The correct answer is C. Estivation

Explanation:

In biology, estivation refers to a lethargic state that is mainly prompted by high temperatures, different from hibernation that occurs in the winter or at low temperatures. However, as hibernation estivation implies the organism of animals lowers the metabolic rate with the purpose of avoiding to die due to the high temperatures and the lack of resources including water. This can occur in both vertebrate and intervertebral animals including small animals. This implies, the mouse  described which is a small animal probably is going through estivation as due to hot temperatures the organism lowers the metabolic rate, which is exactly what occurs in this process.

Antibiotics, antimicrobial resistance and the control of disease - Essay
kondaur [170]

<u>Antibiotics are used to kill bacteria:</u>

Antibiotic is a naturally produced substance that is used to kill bacteria. The first antibiotic was penicillin produced from fungus. The word antibiotic means against life which means it is against the life of pathogenic bacteria.

In the case of the living organism that is treated antibiotic is ‘pro life’. Antimicrobials are used to kill pathogenic microbes like fungus, bacteria, virus etc. Sometimes the microbes become resistant to the antimicrobials and they are said to develop is antimicrobial resistance.

When pathogens develop antimicrobial resistance newer drugs have to be developed in place of the earlier ones to treat the disease.

There are two properties that affect the conduction speed of an action potential along an axon: die axon's diameter and whether
Rom4ik [11]

Answer:

 Axons with high  diameter, and myelinated will conduct action potential faster.

Axons with low diameter but myelinated will be  relatively  slow in the speed of action potential transmission

Axons with high diameter and unmyelinated will be relatively slow in action potential transmission.  

Axons with low diameter, and unmyelinated will conduct action potential slowly .

Explanation:

Diameter of Axon affects conduction speed of Action Potential; the thick axons with  high diameter conducts action potential at a faster speed than thin neurons. This is because of the less resistance to the transmission of action potential along the thick axon. However, thin neurons with   lower diameter has more resistance to the action potential conduct along the axon, thus the speed of transmission is slow.  

Myelinated neuron transmits action potential faster because of   jumping of action potential at the nodes of Ranvier where there is highest concentration of all channel proteins and pump proteins, Therefore action potential is conducted at a faster rate as it jumps from one node to another. This is salutatory conduction. It increases the conduct about 50 times compare to unmyelinated neuron. In neuron of human it increases the speed to 100ms-1

.Conversely, unmyelinated neurone  conducts action potential slowly. About 0.5ms-1 . This is because no salutatory conduction takes place because there is no myelin interruption as Nodes of Ranvier
