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.

Answer:
A fault is found that cuts through lower rock layers but not those above it. What can most likely be concluded? The fault is the same age as the layers it cuts through, and the same age as the layers above it.
Explanation:
Answer:
Generation of an action potential in the neuron.
Stimulation of Ca2+ entry into the neuron
Release of acetylcholine into the synapse
Depolarization of the muscle fiber membrane
Explanation:
The following events takes place in the vertebrate neuromuscular junction
a) Nerve Action Potential - Action potential reaches the axon terminal
b) Entry of calcium ion - The calcium ion reaches the axon terminal and enter into the presynaptic terminus after which the Synaptic vesicles fuse with the membrane of axon terminal
c) Releasing of Arch Quanta - Acetylcholine is released into synaptic cleft which then binds to the receptor sites on motor end plate
d) The Na+/K+ channels opens and Motor end plate becomes depolarized.
<span>All living things are made up of cells, and depending on how complex the organism is, it may have one cell, like a bacterium, or trillions of cells, like humans. The question is, how does a fertilized human embryo with one cell develop into an adult with 5 trillion cells? The answer is in a process referred to as cell division. A single fertilized human egg cell will divide to produce two cells. The two cells have the same genetic information as each other and the parent cell. The cells will continue to divide until trillions of cells are produced. This is how a fertilized egg grows into a baby, and then an adult. This division of cells is referred to as mitosis.</span>
