10 points! When looking out of my back door, I see robins, blue jays, finches, crows, hawks and owls all living in the same area

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.

Cell wall - Adds structural support to the cell. Holds the cells together
Cell membrane - Serves as a barrier to the cell and allows more nutrient and molecules to move in and out of the cell without letting things that can harm the cell in. 
Outer membrane - Serves the same basic functions a the cell membrane. (Depending on how complicated the class your in is, I would visit this website for more information... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bacterial_outer_membrane )
Pili - Help the cell move and attach the bacteria to surfaces are other cells. 
DNA - Contains the genetic instructions on what the cell can physically do, operate, and reproduce.
