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.

natita [175]

Answer:

Answer B. Endosymbiosis

Explanation:

Early protists were first eukaryotic organisms and had several membrane bound organelles. The anaerobic protists evolved by acquiring purple bacteria. The purple bacteria have the ability to carry out aerobic cellular respiration. The endosymbiont transformed into mitochondria in due course of evolution. Similarly, the photosynthesizing protists were evolved by endosymbiosis of cyanobacteria which in turn was transformed into chloroplast during further evolution.
