The Fact that organisms are adapted to survive in particular environments helps to explain why a. captive-breeding programs are
xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

The answer is C

Explanation:

Habitat destruction is the most cause of extinctions. As deforestation continues in tropical forests, it causes mass extinctions among organisms.

All species have specific food and habitat needs. The more specific these needs and the more localized the habitat, the greater the vulnerability of species to loss of habitat to agricultural land, livestock, roads and cities.  This is because the organisms are already adapted to the environment and any changes can prove disastrous for them.

In the future, the only species that survive are likely to be those whose habitats are highly protected, or whose habitat corresponds to the degraded state associated with human activity.

Which of the following illustrates intraspecific competition? A sea gull swooping down to snatch a fish from the water's surface
choli [55]

Answer: Male red-winkled black birds defending limited nesting sites from other males.

Explanation: Intraspecific competition is defined as a competition between two individuals from the same species. There are two types of intraspecific competition which are interference intraspecific competition and exploitation intraspecific competition. For the purpose of the answer provided above, interference intraspecific competition is discussed.

In interference intraspecific competition, the species establish hierarchies through aggressive behavior in which one or more individuals within the population holds a dominant status over the others. These individuals limit or prevent access of more subordinate individuals to a resources through direct interactions.

Here, only those individuals who are dominant or holds territories will increase their production success. Example of this is in when two winkled black birds establishes a territory of nesting sites, thus limits the access of this nesting sites thereby defending the nesting sites from other males.

How does the aorta compare in size to the other blood vessels near it?
mart [117]

Answer: it doesn't

Explanation: Why? The aorta is the largest artery in the body. The aorta begins at the top of the left ventricle the heart's muscular pumping chamber. The heart pumps blood from the left ventricle into the aorta through the aortic valve. Three leaflets on the aortic valve open and close with each heartbeat to allow one-way flow of blood. The aorta is a tube about a foot long and just over an inch in diameter. The aorta is divided into four sections:

• The ascending aorta rises up from the heart and is about 2 inches long. The coronary arteries branch off the ascending aorta to supply the heart with blood.

• The aortic arch curves over the heart, giving rise to branches that bring blood to the head, neck, and arms.

• The descending thoracic aorta travels down through the chest. Its small branches supply blood to the ribs and some chest structures.

• The abdominal aorta begins at the diaphragm, splitting to become the paired iliac arteries in the lower abdomen. Most of the major organs receive blood from branches of the abdominal aorta.

Like all arteries, the aorta's wall has several layers:

• The intima, the innermost layer, provides a smooth surface for blood to flow across.

• The media, the middle layer with muscle and elastic fibers, allows the aorta to expand and contract with each heartbeat.

• The adventitia, the outer layer, provides additional support and structure to the aorta.
