What prediction can you make about the impact of these threats on the resident populations versus the transient populations?

the resident populations are more likely affected by these threats because of their proximity to shore.

the resident populations and the transient populations are likely to be equally affected by these threats.

the transient populations are more likely affected by these threats because of their distance from shore.

neither the resident populations nor the transient populations are likely to be affected by these threats in the future.

A) The resident populations are more likely affected by these threats because of their proximity to shore.

Explanation:

All of these threats are higher in coastal regions.

As contaminants usually reach the ocean through rivers or because of coastal cities, the highest degree of pollution is there. All chemicals will accumulate in this region first, before they disperse into the offshore region. This is also caused by the fact that the coastal waters have a lower volume and surface area than the offshore which results in a higher degree of contamination.

photosynthesis makes the glucose that is used in cellular respiration to make atp. the glucose is then turned back into carbon dioxide, which is used in photosynthesis. while water is broken down to form oxygen during photosynthesis, in cellular respiration oxygen is combined with hydrogen to form water.

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.
