Which of the following best describes an elliptical galaxy? interstellar dust and gases forming a smooth circular pattern several billion stars arranged in a smooth flat manner a group of stars forming recognizable patterns in the night sky millions of planets arranged in the shape of a disk with spiraling arms

Several billion stars arranged in a smooth flat manner    

Explanation:

A galaxy can be defined as a large group of stars which are gravitationally  bound. A typical galaxy contains billions of stars and interstellar dust and gases. Galaxies can be classified on the basis of their shape. An elliptical galaxy has billions of stars arranged in a smooth flat featureless manner. In a spiral galaxy, there is dense bulge at the center with spiral arms.

as the gila monster consumes the eggs or young of the desert cottontail and gambel's quail, thus its main food supply is only accessible for a restricted time duration every year. however, for this, the gila monsters exhibit three adaptations, which elevate their survival rate in the desert condition.  

first, is that they possess huge bodies, and can consume greater concentrations of food during a small period. secondly, they require to feed infrequently as they can accumulate fat in their tails. ultimately, their rate of metabolism is very low, so that they can burn their reservoirs of fat gradually.
