Answer: sleep on just one side of their brain at a time

Explanation: While sleeping, the dolphin shuts down only half of its brain together with the opposite eye while the other half of the brain stays awake at a minimum level of alertness. It uses its attentive side to watch for predators or obstacles. The dolphin also reverses this process to rest the active side of the brain and awake the rested half.

Answer:

They sleep on just one side of their brain at a time

Explanation:

Dolphins are different from fishes that can breathe underwater.

It is necessary for them to get to the surface of the water at intervals to breathe air.

While sleeping, dolphins allows one hemisphere of their brains fall asleep while the other half is fully conscious. This means that If the left brain is sleeping, the right eye stays open and if the right brain is sleeping, the left eye stays open.

This happens so they always know when it's time to surface and breathe and when to escape when there is trouble.

What type of environmental conditions do the camera systems need to withstand for three years?
nikklg [1K]

Cameras and video-shooters are essentially tough. They can withstand a lot, from insects to shark bites. However, in order to withstand being outside for such a long time of three years? That's a little tricky.

As we all know, the batteries can corrode if left in damp places, or if left in for too long. Therefor, this can't be damp. Nowadays, most cameras have plastic in various places, so leaving it somewhere hot could inevitably melt it. You don't want that. If your camera is left in the cold, (18°F, 10°C) then the batteries could be severely changed. If left in a cold place, the battery life could deplete by so much as half, so in very cold climates, you will very quickly run out of power.

In order for it to sustain 3 years, you will probably need to find a climates that is about 60°F (15.5556°C) in a drier location.

I hope this helped!

The bilayer is structured in such a way that it complements the extracellular fluid around the cell as well as the cytoplasm within the cell. This is because the extracellular fluid is hydrophillic, the outside of the membrane protein is hydrophillic, the middle of the membrane protein is hydrophobic, the inside of the cell (the cytoplasm) is hydrophillic and the inside of the membrane protein is hydrophillic.
