Answer:

B. Organisms in each ecological system have evolved in that system and have adaptations suited for that environment.

Explanation:

According to natural selection theory, organisms need to continuously adapt and evolve within an environment or risk being wiped away from that environment.

Organisms that are not able to adapt to an environment are gradually replaced by those that have the capability to adapt and survive in that environment.

Those that are able to survive go ahead to reproduce and give rise to offspring with inherent ability to survive while those that cannot survive die off.

The correct option is B.

Answer:

B. Organisms in each ecological system have evolved in that system and have adaptations suited for that environment.

Explanation:

Every organism lives in a habitat, within which it lives in an ecosystem best suited for its need. An organism needs food, water and a favorable weather to live. For an organism to survive in an ecosystem, it needs to adapt to the conditions in that ecosystem, else it dies. Therefore, different types of organisms in different systems will have varying characteristics.

This is linked to Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution which implies that all organism in an ecological system evolve heritable traits suited for their environment.

1)Most of the food we eat can be influenced by whom?<br><br> 2)Food choices come from what?
Fantom [35]

Answer:

1) Hunger, savor, appetite. Three main biological reasons why we eat. Also, the economic ability to pay for the food. And the fisical capability to go and buy food, to cook.

2) Our physiological needs are the main reason why we choose food. People need energy to survive.

Everyone would like to have the possibility to eat what he wants. But food choices depend on the financial situation, social class, and preferences.

That is why poor people or people who have less money to spend on food, often eat food that can feed more people but it doesn’t have nutritional values. When people have money, they immediately have a wider spectrum of groceries that can choose from.

Explanation:

Savour is equal to enjoying. When people are not hungry they are happier. We choose what to eat depending on the look, taste, smell, texture. As sweets smell good, people consider them the most attractive food. Food is not just the source of nutrition, it is also the source of satisfaction.
