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.

How can water intake affect the volume and concentration of urine?
Alchen [17]
More water means more pee (theoretically). Pee is actually just garbage materials from the body (toxins). These color the urine. The more you drink, the more you have to pee and just pee clean because all toxins are out, or you have more water to take out the toxins, having less of it per let's say 0.5 l

Which two molecules generated by the Krebs cycle pass their high-energy electrons to the electron transport
Sidana [21]

<u>Answer</u>:

The two molecules generated by the Krebs cycle that pass their high-energy electrons to the electron transport are NADH and  FADH2

<u>Explanation:</u>

The kreb's cycle gives NADH and also the another hydrogen carrier which is termed as FADH2. During the process of the electron transport chain, one NADH gives rise to electrons and also the hydrogen ions, which has enough potential energy that can convert and produce 3 ATP molecules. Again in the electron transport chain the NADH and the FADH2 undergoes oxidation and releases energy in the form of the ATP. The process of generation of the ATP in the electron transport chain(ETC)  is also referred as the chemiosmotic phosphorolation.
