Dogs and other mammals can fluff up or press down their fur to increase or decrease their insulation, respectively, which is sim

ilar to what happens when we put on or take off pieces of clothing. Altering the fluffiness of their coat is extremely cheap energetically, and therefore has a negligible effect on their metabolic rate. If you shave your dog, what will happen to the width of his/her thermoneutral zone? A It will stay the same. B It will become narrower (span a more narrow range of ambient temperatures). C It will become wider (span a wider range of ambient temperatures).

Answer:

The correct answer is option B "It will become narrower (span a more narrow range of ambient temperatures)".

Explanation:

Dogs, and other animals with fur, use their pelage to increase the range of ambient temperatures that they can tolerate. The way they do it is by altering their fluffiness depending if they are exposed to cooler or heater temperatures. If a dog is shaved, its thermoneutral zone will become narrower. Therefore, the dog will not be able to live in extremal temperature conditions as it did before with its fur.

The ileum has <span>plicae circulares</span>, villi and microvilli, that are folds and projections of the mucosa layer of the ileum, that increase the surface area of food absorption.  The mucosa and the submucosa of the stomach have inner folds called rugae that increase the surface areas in which food is digested by enzymes.

Plants have root hairs in their tap roots that also increase the surface area for which they absorb water and nutrient from the soil. Fibrous roots have a mesh-like a network that also increases the surface area for increased absorption.

quester [9]

Answer:

Complex II

Explanation:

The electron transport chain refers to a group of electron transporters embedded in the inner mitochondrial membrane that transfer electrons from electron donors to electron acceptors which undergo redox (reduction and oxidation) reactions. The energy released during the transfer of electrons is coupled to the transfer of protons (H+) from the mitochondrial matrix into the intermembrane space, generating an electrochemical gradient that is then used to synthesize ATP. Complex I and Complex II are membrane-bound complexes that act as mitochondrial redox carriers. Complex I is a proton pump that uses energy from the electron transfer chain to pump protons, while Complex II sends H+ onto Complex III in the form of the reduced ubiquinol. Complex I receives electrons from NADH and transfers them to ubiquinone, while Complex II directly receives the redox cofactor FADH2 that does not pass through Complex I.

<h2>Inflammation of the pericardial sac is the process that would have occurred within the pericardium.</h2>

Explanation:

  • Post myocardial infarction (MI), pericardial inflammation or early pericarditis is a complication that usually occurs within the first 24-96 hour time period.
  • The high-pitched, scratchy, scraping sound heard with an increase in exhalation when the client leans forward is due to the increased pericardial frictional rub of the inflamed pericardial layers in the pericardial sac.
  • These heart sounds are typical of pericarditis and can be best heard during inspiration as well as forced expiration with the patient in the forward-leaning position.
