The possibility for all of the mentioned birds to live all in a same area is because they are all specialized and occupy a certain niche in the food chain, thus not standing in each others ways when it comes to competition for food.

All of these birds have adapted to be able to survive in their respective environment, developing characteristics that will enable them to be superior in something. Through natural selection, the individuals that were performing better, got the chance to mate, thus the offspring was better adapted and stronger in its niche of the food chain.

The robins and the blue jays are birds that are very opportunistic in their food choice, thus giving them greater flexibility and ability to survive, they mostly feed on worms, insects, fruits, vegetables, so they have a big menu.

The finches are specialized in eating nuts and seeds, thus avoiding the competition with the previous two, thus having that food type for themselves.

The owls and hawks are both birds of pray, but the owls hunt mostly at night, while the eagles during the day. Also, the owls prefer to have rodents as their pray, while the hawks are mostly eating other birds, thus not standing in each other's ways.

vovikov84 [41]

The correct answer is option Energy is lost at each trophic level.

In a Ecological pyramid, the energy is transferred from the producer to the consumer level. The ecological pyramid is triangular in  structure, this is because the number of organism on each successive trophic level is less than the preceding one or the one below it.

The reason of this shape of ecological pyramid is on subsequent trophic level, the amount of energy transferred is only 10%. The rest of the energy is dissipated in the environment in the form of heat. As only 10% of total energy is transferred to the subsequent level, The amount of energy reaching to tertiary consumer is very less that it cannot meet the energy demand of next level.

Answer:

The new drug will not be effective against the treatment of cancer.

Explanation:

The drug will not be effective against the cancer treatment because the drug will inhibit the dimerization of receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) but as the Ras has undergone mutation due to replacement of one amino acid, it will be constitutively expressed and the drug is not effective in stopping the Ras functioning.

Thus, Gefitinib cannot work against the cancerous cell as it is not potent to stop the functioning of mutant Ras protein.
