Answer:

By panting or breathing heavily.

Explanation:

<em>An ectothermic animal is one whose body temperature depends on the temperature of the external environment.</em>

The body of ectotherms regulates temperature depending on the temperature of the external environment where such animal finds itself.

Hence, when the temperature of the external environment rises as a result of hot air, the body of an ectotherm (that is homeothermic, that is, maintain a relatively constant body temperature irrespective of the temperature of the external environment) will adjust so as to keep its temperature relatively constant.

Dogs generally pant (breathe heavily) to bring their body temperature back to normal whenever it rises beyond normal due to rigorous physical activities or high external temperature.

<em>Hence, a fox will most likely pant in response to hot air temperature just like dogs.</em>

hammer [34]

Answer:

 A) & B)

Explanation:

A) There are certain viruses that are present in both healthy and disease people.

Example: Polio virus is found in many human but it causes disesease in only 1% of human.

B) Viruses require host machinery for replication so they may not replicate in pure culture.

The postulate C is also violated, the virus may not produce disease in non-human experimental host because of inappropriate animal or vaccinated animal etc. Others exception includes, the same disease may be caused by various organisms and different organisms can also cause the same disease.

It is necessary because Oxygen demands need to be reduced.  This may require more aggressive support including the use of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) or mechanical ventilation. Newborns born to drug-addicted mothers exhibit hyperirritability, exaggerated reflexes, and transient tachypnea.

Calculate the volume of the cone.
ale4655 [162]

Answer:

4778.4 cm³

Explanation:

The formulae of finding the volume of a cone =  1/3 * π * r² * h

(r = radius; h = height)

Therefore replacing the variable with values gives = 1/3 * π * 13² * 27

= 4,778.3624261100755157016805859681‬

Volume to the nearest tenth = 4778.4 cm³
