Answer:

D.) A rabbit running a predator

Explanation:

The process of breakdown of glucose into CO2 and H2O is exergonic process and releases energy which is stored in the form of ATP. ATP serves as energy currency for all the functions performed be living beings.

The rate of glucose breakdown is maximum during intense physical activity to meet the increased demand for ATP.

Among the given options, since the rabbit is running to save its life from a predator, it would use maximum energy to protect itself. hence, the rabbit would exhibit a higher rate of energy production through glucose breakdown as compared to others.

Answer:

The beak, bill, and/or rostrum is an external anatomical structure of birds that is used for eating and for preening, manipulating objects, killing prey, fighting, probing for food, courtship and feeding young. The terms beak and rostrum are also used to refer to a similar mouth part in some ornithischians, pterosaurs, turtles, cetaceans, dicynodonts, anuran tadpoles, monotremes (i.e. echidnas and platypuses, which have a beak-like structure), sirens, pufferfish, billfishes and cephalopods.
