List the steps of how a squirrel hibernates.

Biology
1 answer:
hoa [83]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

1. First of all, a squirrel would make sure to stash lots of food before and during the winter.

2. The squirrel would claim its own tree hollow/burrow.

3. They wrap themselves into a tight ball and go into a state of torpor (Torpor is a state where their body temperature becomes about the same temperature as their surrounding hibernaculum. This causes their heart rate to slow and causes them to use less energy)

4. Squirrels get up after 20 or so days to rewarm themselves up, and perhaps eat something to regain their energy. After that they will head back to their hibernaculum to continue hibernation.

5. When spring approaches they will fully wake up, go eat, regain their energy, and prepare themselves for the mating season.

Hope this helps :)

The information from messenger RNA is used to create polypeptide sequences during the process of _____.​
polet [3.4K]

Answer:

Translation

Explanation:

The translation is the process during which the nucleotide sequence of the mRNA is read in the form of genetic codes. The nucleotide sequence of mRNA is complementary to the template DNA strand. According to the sequence of the nucleotides in the mRNA, the amino acids are added in a specific order to make the polypeptide chains. The process occurs on ribosomes. The ribosomes move along the mRNA to read its sequence and the tRNA brings are amino acids to be added to the polypeptide chains.

How does Inquiry differ from the Scientific Method?
cupoosta [38]

Answer:

B. Inquiry is more open ended, while the Scientific Method is more linear.

Explanation:

Scientific investigations involve asking questions and providing answer to them. Scientists use data from observations to proffer solutions to problems. Scientific inquiry and scientific method are used in this regard, however, they are not the same.

One of the notable differences between the scientific inquiry and method is that:

- Scientific method is a step by step, linear structured way of solving problems whereas scientific inquiry does not follow a linear pattern. In other words, inquiry is more open ended, while the scientific method is more linear.

Which statement correctly compares the body’s energy storage molecules? Glycogen is the body’s main source of energy, but lipids
Artemon [7]

The correct answer is Glycogen is the body’s main source of energy, but lipids contain most of the body’s stored energy.

The glycogen  is a polymer of the glucose. The carbohydrates are the main source of the energy in our body. The glucose that is left after the normal energy utilisation by the body is converted into the glycogen and stored at various location, but the most of the energy reserves of our body lies in the fats, which is stored in form of lipids.

What technological design allowed scientists to determine differences in the internal structures of plants and animal cells?
enot [183]

<u>Answer</u>:

Different types of magnifying technology like light microscopy and electron microscopy helped scientist to determine differences in the internal structures of plant and animal cells.

<u>Explanation</u>:

Human eyes can only see up to 1 mm in range. Plants and animal cells are very small which cannot be seen by the naked eye. For this reason, microscopes have been used to see enlarged structures of cells with the help of a compound microscope or electron microscope.

Light microscope can only magnify up to 1000x time to see the details of the cell but electron microscopes can magnify up to 100,000x times. The cells to be examined for the internal structures are cut into fine slices with the help of ultramicrotome and visualized under transformation or scanning electron microscope.
