The right answer is Whales are able to conserve oxygen better than humans.

As the duration of the dive of some whale species can reach more than one hour, they use other means to breathe. In vertebrates, myoglobin, a protein, transports and stores oxygen in muscle tissue. It works like hemoglobin that carries oxygen in red blood cells. It is also myoglobin concentration very strong that makes their flesh bright red color, almost black. Thus, whales use the oxygen stored in the muscles to dive for long periods.

The correct answer is tympanometer. A tympanometer is not used to measure hearing, but to rather measure the transmission of energy through the middle ear. In this way, tympanometry is an objective test of the function of the middle-ear. Tympanometry is used alongside other measures to asses hearing, such as pure tone audiometry.

Strike441 [17]
The major causes of the greenhouse effect is excessive carbon dioxide gas in the atmosphere. The greenhouse effect is a process that warms the Earth's surface. When the Sun's energy reaches the Earth's atmosphere, some of it is reflected back to space and the rest is absorbed and re-radiated by green house gases, such as carbon dioxide, water vapor, metahne, nitrous oxide, and ozone. The absorbed energy warms the atmosphere and the surface of the Earth.

Trichomes increase the chances of survival for plants living in areas with infrequent rainfall.

If a plant in a very rainy place had trichomes, it would probably adapt and remove them as time passed as they are unnecessary.

Bases on one DNA strands pairs with bases on the complementary DNA strand through hydrogen bonds.
bases can pair with the complementary base.
Complementary base of thymine is adenine .
Therefore thymine pairs with adenine.
