Which statement best describes why an organism is less active when the temperature is too low?

Biology
1 answer:
Elina [12.6K]3 years ago

The organisms activity is unaffected when temperatures are low because they can just adjust to it

Explanation:

Different organisms adapt differently to survive and thrive in various atmospheric conditions including extreme weather conditions.

Organisms undergo adaptation of thermoregulation to regulate their body temperature  in accordance with the temperature of its surrounding. Accordingly, organisms are classified as endothermic or ectothermic. Thermoregulation process helps the organism to maintain body homeostasis.

Human body maintains a constant body temperature even when the external temperature is too high or too low.

When the temperature is less, heat loss through evaporation is less and hence less energy is consumed.

Various animals undergo adaptations like hibernation or dormancy to conserve their limited energy sources during low temperature periods.

Neurotransmitters are ________. Group of answer choices chemicals that cross the synaptic gap and bind to receptors on another n
Hoochie [10]

Answer:

chemicals that cross the synaptic gap and bind to receptors on another neuron

found only in the central nervous system (the brain and spinal cord)

Explanation:

Neurotransmitters are defined as the chemicals that is transported from a nerve cell across the synaptic gap to the receptor of another neuron or a target cell such as a gland cell or a muscle cell.

Neurotransmitters are generated in the central nervous system (the brain and spinal cord) and are stored in synaptic vesicles.

"Hence, the correct answer is:

chemicals that cross the synaptic gap and bind to receptors on another neuron

found only in the central nervous system (the brain and spinal cord)".

Methanol poisoning occurs when the body converts a large amount of methanol to harmful chemicals that attack the optic nerves, l
Triss [41]

Answer:

Ethanol is most likely to be a (B), competitive inhibitor.

Explanation:

The poisoing occurs because of the harmful metabolites produced by the alcohol dehydrogenases, enzymes in charge of breaking down alcohol.

Hence, the most likely strategy of an antidote is to compete for the active site of the enzyme and prevent the methanol convertion to harmful chemicals.

Ethanol does not produce these metabolites and it is preferentially proccessed by the body, so it is a competitive inhibitor, competing for the active site.

What differs among DNA structures of different species?
weqwewe [10]

Answer:

D) the arrangement of the nucleotides within genes

Explanation:

De-oxy ribo nucleic acid that is basically a polymer of nucleotides. Nucleotides are composed of three basic units: a de-oxyribose sugar unit, a phosphate group and nitrogenous bases that can be Adenine, Gunanine, Thymine and Cytosine.Adenine always pairs with Thymine and Guanine always pairs with Cytosine.

This is a universal composition of DNA in each and every living organism. The genes are a segment of DNA that contain specific sequence of nucleotides and encode for a specific trait of organism such as height, weight, eye color etc. The sequence of nucleotides expresses the trait in the form of protein product during the process of Translation. The products of translation are amino acids and every amino acids encode for a specific protein  in almost  all living organisms.

So, what differs in the specie is the sequence of nucleotides in genes. Infact this is the nucleotide sequence which brings evolution in organism and organisms evolve to form new specie with the passage of time. One major cause of change in nucleotide sequence is mutations due to which the organisms change with time.

Suppose the sequence of nucleotide of specific gene in organism A is

AAGGGGAAATTT

However in other specie organism B of same specie is:

TAGGGGAAATTT

This means only mutation of one base changed the gene in organism B and also its product called protein.

Hope it help!
