Answer:

Skeletal muscle contractions help maintain body temperature. (Ans. E)

Explanation:

Skeletal muscle contributes to maintaining temperature homeostasis in the body by producing heat. Muscle contractions require energy & produce heat as a by-product of metabolism. All types of muscles produce heat, but a large amount of Skeletal muscle found in the body, so it contributes greatly to heat production.

This is noticeable during extreme cold environment shivering produces random skeletal muscle contractions to generate heat to maintain the body temperature.    

Skeletal muscle contractions pull (drag) on tendons, which are joined to the bones present in the body. If the contraction of muscles causes the muscle to shorten, the bone (present in the body) & other body part will start to move. Then the energy comes from a skeletal muscle produces heat & maintain the body temperature.

Explain the connection between earths magnetic field and iron
german
Magnetism is a class of physical phenomena that are mediated by magnetic fields. Electric currents and the magnetic moments of elementary particles give rise to a magnetic field, which acts on other currents and magnetic moments.The Earth's magnetic field is somewhat caused by the composition of the earth's core which is rich in iron minerals. There is a solid inner core that is made of iron which makes up to 2/3 of the moon's size. The charged metal of the iron produces electric currents, consequently resulting to Earth's magnetic field.

Exoskeleton on the other hand is the trait by which arthropods posses. It is skeletal feature that is described outside or is extrinsic, this is evident as crabs have their skeletons outside of their body.
