Answer:
A) to increase the production of ATP
Explanation:
Brown fat cells have numerous mitochodria that have the uncoupling protein 1 (UCP-1). This protein is used to dissipate the proton-motive force generating heat (becomes important during cold temperatures) and uncoupling oxidative phosphorylation.
<span>Plants and animals become agents of mechanical weathering when their growth, activities or movements expose rocks to the weathering actions of wind, rain and ice. The roots of plants, particularly large trees, can shift the soil and lift or crack rocks that block their paths.</span>
Factors b,d,e,g are favorable to fossil formation and preservation.
<span>Hard bodies are more easily preserved; rivers and oceans deposit muds that keep bodies intact for long times after death; large population and long existence provide more opportunity for fossils to form; and a low oxygen content impedes decay and inhibits predators. </span>
<span>Factors a,c,f,h are unfavorable to fossil formation and preservation. </span>
<span>Thus, Organism E with 4 positive factors is number 1 -- has the top chance of forming a fossil. </span>
<span>Organism D with 4 negative factors would be number 5 -- has very little chance of forming fossils. </span>
<span>Of the other 3, all have soft bodies, so are "disadvantaged" compared to E...but </span>
<span>Organism A has no OTHER disadvantages, so is probably number 2 (second best fossil chance). </span>
<span>Organism C has ALMOST everything going against it -- despite its large population and long existence, it has no other positive factors -- so I'd put it at number 4 (second worst). </span>
<span>To summarize, my rankings are </span>
<span>1. E, 2. A, 3. B, 4. C, 5. D</span>
