Option (A) Torpor is the correct answer

Organisms that undergo hibernation have the ability to slow down their metabolism so as to lower the core temperature. This process is known as Torpor.

<h3>Why is torpor important for organisms undergoing hibernation?</h3>

Torpor is a state in animals where they lower all their metabolic activities and bodily functions so as to keep the body temperature low.

It is done by the animals to conserve resources in conditions where scarcity of food is there.

Some birds undergo torpor to conserve fat in the body.

Some animals use this technique of torpor to survive competition with other species.

These organisms come back to normal physiology when the conditions become favorable.

Where is air almost completely humidified? in the lungs in the trachea in the alveoli in the nose?
motikmotik
None of the provided choices provide a completely correct answer. In fact, 75% of humidification takes place in the nose and mouth, with the rest taking place in the trachea. When you breath in, mucous membranes inside the nose and mouth release moisture to air. It is estimated that the average adult evaporates 200 to 300 ml of water per day during this process. The process is very efficient: while  breathing in through nose or mouth, the mucous membranes are cooled down.  During breathing out, this cooling effect causes condensation of some of the moisture in the air coming from the lungs, thereby moisturizing the mucous membranes
