While visiting the Galapagos Islands in 1835, Charles Darwin collected over thirteen different species of a type of bird called

a finch. He later observed that the birds were similar in many ways but often differed in the size and shape of their beaks. Which statement BEST summarizes Darwin's explanantion for the different beaks he observed in these finch species?
A) The beaks changed so they could eat different foods.
B) The beaks of each finch species were the result of natural selection.
C) The size and shape of the beaks differed because of the effects of artificial selection.
D) The size and shape of the beaks differed because of different climates found on the islands.

Answer:

The answer is B

Explanation:

The beaks of each of the finch species were the result of natural selection. Darwin believed that the shapes and sizes of the beaks were best suited for the environments in which the birds lived.

Describe how the functional units for beta carotene, xanthophyll, chlorophyll a, and chlorophyll b are different. be sure to ide
leonid [27]

The pigments have a similar structure of 40 carbon atoms covalently bonded in a chain. Carotenoids contain oxygen atoms in their chemical structure (retinyl functional group) while xanthophyll does not. This makes carotenoids more non-polar compared to xanthophylls, hence move farthest in chromatography paper using a nonpolar mobile phase. Chlorophyll pigment, on the other hand, has chlorin rings (which are larger) as functional units hence move slowly in chromatography.

Photosynthetic rates can be measured by either the amount of oxygen they consume per particular time period or the amount of carbon dioxide produced per particular time period. This is conducted while immersed in water so as to measure bubble rate formation in case of oxygen production or the change in water pH in the case of carbon dioxide consumption.

When autumn approaches, the amount sunlight received by the plant is reduced due to longer night than days. Deciduous trees have adapted by losing chlorophyll a and b pigments (most important in photosynthesis) during this time. This leaves a higher amount of the other red and yellow pigments hence making the leaves change from green to yellow-red.

It is believed that this is the result of an ancient endosymbiotic relationship between a protist and a eukaryotic cell. The protist generates energy that the eukaryotic can utilize in its growth and reproduction while the protist is sheltered. This relationship became obligatory symbiosis over time.

What are the adaptations of bottle-nosed dolphins that allows them to thrive in the marine biome?.
3241004551 [841]

Answer:

Thermoregulation

Explanation:

  1. Decreased surface-to-volume ratio. The dolphin's fusiform body shape and reduced limb size decrease the amount of surface area exposed to the external environment.
  2. Increased insulation. Dolphins deposit most of their body fat into a thick layer of blubber.
  3. Heat exchange system.

What is a benefit of using bioenergy over nuclear energy?
Dmitry [639]

Answer:

O Bioenergy does not release harmful greenhouse gasses.

Explanation:

Nuclear energy might not releases as much greenhouse gasses as fossil fuels do but it still releases some. Bioenergy produces energy by using 100% natural elements whereas nuclear energy does not.
