If a mouse and a small lizard of the same mass (both at rest) were placed in experimental chambers under identical environmental

conditions, which animal would consume oxygen at a higher rate
Biology

Harman [31]2 years ago

The mouse, because it is an endotherm and therefore its basal metabolic rate is higher than the ectotherm lizard's standard metabolic rate.

<h3>What are endotherms and ectotherms?</h3>

Animals classified as ectotherms and endotherms employ several techniques to control body temperature.

Endotherms are recognized as warm-blooded creatures, whereas ectotherms are also referred to as cold-blooded creatures. Ectotherms and endotherms vary primarily in that endotherms control their body temperatures by sustaining bodily functions, but ectotherms depend on external sources like sunlight to do so. Ectotherms include invertebrates, fish, amphibians, and reptiles while endotherms include mammals and birds.

Answer:

The correct answer would be - oxygen will passively diffuse into the cells.

Explanation:

As the oxygen molecules are very small and has no polarity or no charge they show the passive diffusion through the plasma membrane from the higher concentration to lower concentration inside the cell.

In the lungs the oxygen diffuses out the air sacs into the blood as the air sacs of lungs have higher concentration of oxygen than the blood stream and as the various cells perform the aerobic cellular respiration the concentration of the oxygen inside of the cell become low to the blood so oxygen diffuses into cells.

Thus, the correct answer is - oxygen will passively diffuse into the cells.

n which environment would mineral formation caused by high pressures and high temperatures most likely occur?
Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:

when the flood or landslide flows theremnants of plants and animals are taken to the sea and ocean then due to high pressure and temperature they forms fossils in sedimentary rocks and due to the anaerobic condition under the fosdils gets decayed and it forms the layer of mineral. so we can say thatminerals are formed in anaerobic condition under sedimentary rocks.
