Why are the feet of some birds different from other birds? (i.e.) duck and eagle

My journal is a good study tool in preparing for tests. True or False
True. If you have been answering all of the journal prompts and taking good, thorough lab notes, your journal can help you prepare for tests.

How do constants make an experiment more valid?
Constants limit the results of an experiment to be the result of the independent variable only. Constants make it possible to test one thing at a time and therefore make the experiment and its results more valid.How do constants make an experiment more valid?
