The finches of the Galapagos Islands would be considered specialists. This is because the finches have diversified in a way in which each species has uniquely evolved to perform a very specific task (eating a particular type of food). Moreover, this process is known as adaptive radiation, as a single lineage (the original finch) undergoes speciation events that eventually fill divergent ecological niches, creating many related species.
Plants take up nutrients in water and make their own food. Animals ingest/ eat food and cannot make food. Animals have soft membranes and have skeletons to give body shape
