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.

Living in a tropical environment where one learns to orient oneself through a vertical landscape of tall trees and speckled light is part of spatial orientation.

<h3>What is the rain forest zone?</h3>

The tropical rain forest zone is the zone that is known to have a very high amount of rainfall for most of the year. The rain forest zone often has a lot of luxuriant trees that blossom all year round and serve as a breeding ground for many insects such as mosquitoes.

Most of the trees in the tropical rain forest zone are arranged in strata where the tallest trees often form a sort of canopy in the area thereby reducing the light that gets to the pants that are found below and keeping the area cool.

Hence, living in a tropical environment where one learns to orient oneself through a vertical landscape of tall trees and speckled light is part of spatial orientation.
