Over many generations, the fur on polar bears mutated white to help the bears hide better in the snow.

1 answer:

8 0

True.
Polar bears evolved from the brown bear. Their fur mutated from dark to adapt to the colder climate and to hide in the snow. Probably, in the past, there were some bears with mutated lighter fur. This trait allowed them to survive so that mutated gene was transmitted to the next generations. Lighter fur allowed them to retain body heat and better to hide during hunting. White bears had a higher fitness than brown bears in the cold climate, so generations later, all polar bears were white.

Muscular exercise presents a dramatic test of the body's homeostatic control systems because it results in large amounts of heat production.

Homeostatic control systems- A body's physiological ability to maintain a steady internal environment in response to changes in the external environment is known as homeostasis.

Heat Production- The term "thermogenesis" refers to the process through which energy is lost by producing heat with specialization.

Energy- In biology, cells frequently store energy in macromolecules, especially lipids and carbohydrates (sugars). When chemical bonds are formed, such as during the redox reactions of cellular aerobic respiration, energy is released.

Redox Reactions- A reaction that happens when an oxidizing material and a reducing substance come into contact.

Identify the correct order of events that allow nutrients from foods to be used by the body. Group of answer choices digestion,

Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

The correct answer is- digestion, absorption, transport, elimination

Explanation:

The process of digestion starts from the mouth with the help of enzymes called salivary amylase present in our saliva. The food then passes through the esophagus to the stomach.

In the stomach, the food is broken down in small fragments by churning movement which mixes digestive enzymes and food to form chyme.

This chyme is passed to the small intestine where several enzymes from the liver and pancreas digest the food in smaller particles and absorb these particles in the blood. Therefore absorption takes place in the small intestine.

Then the solid waste material left behind after absorption is transported from small intestine to the large intestine and from large intestine waste is eliminated out of the body.

Therefore the correct order are: digestion → absorption→ transport→ elimination.
