You encounter two populations of the same species of slope ivy on a mountain. population a is found in a humid valley. its leaves are broad and thin, which maximizes sun exposure. population b is found higher on the mountain, where the air is dry. its leaves are thicker and narrower, which minimizes water loss through evaporation. you don't know how often seeds move between these populations. which of the following do you know to be true, based on the information provided?

(a) wide, thin leaves are an adaptation in population a
(b) narrow, thick leaves are an adaptation in population b.
(c) leaf differences are due to acclimation of one or both populations of ivy to different environments
(d) in this example there is not enough information to distinguish acclimation from adaptation

Is this a question? i'm confused

Iam not sure but to me it with be a or dsorry if i was late! hope this ! : )if you really want me to find out the answer that is correct tell me and i will do more research but the a or d makes sense to me.

Hunting in the darksome fish rely on senses beyond sight. in the darkness of the marianas trench, a fish called the rattail has an extremely sensitive sense of smell. the fish uses scent, rather than sight, to steer toward food. once it's near food, the rattail uses a special organ on the bottom of its chin to guide itself by feel.marine snowone staple of the deep sea diet is "marine snow," flakes of organic, edible substances that sink down from the upper ocean. animals at the ocean's bottom find sustenance in everything from the bodies of dead creatures to fecal matter. marine snow is diverse enough to support numerous species. for instance, several species of snails and worms feed exclusively on deceased whales.microorganismsthe deep sea is an intricate ecosystem, and even the ocean floor itself plays a part. hydrothermal vents are cracks in the sea floor where erupting magma mixes with ocean water to produce plumes of hot, sulfur-rich chemicals. some microbes can use these chemicals for energy, sustaining their existence and that of the animals who depend on their roles in the deep sea food chain.
