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.

iogann1982 [59]

Answer:

The correct answer is option d) "head-on".

Explanation:

In hunting, the head-on angle refers to a position at which the hunter and the prey are face to face. This shot angle rarely results in a clean kill, ruins a lot of meat, and provides an animal the best opportunity to detect the hunter as the animal is in front of the hunter. At the head-on angle it is harder for the hunter to kill an animal with the first shot and ruins a lot of meat because the animal produces hormones such as adrenaline result of the stress.

B. putting more red blood cells into circulation when atmospheric oxygen levels decline.

<h3>What are stomata?</h3>

The stomata are apertures in the epidermis, each bounded by two guard cells. There are small openings on the lower surface of the leaves. These pores are called stomata. Loss of water from the stomata creates an upward pull, that is suction pull, which helps in the absorption of water from the roots. That is helpful for the transpiration process. They help in exchange for gases. Any of the tiny pores or openings in the epidermis of leaves and young stems are referred to as a stomate, sometimes known as a stoma, the plural of which is stoma or stomas. On the underside of the leaves, stomata tend to be more numerous. They enable the exchange of gases between the atmosphere outside and the leaf's branching network of interconnected air canals.
