Answer:
The scaling exponent will be 0.75
Explanation:
According to a famous article by Max Kleiber*, the scaling of the metabolic rate or energy consumption for mammals Pmetab (measured in kcal/day) with the body mass Mb (measured in kilograms) is P metab = 70 Mb^0.75 .
What is the scaling exponent (the quantity x in a scaling law A = cMbx) for the specific metabolic rate as a function of the animal’s body mass?
he scaling of the metabolic rate or energy consumption for mammals P=kcal/day
Mb=body mass in kilograms
Comparing
P metab = 70 Mb^0.75 .
with A = cMb^x
the scaling exponent will be 0.75
metabolic rate is the energy(in kilojoule) consumed at rest. it accounts for the highest amount of energy a body consumes daily
The answer is <span>D.A mouse lies still when it sees a cat, which helps it evade detection by a predator.
Behavioral adaptations are thing organisms do to increase their chance to survive and reproduce. This is, actually, how organisms react in response to a threat. For example, animals could move from place to place, or imitate something they are not (mimicry). The example of mouse's behavioral adaptation is when mouse sees a cat, it lies still in order to evade it. Mouse changes its behavior to survive.</span>
Answer: c. water storage.
Savanna is a biome characterized by dry climatic conditions. This biome receives low rainfall as compared to grassland. Therefore, plants are adapted to prevent water loss. They have small sized leaves which prevent water loss by transpiration. Also, they have large tree trunk to store water thus help them to survive in drought conditions.
