Multiple Choice

The picture below shows a camel. Camels have large fatty humps on their back that allow them to live in dry climates. These humps allow camels to live in dry climates for all of the following reasons EXCEPT —

• They hold large sacs of stored water.

• They accumulate fat on only one part of the body so the camel stays cool.

• They break down and release water for the camel's body.

• They provide energy storage for limited food.

Multiple Choice

Some animals migrate, or seasonally move to a different place. In some bird populations, such as Canada geese, some birds migrate and some stay in the same area year-round. Migration can enhance the survival of individuals because it —

• causes adaptations to occur more frequently.

• helps them avoid predators.

• exerts a lot of energy.

• makes finding necessary resources more likely.

Multiple Choice

A population of birds has many small variations among its population. Variations in beak size would affect their survival most if the —

• type of food available in the area changes.

• size of nesting areas decreases.

• amount of water available in the area decreases.

• weather changes.
