Question

The following describes a lab on natural selection.

Answer 1

Answer:
The spoon is best used for consuming macaroni over toothpicks.
The scissors are better at collecting than consuming.The plastic cup represents the stomach of the bird.

This experiment seems to compare different bird beak and its capability to collect and consume food. The spoon should be better than toothpicks as it could take multiple macaronies. Scissors have a good grip that makes it better to collect but will be hard to consume as it will just cut the macaroni. The number of macaronies inside the plastic cup represents how much food gets inside the bird.

Answer 2

Answer:

The spoon is best used for consuming macaroni over toothpicks.

The scissors are better at collecting than consuming.

The plastic cup represents the stomach of the bird.

Explanation:

The given activity shows the efficiency of various beak types in birds to collect and consume the food. Here, spoon, forceps, scissors, etc. represent the beaks of different shapes. Spoons can pick more than one macaronis at a time and put in into the plastic cup where in turn represents the birds' stomach here. Therefore, spoons are best for consuming macaroni. On the other hand, a toothpick can pick only one macaroni at a time. Scissors can cut the macaroni and therefore, are more efficient in the collection of food.
