Which of the following is NOT an adaptation created through the process of natural selection?
Small birds like that in (Figure 1) can migrate over long
distances without feeding, storing energy mostly as fat
rather than carbohydrate. Fat is a good form of energy
storage because it provides the most energy per unit
mass: 1.00 grams of fat provides about 9.40 (food)
Calories, compared to 4.20 (food) Calories per 1.00
grams of carbohydrate. Remember that Calories
associated with food, which are always capitalized, are
not exactly the same as calories used in physics or
chemistry, even though they have the same name. More
specifically, one food Calorie is equal to 1000 calories of
mechanical work or 4184 joules. Therefore, in this
problem use the conversion factor 1 Cal = 4184 J.

average rate of 3.70 W (this rate represents the power consumption of the bird). Assume that the bird consumes
