Answer:

<em>C. The bird population moved into and adapted to many different environments on the Hawaiian Islands.</em>

Why:

<em>When a species </em><em>adapts</em><em> itself to new environments certain features will change, such as beak size, wing use, and even height, these are all changed depending on what the species does and needs to survive. These birds all changed food sources which made them have to adapt their beaks over time to new sources, and natural color to over generations camouflage themselves better from predators.</em>

<em>(Hope this was a good explanation.)</em>

How does the process of smooth muscle contraction differ from contraction in skeletal muscle?
Lana71 [14]

Similar to the other types of muscle, smooth muscle contraction is caused by the sliding of myosin and actin filaments over each other. Calcium initiates contractions in a different way in a smooth muscle than in a skeletal muscle.

Smooth muscles use less energy to generate the given amount of force, can substain contractile force without fatigue & uses calcium from the sarcoplasic reticulum & extracellular space.
