In the warm months of the year, it is natural to find cooler water at the depths of a lake; the exact opposite is true in winter. Due to the way that molecules arrange themselves in the water, warmer water stays at the bottom of the lake and cooler water stays at the top. Fish tend to swim to the warmer areas when lakes freeze over, and some even go to the very bottom and burrow into the mud there for added warmth.

As winter wears on, levels of oxygen in the water, leaving fish in a vulnerable state. When oxygen is low, fish may reduce their activity level and shut down feeding until conditions are more optimal. Persistent levels of low oxygen can result in freeze out, which is also known as winterkill, causing fish to die off due to lack of oxygen in the water. This is a natural phenomenon that is seen in harsher winters or winters that are particularly long and extreme.

Can someone please help me with 1 evolution question ?
geniusboy [140]
Antibiotic resistance is a consequence of evolution via natural selection. The antibiotic action is an environmental pressure; those bacteria which have a mutation allowing them to survive will live on to reproduce. They will then pass this trait to their offspring, which will be a fully resistant generation.

The ileum contains ________ that project into the lumen and increase the amount of surface area.
Ivanshal [37]

The ileum contains villi that project into the lumen and increase the amount of surface area.

Villi are small finger-like structures that project into the lumen of the small intestine. Villi increase the surface area of the intestinal walls for easy and quick absorption of digested food with the addition of digestive secretions. Villi vary in length from about 0.5 to 1 mm. They are usually found in large numbers at the beginning of the small intestine and they reduce toward the end of the tract.
