Hello! Your answer would be C, They regulate body temperature through behavioral mechanisms.

An endothermic animal is one which is capable of maintaining its own body temperature. They do this through physiological mechanisms, which is what the last choice is saying - these involve things such as hormones, sweating, etc.

These endothermic animals are considered warm blooded. This is because they can make their own body heat. Humans and other mammals are endothermic. We generate our own heat - we don't rely on sunbathing or shade to cool down or heat up our <u>internal</u> body temperature.

Hope this helps!

What part of the female system is the usual site of fertilization of the ovulated oocyte?.

Paul [167]

Fertilization of the egg cell by the sperm usually takes place in the fallopian tube. The fertilized egg then travels to the uterus and implants in the endometrium.

<h3>What are fallopian tubes?</h3>

Fallopian tubes are also called oviducts or uterine tubes. It is the passage through which the egg enters the uterine cavity from the ovary.
Fallopian tubes are part of the reproductive tract. They have a smooth muscle wall, an inner mucous membrane, and an outer layer of loose supporting tissue (serosa).

<h3>Why does fertilization take place in the fallopian tubes?</h3>

The fallopian tube (oviduct) regulates fertilization through sperm induction and sperm hyperactivity. Sperm induction is achieved by rheotaxis, thermotaxis, and chemotaxis. Rheotaxis is caused by tubal fluid that creates a current flow from the tubal ampulla to the tubal isthmus.

Assume that a certain prokaryote is shaped like a ball, lives deep under the water on the ocean floor, and consumes dead organis

natulia [17]

That prokaryote is <span>Psychrophile, a coccus and a decomposer.

1)The prokaryote is</span> shaped like a ball or generally has a round shape so it's called a coccus (Cocci in plural). This is one out of three terms, that are used to name bacteria. The other ones are bacillus and spiral. For example, Staphylococcus aureus is a bacteria that has a round shape but it's formed by more that one ball, that together look like a bunch of grapes.

2) This organism lives deep under the water, so it's named as a psychrophile or cryophile. This means they can live and reproduction at extremely low temperatures(-20ºC), and some places with those temperatures are the polar regions and the deep sea.

3) This prokaryote consumes dead organisms so it's classified as a decomposer.
Decomposers are organisms that can break down dead or decaying organisms. The process is an essential part of the nutrient cycle and is important for recycling the organic matter that occupies space in the biosphere.
