor fossils, which are (as Alan Feduccia says) probably "avian non-dinosaurs." 

Even though the immediate ancestor of birds remains a mystery, there is a fossil known as Longisquama insignis, which lived during the late Triassic. It has featherlike structures on its back. It was probably a glider of some sort. So, this animal may well be the distant ancestor of Archaeopteryx, the oldest known bird. 

In sum, flying almost certainly evolved from animals that were already gliding, or from the tree down, not from the ground up. The dinosaurian origin of birds requires that dinosaurs evolved feathers from insulation and flight to have evolved from the ground up. Both of these requirements are extremely unlikely to have occurred in evolutionary history, because dinosaurs are almost certainly ectothermic (or "cold-blooded") and therefore they never evolved insulation, and because feathers are too unnecessarily complex to have evolved as insulation. Flight from the ground up is also dangerous because large animals that attempt to fly from the ground may crash and seriously injure or even kill themselves. We all know how dangerous an airplane can be if it loses power and crashes. Small and light weight animals, OTOH, that were already gliding can survive if their attempt to fly fails. Finally, if flight evolved from gliding, then why do animals glide? The answer is that gliding is energetically much cheaper than to descend a tree, walk along the ground, and then climb up another tree. Besides, it is almost certainly much safer to glide from one tree to another than to be walking on the ground for many arboreal animals. 

See link below for details of why dinosaurs are considered ectothermic according to the available scientific evidence.</span>Source(s):<span>http://discovermagazine.com/1996/dec/aco...</span>

Alguien me podra ayudar en estas preguntas pls
Elodia [21]

Answer:

2. Si, porque de otra manera se producirían daños el medioambiente, deforestación, y degradación del suelo, el cual es un recurso no renovable.

3. Algunos ejemplos: Rotación de cultivos, mulching, abonos orgánicos o naturales, asociaciones de cultivos.

4. Si, porque no dañan el suelo.

6. La problemática se basa en un mal uso de los recursos hídricos, la falta de riego en los cultivos.

8. Si, porque como se mencionó anteriormente, un uso indiscriminado de químicos daña al medio ambiente.

<u />

Explanation:

La agricultura consiste en la práctica de cultivar plantas y criar ganado. Dicha técnica fue clave para el desarrollo de la civilización humana mediante la cual la cría de especies domesticadas y recolección de cultivos creó alimentos que permitieron a la gente vivir en ciudades. En el siglo XX, la agricultura industrial basada en el monocultivo a gran escala llegó a dominar la producción agrícola. En la agronomía moderna, el fitomejoramiento, el uso de los productos agroquímicos como los pesticidas y fertilizantes, y los desarrollos tecnológicos han aumentado considerablemente el rendimiento de las cosechas, al tiempo que han provocado daños ecológicos y medioambientales generalizados. Las prácticas modernas de cría de animales han aumentado la producción de carne, pero han suscitado preocupación por el bienestar de los animales y los daños medioambientales. <u>Los problemas medioambientales incluyen la contribución al calentamiento global, el agotamiento de los acuíferos, la deforestación, la resistencia a los antibióticos y el uso de hormonas de crecimiento en la producción industrial de carne</u>. Ejemplos de esta degradación del medio ambiente incluyen a la pérdida de biodiversidad, la desertificación, la degradación del suelo y el calentamiento global, que  a su vez provocan la disminución del rendimiento de las cosechas.

2. Si, porque de otra manera se producirían daños el medioambiente, deforestación, y degradación del suelo, el cual es un recurso no renovable. El uso sostenible del suelo permite conservarlo como recurso a largo plazo sin que se produzca su deterioramiento. Al no hacer uso sostenible del suelo, se pone el peligro la agricultura y a su vez la producción de alimentos. Hay que considerar que el suelo es un componente y recurso importante, un reservorio de gran parte de la biodiversidad del planeta. La vida de la flora y fauna depende del buen estado del suelo y nos resulta útil para la obtención de materia prima, siendo el área productiva del mismo limitada y bajo amenaza por los usos intensivos necesarios para satisfacer las demandas actuales. La gestión sostenible de los recursos del suelo contribuye eficazmente a prevenir el cambio climático.

3. Algunos ejemplos:

  • Rotación de cultivos: Consiste en la siembra sucesiva de distintos cultivos en un mismo terreno, a diferencia del monocultivo que se basa en la siembra repetida en el mismo campo. La rotación sirve para reducir la incidencia de plagas ya que se altera el ciclo de vida de los mismos, para controlar malas hierbas, para una distribución mas adecuada de nutrientes, etc.
  • Mulching: Consiste en un método de corte en el cual la máquina cortacésped corta, se tritura, y se deja caer al suelo para que sirva como abono natural.
  • Abonos orgánicos o naturales: Por ejemplo, estiércoles, compostas o residuos de cultivos. Permiten recuperar materia orgánica para la fijación de carbono, aumentan la actividad microbiana, favorece retención y uso de nutrientes y mejora la absorción de agua.
  • Asociaciones de cultivos: Consiste en la siembra de dos o más especies próximas entre sí para que puedan beneficiarse la una de la otra.

4. Si, porque no dañan el suelo, no se utilizan compuestos artificiales o contaminantes y permite un crecimiento de la vegetación de forma mas natural, sin agotar sus recursos.

6. La problemática se basa en un mal uso de los recursos hídricos, la falta de riego en los cultivos. El riego consiste en brindarle agua a los cultivos para satisfacer sus necesidades hídricas que no fueron cubiertos mediante las lluvias, entonces es necesario capacitar a los agricultores para el correcto mantenimiento de los cultivos en cuanto a la proporción de agua que se les debe brindar.

8. <u>Si, porque como se mencionó anteriormente, un uso indiscriminado de químicos daña al medio ambiente.</u> Como así también disminuye la calidad de la fruta, afectando su sabor y sus nutrientes.

La mosca de la fruta es un insecto que produce un daño al picar el fruto, así las hembras realizan la ovoposición generando una vía de  entrada de hongos y bacterias que descomponen la pulpa de la fruta. Esto hace que se produzca una maduración precoz y caída del fruto, y la consiguiente pérdida de cosecha. Es necesario controlar esto pero de manera responsable.
