Which adaptation is used by polar bears to maintain internal homeostasis in cold temperatures?

Biology
1 answer:
MaRussiya [10]3 years ago
6 0
What polar bears do to keep their temperature at a steady pace in cold temperatures is that they eat enough food to have a steady source and supply/constant amount of fat. Fat acts as an insulating agent and bears have plenty of it. This also explain why a lot of other animals who live in very cold climates have a lot of fat on their bodies.

Answer:

Convergent Evolution

Explanation:

Convergent evolution is the development of similar traits, across many lineages by plants and animals who originally do not have these traits but developed them because of the biome that they find themselves. Carnivorous plants are examples of living things that have undergone carnivorous evolution.

Plants lacking in Nitrogen have undergone carnivorous evolution for up to seven lineages. Sundews for instance have developed flypaper traps, a carnivorous property that helps them trap insects that they eventually digest.

Once a neuron is stimulated and the membrane potential is depolarized, the depolarized axonal membrane is helped to return to it
Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

The cell membrane separates the cell from the outer environment. The extracellular fluid contains the sodium ions (Na+), chloride ions (Cl-), while intracellular fluid contains potassium (K +) and negative anions.

The potential difference arises when the membrane is selectively permeable to some ions. The resting potential is -70mV.  

When the neurons get excited, the sodium ions start to enter by sodium channels.  

Now there are more positive ions inside the cell membrane. It disturbs the resting potential i.e. -70mV. This stage is known as depolarization.

When the inside environment of the cell is more positively charged, the potassium ions start to move out of the cell. It goes out by the voltage-gated channels. Thus resting stage is maintained and it is known as repolarization.

But the initial stability of the cell membrane has to be maintained. To restore the resting stage, the sodium ions start to move out of the membrane and potassium ions enter into the cells again. This is an active transport and has done by the Na+ - K+ pump. Here 3 sodium ions move out and 2  potassium ions pumped into the cell through the plasma membrane.  

Thus the resting potential regains. The potassium ions come back into the cells against the concentration gradient and ATP provides the energy for this phenomena.

Paraphin [41]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

This ensures that the research is corroborated by other scientists and is peer-reviewed hence increasing the veracity of the findings. This also ensures that conflict of interest is addressed whereby the findings by the company may appear to be compromised or biased because such a finding would be in favour of their own needs (such as financial gain).  Peer review in such case is  even more important because it involves humans subjects and ethics are paramount in healthcare research.
