Which of the following statements about amphibians is true? A. Amphibians are represented by about 500 species of frogs, toads, and salamanders. B. Populations of amphibians in a few local areas have declined dramatically in the last few decades. C. Amphibians lay their eggs in dry, sandy areas close to a source of water. D. Their moist, absorptive skin makes amphibians very susceptible to environmental contaminants. E. Scientists increasingly perceive amphibians to be fair-weather species.

B. Populations of amphibians in a few local areas have declined dramatically in the last few decades

Explanation:

The continuous, low-level extinction of species that has occurred throughout  the World and at least six species of frogs have not been seen for one to three decades and also it has recently been discovered that some species of salamander-specific chytrid has gone into extinction

on island x the species needed to adapt because they were being subject to predators which didn't inhabit island y.  

answer: the correct option is d. enzyme

lactase and carbonic anhydrase are the examples of enzymes.

lactase is an enzyme, which is present in the small intestine of mammals. it in the digestion of the disaccharide, lactose ( milk sugar) by converting it into two monosachharide, which are glucose and galactose.

carbonic anhydrase is present in the red blood cells. this enzyme plays significant role in the transport of co₂. it in the conversion of co₂ and h₂o into carbonic acid, which is then dissociated into bicarbonate ions and hydrogen ions.
