Eat It because it tastes really really good
A vestigial structure is a structure that kind-of just "hangs out" in our bodies. We don't really need it, yet it is there. So, why is it there??? We probably needed it, for example, when we needed to digest plants. (Appendix) Some say that the appendix was used for digesting plants and berries, but it is really just speculation. We "evolved" to not need the appendix.
Here are some other vestigial examples: wisdom teeth, tail bone, pelvic bone in a snake, and wings on a flightless bird.
I hope this helped, if it did not let me know!!
I hope you have a fantastical day!!!XD
Answer:
A
Explanation:
We do not gain the mass of the food we eat. Therefore, B is wrong. Our cells do not grow in size, they only grow in number. Therefore, C is wrong. Although the puppy's body does, in a way, stretch out, A is a better option. Therefore, D is likely to be wrong.
In ecology, productivity refers to the rate of generation of biomass in an ecosystem. It is usually expressed in units of mass per unit surface (or volume) per unit time, for instance grams per square metre per day (g m−2 d−1). The mass unit may relate to dry matter or to the mass of carbon generated. Productivity of autotrophs such as plants is called primary productivity, while that of heterotrophs such as animals is called secondary productivity
