Scientists have observed that in the Antarctic ecosystem Adélie and Chinstrap penguin populations have decreased in the past 40

years by about half. However, Gentoo penguin populations have remained steady and are possibly increasing. Increasing ocean temperatures in the Antarctic is resulting in less sea ice and less krill because krill depend on sea ice.
Which statement, if true, BEST explains why Gentoo penguins have a survival advantage in the changing Antarctic environment?

A.
Adult Gentoo penguins average about 0.5 kilograms more in weight than adult Adélie and Chinstrap penguins.

B.
Leopard seals prey heavily upon juvenile penguins.

C.
Gentoo penguins eat more types of prey than either Adélie or Chinstrap penguins.

D.
Penguins spend a large amount of their energy on keeping warm during harsh winters with very low temperatures.

Do all the subatomic particles participate in chemical reactions?
bekas [8.4K]
No. Not all subatomic particles participate in chemical reactions.

The subatomic particles are proton, neutron, and electron.

neutron - subatomic particle with NO electrical charge. It is found in the nucleus of an atom.

proton - subatomic particle with 1 positive electrical charge. It is found in the
nucleus of an atom.

electron - subatomic particle with 1 negative electrical charge. One or more electrons move around the nucleus of an atom.

Among the three subatomic particles, electron is directly involved in the chemical reaction between two atoms.

The domestication and breeding of animals to have as pets, livestock on farms, or for work purposes is a form of artificial sele
musickatia [10]

Answer: Natural Selection is the (natural) process in nature whereby organisms (plants, animals, etc.) that are better adapted to survive and thrive in their environment, are more likely to survive in order to breed/reproduce and pass on their own genes and characteristics. These characteristics can be physical or behavioral.

Artificial selection is where man, instead of nature, determines which characteristics they would like to hone. In the case of crops, edible, tasty, easy to cultivate crops were chosen above harder to grow crops. Animals kept for meat and other products, were selected based on how much milk, wool, meat, etc. could be produced. Health was also a factor, as sickly animals are troublesome (and potentially unsafe to utilize their products). In the case of domesticated pets, let us consider the dog, originating from domesticated wolves. The more easily trained, protective, better natured wolves were chosen to continue to line of species and the undesirables discarded.
