Which of the following is an example of a decomposition reaction? a. photosynthesis b. digestion c. polymerization d. exchange of ions between two compounds digestion is an example of a decomposition reaction.

Option B, Digestion

Explanation:

As the name suggest in a decomposition reaction a bigger chemical substance is broken down into simpler chemical substances.

For instance, during the process of digestion carbohydrates (CHO compounds) such as starch decomposes into glucose. Like wise protein decomposes into amino acids and complex fat molecule decomposes into simpler fat molecules. Thus, digestion is a decomposition reaction.

Thus, option b, digestion is the correct answer.

the two answers are a, the population of birds with large beaks will increase on the island, and c, the trait for large beaks will be passed on to future generations through natural selection. the reason for that is because if the birds that have beaks developed for eating small seeds lose all of their food, they will go hungry and eventually starve because they physically cannot eat the large seeds, therefore making the population of large beaked birds higher. also, if the trait of large beaks are dominant on the island over small beaks, then over time the large beaked birds will reproduce more and more, while the smaller beaked birds will reproduce less and less because they can't survive with the food provided. that leads to the trait of small beaks disappearing and the trait of large beaks taking over the island.
