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.

HELP!!!! Time crunch!
Mila [183]

Answer:

Glycolysis is a series of reactions that take place in the cell cytoplasm. It involves the oxidation of glucose into pyruvate (a 3 carbon compound), that produces (overall)ATP and reduced NAD: an enzyme that carries hydrogen. The number of carbons in each of these compounds is indicated in the green circle.

The carriers FAD and NAD bring the hydrogen and it separates to H+ and electrons (e-). The electrons pass from carrier to carrier and loose energy. This is used to synthesize ATP.

However, there are a lot of hydrogen ions, that unless they are removed, they'll cause a large increase in pH. Therefore, oxygen reacts with the ions to remove it and produce water. This is what the oxygen you inhale is used for (in terms of respiration).
