Answer: The correct answer for the first question is- B) Mechanical.

Adaptation can be described as a process of change in an organism over time that facilitates its survival in the changing environmental conditions. It results due to mutation or genetic change in the individual that gives a benefit to the organism. It exhibits change in structure ( like succulent plants in desert), function, or behavior.

Mechanical is not a type of adaptation as it deals with movement of objects.

The correct answer for second question is- C) Variations.

Variation among organisms in a population results from change in the genetic material or their genetic sequences. Change at the genetic level is thus reflected in the phenotypes ( like different color of feathers in birds).

Thus, difference is in the feather color reflects variations.

Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

the chemical

Explanation:

A variable whose variation does not depend upon on any other variable in any manner is termed as independent variable.
An independent variable is the one that can only be actually varied by the experimenter who is using it to test the affect of this particular variable on other variables that depend on it and thus, change as the independent variable is changing.
In the given experiment the scientist is testing the effect of spraying chemicals on the apple yard, here the chemical used is an independent variable as varying the amount of chemical that is sprayed will change the yield of the apples.

Marisol has been chewing and swallowing her food, but her digestive system is not doing what it usually does. Why is this a prob

Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

Digestion is the process of breakdown of the large food particles into the small substances and absorbed by the body. The digestive enzymes and digestive juices are required for the digestion.

The Marisol digestive system is not working although she swallow her food. This may affect her exercise as the cells are not able to get work. The food particles are not broken down and absorbed by the cells, This causes the energy deficiency in her cells and she is not able to do normal physical work properly.
