Oxygen is the by-product or waste product of photosynthesis. Plants do not make oxygen just for us.
There's two effects that the islands have on the size of the animals, reducing of size, or increasing of size. The reducing of size is known as island dwarfism, while the increase in size is known island gigantism.
The effect of the island environment effects different types of animals in different manner, and it also has to be taken in account the size of the island. In general, the small animals tend to increase their size on the islands, while the large animals tend to decrease in size. The reason for this is that the smaller animals, because of the isolation, usually lack predators or they are very few, but also have sufficient amounts of food, thus they grow in size. The larger animals though, decrease their size because there isn't enough food on the islands to support them, thus with the decrease in size they consume less. Also, since they usually lack predators, they do not have to be large in order to defend themselves.
Answer:
I think it's an example of equilibrium
Even though there are no choices given in this particular question, the principle of osmosis is very easy to understand.
When we talk about osmosis, we are referring to the movement of water from a low concentration to a higher concentration. This is different from diffusion, which talks specifically about the movement of <em>solutes</em> in the solution (from a higher concentration to a lower concentration.)
When an RBC is placed inside a <em>hypertonic </em>solution, the water inside the RBC will go out thereby shrinking the RBC.
Inside an <em>isotonic</em> solution, the RBC will remain the same because the concentrations are equal.
Inside a <em>hypotonic</em> solution, the RBC will lyse or explode because water will move from the solution going inside the RBC.
