The cold-blooded animals need to bask in sunshine before they can move as quickly as warm-blooded animals on a cold day because it increases their rate of metabolism.

<h3>What are cold-blooded animals?</h3>

Cold-blooded animals are those animals that are not able to regulate and maintain their internal body temperature when there is change in the external environment.

Example of cold-blooded animals are snakes and turtles. They expose themselves to sunlight to help them with their body metabolism.

Therefore, the cold-blooded animals need to bask in sunshine before they can move as quickly as warm-blooded animals on a cold day because it increases their rate of metabolism.

Which of the following will be expected to be activated during times of prolonged starvation? (select all correct answers)
Scilla [17]

Answer:

Option A

Option D

Option F

Explanation:

During the process of continuous starvation for a long period of time, the primary source of energy in body is hepatic gluconeogenesis which is responsible for producing endogenous glucose. Also lipolysis takes place in the adipose tissue to release fatty acid which is then converted into ketone bodies through though mitochondrial β oxidation and ketogenesis. The liver communicates with extrahepatic tissues, including adipose tissue and skeletal muscle and deliver glucose and ketone bodies to muscle and other extrahepatic tissues as fuels.  

Hence, option A, D and F are true.

What types of molecules may not need transport proteins to be able to cross cytoplasmic membranes?
frozen [14]

The correct answer is small hydrophobic molecules.

The smaller the molecule and the more hydrophobic, or nonpolar, it is, the more rapidly it will diffuse across a membrane. It is because of the composition of membrane (lipid bilayer). By contrast, membrane is highly impermeable to charged molecules (ions), no matter how small they are.

The mitochondrion, like the nucleus, has two or more membrane layers. How is the innermost of these layers different from that o
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

The double membrane of the mitochondria is highly folded,and therefore wider when unfolded than that of the nucleus.This is an adaptive feature  to increase the surface area for reactions (electrochemical  gradient) by accommodating protons pumped into it by the proton motive force(PMF)  from the matrix to set up the electrochemical gradients needed to generate the energy needed by ATPase synthase enzymes for ATPs synthesis.

Required number of protons needed to be accommodated by the double membrane to generate enough energy for ATPase synthesis,therefore larger surface area is needed.
