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.

The plasma membrane represents an energetic barrier to the free diffusion of ions from the extracellular space into the cytoplas
Marysya12 [62]

Answer:

Why are molecules such as valinomycin effective at transporting ions across the membrane?

Valinomycin is effective as transporting ions across the membrane because it is no charged, so it can carry ions.

Why would a drop in temperature to or below the transition temperature limit valinomycin mediated K+ transport across the plasma membrane?

Valinomycin is limited by temperature because its activity is highly sensitive and it depends on a stable and an average temperature.

Explanation:

Valinomycin is effective at transporting ion across the membrane because is an antibiotic that alternates hydroxy and amino acid, ans it helps membranes to be permeable. Valinomycin is a cyclic molecule that helps in ions transportation through membranes. Also, antibiotics have a temperature range of activity, that's why it is sensitive to changes.

What happens during meiosis I and meiosis II?
makvit [3.9K]

Answer: In meiosis I, homologous chromosomes partitioned, whereas in meiosis II, sister chromatids isolated. Meiosis II produces 4 haploid girl cells, though Meiosis I produces 2 diploid girl cells. Hereditary recombination (crossing over) as it were happens in meiosis I.

3. (b) How does crossing over increase the variation in the gametes (and hence the offspring)?
sasho [114]

Answer:

During crossing over, part of one chromosome is exchanged with another. The result is a hybrid chromosome with a unique pattern of genetic material. Gametes gain the ability to be genetically different from their neighboring gametes after crossing over occurs.
