Answer:
c. Physical adaptations to the environment drive the distribution of all three species in the wild.
Explanation:
Options A and B refer to competition between species. The experiment was about the colonizing ability of the three species, and not the interaction among them. So these two options are not correct.
Option D states that species A is better adapted to the upper intertidal zone than the middle or lower. But the table shows that species A is equally adapted to colonize upper and middle intertidal zone, and less adapted to colonize lower zones.
The correct option is C. When these competing species coexist, this is because of niche partitioning or niche differentiation. If there is not any differentiation between them, the dominant species displaces the weak species. In the exposed example, the three species coexist in the middle and lower zones, which means that they probably have different niches and got adapted to living to their environments. This adaptation to different conditions is what leads to their distribution.
In the exposed example, species A and B can live in the upper intertidal zone, where species C can not live because they can not tolerate environmental conditions. The three species can live in the middle zone, but still, A and B are more adapted to this area than C. Among A and B, B is the most adapted to living in the upper and middle zones. Species C seems to be very adapted to live in the lower intertidal zone, where species A and B can also live, but are less adapted to this area, probably due to environmental conditions or due to their vulnerability to predation. In this last area, species A is less adapted.
Hi there!

Kinetic Energy (1/2 · mass · velocity²) occurs when an object is in motion, or a force is occurring on the object. An example would be a car in motion.
Potential energy (mass · height · gravity ) is obtained when an object has the ability to do work. An example would be an object on a shelf. It has the potential to fall, and this would cause the potential energy to become converted into kinetic energy.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Looking at the examples in the table, we can sort them as such:
Girl swimming laps- Kinetic energy because the girl is in motion.
Boy on diving board - Potential energy because the boy is not in motion, but has the potential to be in motion.
Girl hitting volleyball - Kinetic energy because the volleyball is in motion.
Boy holding volleyball- Potential energy because the volleyball is stationary and has the potential to be in motion.
Therefore, the correct table is table 1.
The correct option is this: THE MASS OF THE PROBE REMAINS THE SAME, BUT THE WEIGHT OF THE PROBE DECREASES.
The mass of an object is a measure of the amount of substance it contains and this amount always remain the same unless there is a change in quantity of matter. This is the reason why the mass of a substance will remain constant, no matter where it is placed, whether on planet earth or on another planet. The weight of a substance on the other hand is a force, whose value depends on the force of gravity. Thus, the force of gravity that exist in the place, where the object is placed will determine its weight.
