Answer:

Muscles can also receive messages from the brain when the body temperature decreases. They respond by shivering. Shivering causes the muscles to contract and relax quickly. This process generates heat.

Anna71 [15]

Answer:

Answer is option A.

Orchid bees are to Brazil nut trees as breezes are to pine trees.

Explanation:

In Brazil nut trees, the female orchid bees act as pollinators that help in pollination. In pine trees, wind or breeze helps in pollination.

Pine trees are gymnosperms and so they do not have flowers to attract pollinators like bees or butterflies or birds. They are wind-pollinated. Pine trees are monoecious i.e., both male and female reproductive structures (pine cones) are present on the same tree.

The male cones (catkins) produce pollen grains that are lightweight, less sticky and have air bladders or small wing-like structures. As a result of these features, the pollen grains can be easily carried and dispersed by the breeze. In order to prevent self pollination (pollen falling on the female cones of the same tree), the male cones are normally located on the lower branches of the pine tree.  

The female cones are located on the upper branches of the tree and the center of the cone contains eggs or ovules. The pollen grains that are carried by the wind, fall on the female cone of another pine tree. Each pollen grain grows a pollen tube into the center of the cone and the nucleus cell of the pollen travels through the tube and reaches the egg, where it combines with the egg to form an embryo. The embryo eventually grows into a seed. The seeds of pine trees are then dispersed by wind or animals such as squirrels.

Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

A possible hypothesis would be:

IF a yeast cell is supplied with maltose sugar, THEN it would yield the greatest amount of energy when metabolized by bacteria

Explanation:

The hypothesis is a testable explanation aimed at providing a theoretical explanation to a question. The hypothesis is a predictive statement about the possible solution, which can be tested. A hypothesis must be testable via experimentation. It often has an IF, THEN format.

Hence, in the case experiment where a student wanted to know which sugar (maltose, glucose or sucrose) would yield the greatest amount of energy for the cell when metabolized by mitochondria. A possible hypothesis of this experiment will be that: IF a yeast cell is supplied with maltose sugar, THEN it would yield the greatest amount of energy when metabolized by bacteria

Note that, this hypothesis must be testable by conducting an experiment and it doesn't have to be true. It can be disproved or proved by the outcome of the experiment. In this case, the hypothesis is giving an educated guess that maltose is the sugar that will yield the greatest amount of energy for yeast cells
