The Chatham Island robin is a small endangered bird found in scrub forests off the coast of New Zealand. The robin is preyed upo

Answer: 2. Population bottleneck

Explanation:

A Population bottleneck is a term used to refer to an event that causes the population of a species to reduce in very large numbers. Such an event can be environmental disasters like famine, the overhunting of a species or the destruction of its habitat.

In the case of the Cha-tham Island Robin, the bottleneck event must have been the introduction of cats and rats which then went on to hunt the birds to near extinction.

2. What is an example of something studied on the molecular level (as opposed to the atomic level)?
Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

Something studied on the molecular level is the water.

Explanation:

Water is a molecule formed by two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom, whose chemical representation is H₂O. It is a molecule whose polarity makes it a universal solvent of other polar molecules.

The molecular level corresponds to the level of organization where two or more atoms unite to form molecules or substances, united by chemical bonds. H₂O is studied at this level due to its chemical structure.

With respect to other options:

  • <u><em>Hydrogen and oxygen</em></u><em> are atoms, and correspond to the level of atomic organization.</em>
  • <u><em>Protons</em></u><em> are particles that are part of an atom, and correspond to the subatomic level.</em>

What surrounds the cell and controls the movement of substances in and out
Nonamiya [84]

Answer:

The plasma membrane is made up by a phospholipid bilayer with embedded proteins that separates the internal contents of the cell from its surrounding environment. Only relatively small, non- polar materials can easily move through the lipid bilayer of the plasma membrane.

Why might (mostly) boneless creatures, like jellyfish, sea slugs, squid, and octopuses, fare especially well underwater? What is
vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

The species that develop in aquatic environments, need to be able to have an adequate locomotion and according to the hydrostatic pressure in the water, which this pressure has the opposite direction to gravity in terrestrial life.

Explanation:

Vertebrates that have a skeleton are accustomed to gravitational forces, and this bone structure is what allows adequate locomotion to perform movements as a function of the force of earth's gravity, in water the force of gravity has no effect, since that the hydrostatic force predominates, which the direction is opposite to the gravitational forces.

Amorphous bodies, with few solid structures, not bony, make them better adapt to movements in water masses that are promoted by hydrostatic forces.
