Biology

Answer:

Reduces heat lost to the water

Explanation:

In some birds such as the geese, to reduce the amount of energy cost when regulation their temperature, some morphological and behavioural has been used to maintain the rate of heat gain and loss. For uninsulated parts of the birds's body such as the legs, there is the presence to countercurrent head exchange between wherein the arteries and veins in the legs lie in close contact with each other in other to retain heat as these uninstalled regions are potential areas of heat loss since they are uninsulated unlike insulated parts (parts covered with feathers). Constriction of the arteries and veins will ensure blood flow to the feet of the geese at a low temperature.

Answer:

Explanation:

Wave generators harness the power of breaking waves which are disturbances that transmits energy to produce electric power for homes and industries.

This energy source is choice by many because it is environmentally friendly.

Here are some of the disadvantages;

  •  Threats to marine ecosystem especially those organisms that resides on the continental shelf where most these generators are installed.
  • It can pose serious damage to the beach natural outlook as energy waves can be periodically discharged.
  • Disruption of ships and vessels that might dock near the beach.
  • Noise pollution generated by the plant is undesirable.
  • The seasonality of waves might cause fluctuations in power generation.
