(Marine science) The Atlantic puffin feeds on several species of Atlantic fish. A population of puffins living on Matinucus Rock

was found to feed on the types of fish shown in the graph below. The beaks of this group of puffin are shaped to grasp Species A particularly well. Predict what would happen to the puffins’ beaks if another predator enters the area that is better at preying on Species A. Explain your reasoning based on what you know regarding genetic adaptations.

If another predator, that is more efficient hunter, enters the territory of the puffins, the puffins will find themselves in a very tough situation. They will either have to adapt very quickly, or die out.

The evolutionary pressure will be there fro the puffins to push them in a direction to adapt and be netter hunters, thus fight for their existence. That would mean that the puffin's beak, but also their speed and efficiency will have to improve in order to compete or even out-compete the new predator.

If the puffins do not manage to adapt relatively quickly, and a food shortage occurs, than they will die out, as they will lose the fight for food constantly.

A machine require 2,000 joules to raise a 20 kilogram block a distance of 6 meters. How efficient is the machine?
Nataly_w [17]
Potential energy = (mass) x (gravity) x (height) .

To raise the 20kg block 6 meters, you need to give it

                         (20 kg) x (9.8 m/s²) x (6 m) = 1,176 joules

of potential energy.

Your machine takes 2,000 joules of energy to give the block
the 1,176 joules that it takes.

Your machine is only  (1176 / 2000) = 58.8% efficient .

The other 'missing' 824 joules of energy doesn't just disappear.
It heats the machine, and the air around it.  The final result is
that when you use that machine to lift blocks, you have to use
even MORE energy, to blow cool air on the machine and prevent
it from overheating and breaking.

How is energy expanded in active transport
Katarina [22]
<h3><u>Expansion of energy in active transport:</u></h3>
  • Active transport is a transport process that involves movement of molecules between regions through a membrane against the concentration gradient.
  • It is homeostatic process which means it’s a biological process in which functions of the body are regulated to achieve internal balance.
  • Active transport uses metabolic energy ATP to transport molecules across a membrane.
  • Generally, metal ions are transported across cell membrane by active transport.
  • Metal ions are transported with the help of ion pumps and are distributed through the body.
