Abird species that lives in only one swamp has a beak designed only for cracking snail shells. the birds depend on the snails for food. what will most likely happen to the bird species if the swamp suddenly dries up, killing off the snails? a. the bird species will immediately adapt to eating berries. b. the bird species will quickly evolve and adapt to have a new kind of beak. c. the bird will become extinct because it is not adapted to eat other food. d. the bird species will immediately adapt by catching insects to eat.

Option C

Explanation Below

Well, we can rule out options A and D because adaption takes time and I am guessing the unit is Darwin's Finches. Both A and D could be valid option only if some time was added in between the intervals. With the information I just gave, option B can also be ruled out because it uses the word "quickly". Since evolution takes lots of time, quickly isn't really an option. This leaves the answer as choice C as the bird species will adapt.

many other transport proteins, often called pumps, move materials against a concentration gradient. active transport drives molecules across a membrane from a region of lower concentration to a region of higher concentration. this process, shown in figure 5.1, uses transport proteins powered by chemi- cal energy.
