Answer:
B. Directional Selection
Explanation:
By doing some research I found out what most of this means so let's do my favorite process, the process of elimination
A. Disruptive
Disruptive selection produces two or more species with two different traits nothing in the question says two different scorpions where formed one with big pinchers and another with big stingers no it just talks about them slowly forming big pinchers
C. Stabilizing
Stabilizing selection is when two species are produced with more similar traits nothing vastly different, I would consider them forming really big pinchers to be an extreme
The function of villi, small finger-like projections in the intestines, is to
allow for more surface area in the small intestines. This way, absorbing nutrients from digested food into the blood would improve greatly. Although they do not
help in digestion, they are still important parts of the digestive system.
Answer:
A. in order to release the energy found in food.
Explanation:
Every cell in your body needs oxygen to function. You get the oxygen your cells need from the air you breathe. The air you breathe is made up of 20 percent oxygen. The rest of the air is mostly nitrogen (79%). Your body cells use the oxygen you breathe to get energy from the food you eat. This process is called cellular respiration. During cellular respiration the cell uses oxygen to break down sugar. Breaking down sugar produces the energy your body needs. This is very similar to wood burning in a fire. As the wood burns, it combines with oxygen and releases heat energy and carbon dioxide. When the cell uses oxygen to break down sugar, oxygen is used, carbon dioxide is produced, and energy is released. But instead of heat energy, much of the energy produced in cellular respiration is stored chemically for the cell to use later. Carbon dioxide is the waste product of cellular respiration that you breathe out each time you breathe. Blood picks up oxygen and releases carbon dioxide in the lungs. The opposite takes place in the cells where the blood releases oxygen and picks up carbon dioxide.
