The correct answer is: decrease motility in the intestine, dilate bronchioles in lungs, dilate pupils, secrete epinephrine, and speed up heartbeat.

Being chased by a coyote constitutes a highly stressful and threatening situation for the rabbit. This means that the rabbit's physiology will adapt and the body will get prepared for action, that is to run and avoid the coyote.
This response is called an acute stress response (also called fight or flight response) and includes a hormonal cascade. The autonomic nervous system is responsible for the regulation of this response.

All of the changes in the sympathetic nervous system are an effort to boost the body with the necessary energy to run as fast as possible. Some of these adaptations include the dilation the lungs' bronchioles and the speeding up of the heartbeat, in order to accelerate the lung and heart action. Also, the motility of the intestine is decreased to a point where digestion nearly stops, in order for the blood flow to support the muscular action. Finally, one part of the adrenal glands triggers the secretion catecholamines, meaning the norepinephrine and epinephrine hormones.

Answer:

The ten percent rule, also known as the law of ecological tithe, has to do with the effective transfer of energy that occurs at different trophic levels, corresponding to the use of one tenth of the energy from the immediate previous level.

Explanation:

The 10 percent rule was established by the english naturalist Charles Sutherland Elton, indicating that the <u>transfer of energy from one</u><u> trophic level</u><u> to another is only 10 percent</u>. This means that the level immediately above can only use one tenth of the energy produced by the level before it.

<h3>What percentage of energy a dolphin would have after it ate a fish, that ate an insect, that ate some grass?</h3>

For example, if we say that grass produces 10000 Kcal, the insect that consumes it (primary consumer) will be able to use 1000 Kcal, the fish that consumes insects 100 Kcal and the dolphin that consumes the fish only 100 Kcal.

<em>Grass      →     Insect     →    Fish      →     Dolphin</em>

<em>10000            1000             100                   10</em>

In the end the dolphin, a tertiary consumer, will only be able to produce 10 Kcal, when in the food web the producer had 10,000 Kcal.

The 10 percent rule is not entirely accurate, since the effective transfer can be less or more than 10 percent. However, in most cases, the average energy transfer is around 10%, which complies with the rule.
