Ava observes that a certain species of bird follows behind a herd of cattle. The bird species primarily eats insects. The birds stay with the herd of cattle as they graze. What is a scientific hypothesis that Ava could formulate based on her observations?

There are insects associated with the cattle herd that serve as food for Ava.

Explanation:

The most logical hypothesis to deduce from the observation would be that the cattle herd has a kind of association with insects that happen to serve as food for the birds.

Usually, the body of cattle is plagued with different species of parasitic insects which obtain their foods and shelters from the animal. These parasitic insects will definitely be a food source for insect-predating birds. Hence, it follows logically that the Ava birds lurk behind the herd of cattle scouting for insects on the body of the cattle.

chemical energy is stored in the chemical bonds of atoms and molecules. it can only be seen when it is released in a chemical reaction. when chemical energy is released, the substance from which the energy came is often changed into an entirely different substance.

this chemical reaction releases energy in the form of light and heat. chemical energy is the potential energy stored in the arrangement of atoms within molecules. breaking chemical bonds requires energy, while forming new chemical bonds releases energy.

the atp molecule can store energy in the form of a high energy phosphate bond joining the terminal phosphate group to the rest of the molecule. in this form,energy can be stored at one location, then moved from one part of the cell to another, where it can be released to drive other biochemical reactions.

the answer is   c.) 1575 j.
