Hello!
The answer is C. Hibernate during the cold winter months.
Why?
Alpine marmots are known for having a long hibernation duration which starts in October (winther) and ends in April (summer) (about 7 months). During this long period, they are able to reduce their bear beats from 200 per minute to just 30 or 38 beats, and their breaths from 60 breaths/minute to 1-3 breaths/minute, guaranteeing an extreme energy saving process.
Have a nice day!
Answer: C
Explanation: A lunar month is 29.53 earth days. Since an earth calendar as only integer days, it could be either 29 or 30 days later.
Answer:
a. slows diffusion
Explanation:
Gas exchange on respiratory surfaces in the body (the lungs) occurs through a process known as diffusion. Blood which is low in oxygen and high in carbondioxide (carried from cells) goes through an exchange in the lung's alveoli (where oxygen concentration is high and carbondioxide is low). The oxygen in the alveoli diffuses into the blood, while the carbondioxide in the blood diffuses into the alveoli. This diffusion is possible because of the concentration gradient across the membranes.
Pneumonia is the inflammation of the lungs due to injury or infection. Liquid (pus) accumulates in the alveoli (a natural immune response to the infection or injury), a condition known as pulmonary edema which makes it harder for gases to be exchanged between the blood and the alveoli, thereby making breathing difficult. This slows down diffusion and if the condition is severe enough, can cause a respiratory failure where oxygen levels in the blood are critically low and carbondioxide levels are very high.
