Darwin's finches are often used to illustrate evolution. Evaluate the finch beaks shown in the picture. Choose ALL of the statements that correctly explain the evolution of finch beaks.

A) As the environment changed, the finches grew longer beaks to allow them to get food out of fruits.

B) Finches with longer beaks settled on the same island with smaller beaked birds. Over time, they bred, producing medium beaked birds that became more common in the population.

C) There are finches with different types of beaks in the population. During a drought, those with shorter beaks are not able to find sufficient food and die, leaving them unable to reproduce and pass the trait on to offspring.

D) A random mutation introduced the shorter, thicker beak into the population. However, those with thinner, longer beaks were better able to get nectar from the island's flowers. Those birds with the shorter, thicker beaks were unable to get enough food to survive.

E) A disease swept through the island killing many of the insects that were common on the island, leaving the birds who ate insects from the ground starving. The finches that had thicker beaks and could get food from tree bark were able to continue to survive and reproduce, increasing this trait in the population.

Answer:

the answer is a i hope this helps

Explanation:

The sac-like structure of the alveoli increases their surface area. In addition, the alveoli are made of thin-walled parenchymal cells. These features allow gases to easily diffuse across the cells. so the

Alveoli has thin walls which are surrounded by blood vessels, and they have maximized are for gas exchange. Thus, option A, B, and D are correct.

What are Alveoli?

These are basic respiratory units, which are balloon like structure present in the lungs, where exchange of gases takes place. A pair of human lungs can contain approximately 480 million alveoli, which produces about, 50 to 75 square meters surface are.

Alveoli are made of thin walls, and they are covered by a rich blood supply through capillaries, this supplies a diffusion gradient for oxygen to move into the blood and carbon dioxide to move into the lungs.

Therefore, the larger surface area, presence of thin wall, which is only one cell thick,  and rich blood supply due to presence of blood vessels enable them to exchange gases efficiently.

Answers

Answer:

Limiting factors fall into two broad categories: density-dependent factors and density-independent factors. These names mean just what they say: Density-independent factors have an impact on the population, whether the population is large or small, growing or shrinking.

the density-dependent factor example is:

Density-dependent factor, also called regulating factor, in ecology, any force that affects the size of a population of living things in response to the density of the population (the number of individuals per unit area).

the independent factors example is:

Pollution. Like other density independent factors, pollution is a good example of a density independence.

Explanation:

Some examples of limiting factors are biotic, like food, mates, and competition with other organisms for resources. Others are abiotic, like space, temperature, altitude, and amount of sunlight available in an environment. Limiting factors are usually expressed as a lack of a particular resource.
