Answer:

Means to increase drag and prevent sinking is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Plankton avoid sinking by increasing their surface area and decreasing their density. Spines slow down sinking by adding surface area without increasing density. Defense against predation would be to sing below. Not the opposite.

1. How does the body adjust to a higher altitude?
Anni [7]

During acclimatization over a few days to weeks, the body produces more red blood cells to counteract the lower oxygen saturation in blood in high altitudes. Full adaptation to high altitude is achieved when the increase of red blood cells reaches a plateau and stops.Heart rate is controlled by the two branches of the autonomic (involuntary) nervous system. The sympathetic nervous system (SNS) and the parasympathetic nervous system (PNS). ... At the beginning of exercise, your body removes the parasympathetic stimulation, which enables the heart rate to gradually increase.
