Document Summary

Evolution and the themes of evolution, global challenges that require a biological solution: Human activities such as burning of fossil fuels is threatening water quality. Burning fossil fuels leads to co2 emission, which is absorbed by the atmosphere and rains down; oceans become more acidic due to increase in. Results in a loss of biological diversity: organism"s environmental adaption result from evolution: Wings of the sea gull, aerodynamically efficient in shape and strong but light weight in internal structure. Finches of galapagos: different beak structures for different functions. Giraffe"s usually feed on lower grounds and not necessarily on tall trees: sexual competition in context if giraffes long neck hypothesis. Evolved long necks because longer necked males win more fights than shorter neck giraffes and can father more offspring : identify predictions based on a hypothesis. 16:55: describe how living organisms are subject to basic laws of physics and chemistry, give examples:
