As the bear enters hibernation, its metabolic processes such as body temperature, heart rate, and respiratory rate are reduced. But bears do not lower the body temperature as much as once thought. Their hibernation temperature is around 88 degrees and waking temperature is 100 degrees F. This relatively high sleeping temperature allows bears to become fully alert if aroused, perhaps to enable the bear to protect itself from predators and other dangers without unnecessarily taxing their energy reserves. Over the course of a hibernating season it is thought that bears use approximately 4 thousand calories a day, which results in a weight loss of about 20 percent of it body weight by spring.
Basically it helps with reproduction in flowers by carrying a male gamete from one flower to another and then fertilizing in cross-pollination with the pistil of another flower.
hope this helps :)
Answer:
The right answer is (B) the extracted lipids cover twice the surface area of the intact red blood cells.
Explanation:
To explain this statement is necessary to take into consideration the structure of a lipid. On the first place lipids that form membranes are called phospholipids, this means they have one 'head' that is hydrophilic and a tail composed by the lipidic chain that is hydrophobic.
In a biologic context, the phospholipids form the cellular membrane. They do so by a bi-layer disposition, meaning that one the external side of the cell there is a layer of phospholipids with the hydrophilic head and in the internal side, there is a second layer of phospholipids with the hydrophilic head. The hydrophobic 'tails' are in the middle. This disposition is due to the fact that both the external and the internal environments are water based.
Therefore, since each cell has a bilayer membrane of phospholipids, when the cells are dissolved and all the lipids that used to form the membrane are put together, they will occupy twice the surface of the red blood cells.
