Answer: option B.
The nervous system signals the endocrine system to release
hormones in response to a stimulus.
Explanation:
The nervous system respond to stimulus through action potentials and neurotransmitters and they signals the endocrine system to secrete hormones.
The endocrine system is responsible for secreting hormones into the blood which is transported to the target cells. These hormones are responsible for metabolism , growth and response to stress. The hormones secreted provide feedback to the brain so as to affect neural processing.
Hibernation helps animals survive the changing seasons. Foods that bears eat, such as berries and flowers, are much less available during cold winter months. When they hibernate, bears enter a deep sleep. ... While they sleep, the bears can survive because their bodies live off of their stored fat or food.
During hibernation, the animal’s body temperature, heart rate and breathing rate all drop to significantly lower levels. Animals do this to survive the winter because the weather is cold and food is scarce. It is advantageous because these animals can quite literally shut themselves off for weeks at a time rather than try and survive through harsh weather conditions.
While many people think bears are hibernators, they actually participate in a similar, though not exact, practice. Instead of hibernating, bears fall into a deep sleep called torpor. During torpor, heart rate and breathing rate decreases, body temperature reduces slightly and bears do not eat or release bodily waste. Bears can sleep more than 100 days without eating, drinking, or passing waste!
Bears sleep in dens that they make themselves, as well as in hollow trees, caves and dens built by other bears. A den can be built in 3–7 days, however, the timing of den building varies from bear to bear. While some bears build their dens months before hibernation season, others choose to excavate their dens.
These animals can dramatically drop their body temperature to below freezing—salty body fluids work to prevent tissue crystallization in particularly cold temperatures.
So really, animals that are true hibernators don’t actually sleep through the entire winter.
The urea produced by their fat metabolism is broken down and the nitrogen is re-used by the bear to rebuild protein.
The reason as to why fungi fossils seem so rare is that they are usually microscopic and often difficult or impossible to identify.
Not much information on fungi fossils has been documented. This could be because fungi fruiting bodies consist of soft, fleshy and easily degradable tissues which due to their poor integrity do not keep or preserve as well as animal tissue.
Even when available, it takes a trained eye to recognize fungal fossils. Not many people have the training and expertise to recognize the fossils.
The best answer to the question 'What are the nonliving components of the environment that shape an ecosystem?' would be letter d. Abiotic factors are those components of the environment that are non-living or does not have life. All the other choices have life.
