Answer:
permeability
Explanation:
dictionary definition: the state/quality of a material or membrane that causes it to allow liquids or gases to pass through it
in biology we use this term to describe the cell membrane, it is "semi-permeable" because it allows certain gasses and molecules to pass through
Answer: Option E, in 12 years.
Explanation:
A geometric growth model is characterized by its finite growth rate, known as lambda. The size of the population after a unit of time has passed can be calculated using the last known size and lamba as:

Starting from the initial value of population, the next one will be calculated multiplying by 1.4, and the next one multiplying again by 1.4, thus we can define a function that relates the time passed in year to the size of the population:

Substituting our values we get the function that defines the growth of our poupulation:

Then, we just have to clear the t that gives a population of 500:

Thus, at 12 years, the population will be greater than 500.

a) Reptiles
b) Cactus plants
c) Small birds
d) Crabs and crayfish
The answer is C. Small birds.
On his visit to the Galapagos Islands, Charles Darwin discovered several species of finches that varied from island to Island, which helped him to develop his theory of natural selection.
