a) glucose; it is easy to break down.
b) fat; they store twice as much energy per gram.
c) protein; it is a compact source of energy in their bodies.

Which of the following is one of the four conditions necessary for natural selection to occur in a population? fewer organisms are born than the habitat can support mutation does not occur organisms have identical characteristics variation is inherited

Researchers determine that the biodiversity in a woodland region is declining. they identify two major threats to the region's biodiversity, a method to address each threat, and the expected outcome of each method. this information is shown in the table. threat method number of species that benefit number of years to see benefit habitat fragmentation reforestation 450 8 introduced prey species biological augmentation 150 2 which statement is an accurate explanation of the information in the table? a. biological augmentation would benefit only a few species because it is typically not very effective. b. biological augmentation would take less time to be effective because it targets the majority of prey species. c. reforestation would take the longest time to be effective because trees take several years to grow. d. reforestation would not benefit many species because most forest species live on the ground.

3points hurry! what is the relationship between biotechnology, sharkskin, and disease resistance? bioengineers have developed an artificial sharkskin that does not allow resistant bacteria to grow on it. disease-causing microbes have been genetically modified to keep them from infecting the skins of sharks. scientists have created a device that can be attached to the skins of sharks that dramatically increases their abilities to resist disease. sharkskin produces many chemicals that can be collected and used to create antibiotics.
