The animals that live in the Alpine biome have to have special adaptations to survive in it as this is a biome with very harsh conditions for big portion of the year. The temperatures are very low, the winds are strong, winter lasts for half a year or more, and there's lot of snow. All this has made the animals to develop certain traits to help them survive. Some of those adaptations are:
- thicker and longer fur for better isolation form the outside conditions
- wider paws with denser and tougher skin, helping them to move easier in the snow and avoid frostbite
- larger lungs and nostrils for easier breathing in the high altitudes
- stockier bodies so that heat can be preserved easier
- the ears and tails are small and rounded in order to avoid frost bite
- big portion of them are able to hibernate for several months
Answer:
O.
Explanation:
There are different types of soils and it is made up of different layers or horizon such as A, B, C, O, R and E. Together all the horizons forming soil profile. Each horizon containing different soil types.
O horizon: Known as top layer of the soil which contains layer of organic matter which is about two inches thick, and made up of humus such as decomposing leaves, dark-colored, carbon rich matter, twigs and microbial biomass which is mixed with small grained minerals for the formation of aggregate structures.
Answer:
have DNA, but are NOT large or complex
Explanation:
Cell membrane fluidity is determined by many things, including the presence of or absence of saturated and or unsaturated fatty acid tails, and because of that the ability of the phospholipids in a cell membrane to tightly pack together or not. I believe though in terms of an additional substance it would have to be cholesterol. These specific lipid molecules are inserted in between the phospholipids preventing phospholipids from tightly packing together thus allowing the cell membrane to have greater fluidity and flexibility.
They produce normal TNF-alpha protein
