It causes pathogens to stick together.
Their tounge can reach about two to three feet and on their tounge is sticky stuff that traps their food on their tounge then they eat it
A niche is a specie's function in its habitat or its level on the food chain, so two species competing at the same level for the same food and habitat eventually one species will have to migrate or starve due to lack of food.
Epinephrine triggers a direct signal transduction pathway.
I know this because when epinephrine binds to it's receptor example on a muscle cell,this is known as a type of G protein -coupled receptor,signal transduction cascade is triggered and this involves the production of a second messenger molecule cyclic AMP(cAMP).
Epinephrine also know as Adrenaline or sus-phrine.
It is a vasoconstrictor,broncho dilator and a sympathetic stimulant.
It constricts the peripheral abdominal organs as well as a stimulating the heart beat thereby raising the blood pressure,it also relaxes the spasms of the bronchial muscles thereby promoting ventilation of the lungs.
Answer:
D) The porcupine is showing a physical characteristic adaptation and the opossum is showing a behavioral adaptation.
Explanation:
Adaptation, which refers to the ability of an organism to adjust to changes in their external environment in order to survive, is of different types namely: physical/structural, behavioral etc.
- A physical or structural adaptation is a possessed physical characteristics/traits of an organism that enables it adapt.
- A behavioral adaptation is an organisms change in behavioral pattern or responses made to changes in the environment.
According to this question;
- A porcupine is said to have quills on its back which helps protect it from predators. This shows an example of STRUCTURAL or PHYSICAL ADAPTATION, which is the QUILLS it possesses.
- An opossum is said to pretend to be dead and become stiff when threatened. This is an example of BEHAVIORAL ADAPTATION because the opossum responds behaviorally to being threatened.
