Enough supporting evidence has accumulated for it to be called a theory.  Darwin did not invent the idea and he did not observe and collect all of the supporting evidence on his own. However, he carried out the research necessary to document that evolution has occurred, proposed a plausible mechanism (natural selection) to explain why and how it occurs, and then published the theory and evidence in order to make it available to other scientists and to the general public. Unlike Lamarck's idea that individuals alter their traits based on the environment, Darwin proposed that variations already existed within a population and those individuals with the more favorable, or useful, traits survive to reproduce. These traits then become more common in the population, leading the population to evolve slowly over time.

Why are proteins not usually used for energy?
Allushta [10]
Turning amino acids into molecules that can be used in the Krebs cycle takes energy, which means that burning protein for fuel is not as efficient as burning carbohydrates. ... When amino acids are used as an energy source, it reduces the reserves of amino acids that are available for protein synthesis.

Which molecule supplies chlorophyll with electrons
True [87]

In light reactions, a molecule of chlorophyll absorbs one photon of light, causing a chlorophyll electron to transfer to a higher energy level. The energized electrons from the chlorophyll molecules flow down a transportation chain to a compound called nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate or NADP.
