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.

How can protists exhibit both animal-like and plant-like characteristics?
Kay [80]

A heterotrophic and chlorophyll protist

Food is ingested by protists in three forms. We produce, eat and digest their own organic molecules. Meat ingestion or english bacteria ingests protists. The cell wall and cell membrane are stretched to create an alimentary vacuolum around the foodstuff. Enzymes extract the food inside the food vacuole. At the other side, absorbent protists consume food molecules through their cell membrane by diffusion. In decomposition, absorbent protists play a crucial role. They are assumed to be essential decomponents. Light energy is used to make your own food by big farmers including photosynthetic protists.

Bradycardia on the other hand is when the heart rate is slower than normal. The Tachycardia and bradycardia can arise from either the SA node or from other areas of the cardiac.
