Explanation:
Experimental design based on the factors mentioned
Check for availability of prey in same habitat as the Barn owl
Determine the type of prey available in the habitat because Owls feed mostly on small rodents like mice, vole e.t.c
If there is an abundance of prey, Check for the most common and easy to catch prey for an owl . considering the taste of the Barn owls while carrying out this experiment .
The Barn Owls feed mostly on Field voles to other kinds of rodents. therefore the availability and ease of catching a Field vole should be prioritized if they are readily available in the same habitat with the Barn Owls. if Field voles are not available the Barn owls can also feed on other rodents and smaller birds available .
Conclude your experiment
The diets of barn owls depend on the availability and abundance of prey, the energy requires to catch the specific prey, and taste preference based on its behavior.
What do you mean by Prey?Prey may be defined as an animal or any other organism that is hunted or killed by another animal for the purpose of food.
Barn owl decides its food on the basis of availability and abundance of prey because in order to survive barn owl checks the presence of a particular prey that are easily available and found in high number. Mostly barn owl prefers small species of rodents like mice, young one of rabbit, and sometimes birds.
Other than this it also depends on how much energy is required to catch the particular prey because if the energy is greater than that of benefit, barn owls eliminate this behavior.
And last barn owls choose those prey that is palatable in nature and have good taste. Bad taste or toxic taste is eliminated in nature.
Therefore, the diets of barn owls depend on the availability and abundance of prey, the energy requires to catch the specific prey, and taste preference based on its behavior.

The key characteristics of a well-designed test includes the following;
I. Standardization: it is important that test is set based on certain criteria and acceptable rules within the education community and curriculum.
II. Reliability: the questions contained in a test should be credible and backed by correct answers.
III. Validity: the test questions should be genuine and authentic across board.
However, brevity simply means succinctness or conciseness i.e the test should be brief and very short in duration.

Based on the context in paragraph 4, fossil refers to ____________.
a. how igneous rocks were formed over time
b. a trace or print, or the remains of a plant or animal of a past age preserved in Earth or rock
c. layers of sediment building up over time and pressing down, forming rock
4. Sedimentary rock is the second category. These rocks cover most of Earth’s land. Sedimentary rocks are made of pieces of other rocks and shells. Erosion causes rocks to slowly wear away. Erosion can be caused by rain, wind, freezing, and plant roots. Sometimes small pieces of rock are made because of erosion. The small pieces of rock are called sediment. Rivers take sediment to oceans and lakes. The river drops the sediments as it slows down. The sediments settle to the bottom in layers. More and more layers of sediment are dropped over millions of years. The weight from the top layers turns the bottom layers of sediments into rock. This makes some sedimentary rocks look layered. Fossils are often found in sedimentary rocks.
Answer:
b. a trace or print, or the remains of a plant or animal of a past age preserved in Earth or rock
Explanation:
Fossils are remains or prints of extinct species that are slowly filled in with sediment over time.

Why is cigaratte smoking injurious to health ?
Name the enzyme which is present in infants but may be absent in adults.
Explanation:
cigaratte smoking is injurious to health because it affects our lungs,heart and different internal organs of our body which is cause of cancer and other non curable diseases.
Answer:
During smoking the cigarettes fumes make the walls alveoli very thin which causes rupturing of alveoli. This reduces the surface area for gaseous exchange in lungs .
To make up for the reduces gaseous exchange the heart has to pump more blood.
