Fist thing is that question that help u on ur H.W

chickens can fly, although even wild chickens are not very good flyers. They don't need to be: they are ground living birds and will only fly short distances to escape predators or get up into trees to roost.

Chickens are capable of flight, however their domestication doesn't require it of them. After hundreds of years of being cultivated by humans, chickens have evolved to be less competent at flying than other birds. Chickens are ground feeders, which means they eat grubs and small plants. Since they do not need to hunt down prey like a hawk, they also do not need the wing strength to fly like one. Chickens are able to fly enough to access trees when they need to escape from predators.

What type of energy is coming into the food web?

Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:

The vast majority of energy that exists in food webs originates from the sun and is converted (transformed) into chemical energy by the process of photosynthesis in plants. A small proportion of this chemical energy is transformed directly into heat when compounds are broken down during respiration in plants.

The number of organisms in a food pyramid decrease as the tropical level

Aleonysh [2.5K]

You need to recognize that the higher on the food chain, the fewer the number of organisms that occupy that level. This is because of the energy that is available from one level to the next has to decrease since it is used for life's processes.

Lactose when digested, it is hydrolyzed by lactase into its monomers, which are then absorbed by blood. Following are test resul

kap26 [50]

Answer: Based on the information, the person DOES NOT have lactose intolerance because glucose levels significantly increases in normal individuals after a lactose rich meal.

Explanation:

Lactose is a disaccharide carbohydrate which when taken (found mostly in diary products) is hydrolyzed by lactase into its monomers, which are then absorbed into the blood. The hydrolysis of lactose gives glucose and galactose which is carried out by the digestive enzyme lactase. Deficiency of the lactase enzyme gives rise to a disorder known as LACTOSE INTOLERANCE.

The diagnosis of lactose intolerance or lactase deficiency can be confirmed by measuring the plasma glucose concentrations, as in glucose tolerance test, after giving an oral load of lactose rich solution. If the disaccharide (lactose) cannot be hydrolysed, the constituent monosaccharides cannot be absorbed and the concentrations of plasma glucose rise VERY little.

But the fasting blood glucose done after 2 hours of drinking a lactose rich solution showed a typical rise in blood glucose levels which were 80, 90, 100, 110 and 120 mg/ dL tested for every 30 minutes. This indicates that the individual does not have lactose intolerance because the glucose gotten from hydrolysed lactose was absorbed and cause a significant rise in blood levels.

Name two ways in which animal behavior is related to environmental cycles

antoniya [11.8K]

If an inherited behavior allows an animal to survive and reproduce, the behavior can spread ... Many animals respond to the cycles in the environment with daily or seasonal cycles of behavior. Hope that helps
