Answer:

<em>In order to ensure consistent membrane fluidity</em>

Explanation:

<h3>Cold Blooded Animals</h3>

Cold-blooded animals rely on the temperature of the surrounding environment to maintain its internal temperature, their blood is not cold.  Their body temperature fluctuates,  based on the external temperature of the environment. If it  is 30 °F outside, their body temperature  will eventually normalize to  30 °F, as well. If it eventually rises to 120 °F, their body temperature will follow the same pattern to 120 °F.

<h3>Membrane fluidity</h3>

The cell membrane of cold-blooded animals contains cholesterol, which acts as a shield for the membrane. Membrane fluidity is enhanced by temperature, as the temperature increases membrane fluidity increases and it decreases when the temperature goes down.

<em>Most cold-blooded animals adjust their feeding habit to contain  more </em><em>unsaturated fats</em><em> from plants. This helps them to maintain their </em><em>motor coordination and membrane </em><em> fluidity during the long winter</em>

Cold-blooded animals modulate the fatty acid composition of their membrane to stabilize their membrane fluidity

You have a mass of 54 kg and are sitting on a stool. The normal force the stool applies on you is ...
Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Answer:

529.2 N

Explanation:

As we have studied the first law of motion, which states that every action has some reaction, equal in magnitude but having an opposite direction.

The force that is acting on the student will be due to gravitational force, that is equal to his weight.

                                              F=mg: 54kg x 9.8m/s^2 =529.2 N

So the weight of student is exerting downwards towards the stool and land. The stool will also exert a force on the student that will be equal in magnitude but opposite in direction, then it will be 529.2 N.

This is because the student is sitting in a constant state and all the weight is exerted on the stool.

Note: This answer is very generic supposing that all the weight of the student is on stool. But, if we suppose that student's legs are on floor so it means the force of gravity acting on the stool has become less because student's mass on stool is less. So the answer would be a force somehow less than 529.2 N.  However, since the question asked normal force, it would be weight of student in general terms.

Hope it helps!
