Coprophagy is important for the nutritional balance of rabbits and their relatives.

The behaviors of the rabbit, rat, mouse, hamster, guinea pig and chinchilla have all been linked to coprophagy, which is the act of an animal re-consuming its own discharged excrement. Cecotrophy is a better name for it.

The omnivorous rats, mice, and hamster display cecotrophy to a lesser level than herbivores' hindgut fermenters like the rabbit, guinea pig, and chinchilla. In order to boost the supply of folic acid and vitamin B12, it may rise during pregnancy and lactation.

Coprophagy is an intrinsic behavior triggered by the reflex, despite the fact that modern diets make it unnecessary for survival.

7. What is the kinetic energy of a 3-kilogram ball that is rolling at 2 meters per second?

nydimaria [60]

Kinetic energy = 0.5*M*V^2

Q7-

0.5*3*(2^2)= 6J

Q8a-

0.5*2*(2^2)= 4J
0.5*4*(3^2)=18J
the second ball has more kinetic energy.

Q8b-

at the max height, all the kinetic energy is converted to potential energy,

gravitational potential energy is = M*g*h

that theory would apply if you wanted to work out the maximum height achieved if the balls were thrown upward by rearranging. But, we are simply working out which ball will have more potential energy so:

First ball:
2kg*9.81(g)*10m = 196.2J

Second ball
4kg*9.81*10m= 392.4J

The second ball has more potential energy

Which metabolic pathway requires a proton gradient?

Ad libitum [116K]

Oxidative phosphorylation requires a proton gradient.

Cells use enzymes to oxidize foods in the metabolic pathway known as oxidative phosphorylation, electron transport-linked phosphorylation, or terminal oxidation, which releases chemical energy to create adenosine triphosphate.
This happens inside mitochondria in eukaryotes. The majority of the energy required for biosynthesis, maintaining a healthy ion balance, and mechanical effort is provided by oxidative phosphorylation, which is the principal source of ATP in higher animals.
A succession of proteins and electron carriers in the mitochondrial membrane, as well as the electron transport chain, are all involved in the process of oxidative phosphorylation.

When an organism perceives a threat, the fight-or-flight response is due to?

tigry1 [53]

The fight or flight response is most likely because of stress as this response usually occurs or happens when an individual is experiencing stress and when he or she is likely exposed to stimulus that will result the person to feel stressed and worn out.
