1. Replace disposable items with reusable
Anything you use and throw away can potentially spend centuries in a landfill. See below for simple adjustments you can make to decrease the amount of disposable items in your daily life.

Carry your own reusable cup or water bottle
Use airtight, reusable food containers instead of sandwich bags and plastic wrap
Pack a waste-free lunch: carry your utensils, cloth napkin, and containers in a reusable lunch bag
Bring your own bags to the grocery store
Consider buying bulk containers of your preferred beverages and refilling a reusable bottle, instead of buying individually packaged drinks
Use rechargeable batteries

2. Pass on paper
We are living in the Digital Era, but think about all the paper products you use in your daily life. These actions still align with reusing and repurposing, though may take a little more time for transition.

Join a library instead of buying books or buy a Kindle
Print as little as possible; and if you must, print on both sides
Wrap gifts in fabric and tie with ribbon; both are reusable and prettier than paper and sticky-tape
Stop using paper towels and incorporate washable cloths
Look at labels to make sure you only use FSC-certified wood and paper products
Cut out products made by palm oil companies that contribute to deforestation in Indonesia and Malaysia

3. Conserve water & electricity
The tips you see below will seem like no-brainers; however, it may take to become more aware of your unconscious habits.

Turn the sink water off when brushing your teeth
Water the lawn in the morning or evening; cooler air causes less evaporation
Switch off anything that uses electricity when not in use (lights, televisions, computers, printers, etc.)
Unplug devices when possible; even when an appliance is turned off, it may still use power
Remove chemicals inside of the house; research companies that use plant-derived ingredients for their household cleaning products
Remove chemicals outside of the house; use eco-friendly pesticides and herbicides that won’t contaminate groundwater
Consider signing up for a renewable energy producer that uses 100% renewable energy to power homes

Describe how finches of the Galapagos Islands adapted over time.
konstantin123 [22]

Answer:

Darwin observed the Galapagos finches had a graded series of beak sizes and shapes and predicted these species were modified from one original mainland species.

Darwin called differences among species natural selection, which is caused by the inheritance of traits, competition between individuals, and the variation of traits.

Offspring with inherited characteristics that allow them to best compete will survive and have more offspring than those individuals with variations that are less able to compete.

Large-billed finches feed more efficiently on large, hard seeds, whereas smaller billed finches feed more efficiently on small, soft seeds.

When small, soft seeds become rare, large-billed finches will survive better, and there will be more larger-billed birds in the following generation; when large, hard seeds become rare, the opposite will occur.

Why are insulin levels in the blood an important marker for overall health in addition to cholesterol levels?
zvonat [6]
They are markers because their blood level can tell about the human's metabolism, and can predict diseases.

Cholesterol is a natural fat essential to the body. It allows, among other things, the synthesis of vitamin D or bile. It is a constituent of the wall of our cells. Finally, it is part of many hormones, such as sex hormones.Cholesterol has been identified as responsible for certain cardiovascular diseases such as myocardial infarction and stroke.
Insulin is a hormone naturally produced by the pancreas in response to an increase in the level of sugar (glucose) in the blood.Insulin synthesis failure or insulin resistance leads to diabetes, a disease that affects the quality of life of the patient as it will be dependent on daily intake of antidiabetic and insulin, and will be required to adapt a diet. dietetic
