Answer:

B.) Over million of years, the eyes of cave salamanders lose their function is an example of adaptation  

Explanation:

Adaptation is an evolutionary process. Under this process an animal or plant evolves to become suitable to  live in a particular habitat. The organism undergoes many changes through natural selection, such changes takes place over generations. Although scientists were discussing adaptation before 1800s, it came to limelight only after the development of theory of natural selection by Alfred Russel and Charles Darwin.

Adaption can be of three types: Behavioral, Physiological and Structural

  • Structural: changes in their body parts to better suit their environment. It is visible from outside e.g Desert foxes have long ears to radiate heat.  
  • Physiological: These are the changes in the functioning of th organisms body organ, it is no visible from outside.  
  • Behavioral: It includes changes in the behavior as per the need of the environment.  Ex. Migration of birds to warmer winter climates and hibernation of beer to escape cold.

5. Which of the following is an example of active transport?
Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

D (proteins moving ions from low to high concentration across a cell membrane)

Explanation:

Active transport, by definition, is a type of substance transport that requires energy (typically in the form of ATP). Having said that, we can immediately eliminate B (aka water diffusion throughout the cytoplasm of a cell), as diffusion (osmosis in this case) does not require any expenditure/spending of energy. Next, we can cancel A and C because although they do require energy, there is no transport involved. Thus that leaves us with D. D is not only the answer because of the process of elimination but also b/c the ans. choice says that ions are being moved from low to high concentration, which is against the concentration gradient and thus requires energy. Hope you found this helpful! :)
