Answer:

The correct answer is option populations change slowly over time.

Explanation:

Evolution is a slow process in which a species changes over time.

The transition from teeth to baleen mouth involved a slow process which took millions of years, for example, the whales are thought to have evolved from Pakicetus inachus around 53 million years ago. These Pakicetus were land animals with large teeth and long skulls. Later they evolved into species with reduced pelvis which lived in marine habitats and were able to drink saline water .

Thus, populations change slowly over time is the correct answer.

Science when birds remain airborne and moving without flapping their wings, on what are they gliding?
Citrus2011 [14]

Soaring is a science when birds remain airborne and moving without flapping their wings. They are maintaining thrust and gliding downward but staying aloft

<h3 /><h3>Further explanation</h3>

Soaring birds is where the birds can maintain flight without wing flapping, because they using rising air currents. Many gliding birds are able to lock their extended wings by means of a specialized tendon. Some land birds such as vultures and certain hawks, sustain flight for long periods without flapping their wings.

For example soaring California Condor spreads its primary feathers so that each acts as a small, high-aspect-ratio wing. This reduces turbulence at the wingtips and helping the condor to stay aloft circling slowly in thermals.

Vultures have a low aspect ratio (ratio of length to width of the wing) which generally produce a lot of drag. Vultures overcome the problem of by flying with their primary feathers extended, creating slots between them. Each primary serves as an individual high-aspect-ratio wing. This high-aspect-ratio reducing wingtip turbulence and lowering the stalling speed of the wings. This helps vultures to circle in thermals, maintaining thrust by gliding downward, but staying aloft by sinking at a rate slower than the hot air rising.

If you increase the number of water molecules in the extracellular fluid, will the membrane move to the right or the left in the
Igoryamba

Answer:

The membrane will move to the left in view of the applied pressure.

Explanation:

The scenario described can be perfectly illustrated through understanding the concept of osmosis.

Osmosis can be defined as the movement of particules or molecules in a solvent from a region of lower concentration to a region of higher concentration, through a semi permeable membrane.

To put differently, the movement of water molecules is from a region of lower osmotic pressure to a higher one. And for osmosis to be achieved and water molecules evenly distributed, pressure built must be slow and steady to a state of high or equilibrium.

This often results to movement of membrane to the left as a response to the osmosis phenomenon. Increasing the number of water molecules in the extra cellular fluid will thus accelerate this process, increase the pressure built up, and thus generate ripples from a lower area to a higher one. Osmosis is thus gradual and steady.

This is an example of repetition.
Repetition is an important literary device since it allows a speaker or a writer to put emphasis on items they choose to be significant. it is an important tool for authors and speakers in developing style, tone, and rhythm. It tells the audience or the reader that the words that are being used are central enough to be repeated, and also lets them know when to pay a special attention to the language.
