Answer:

decrease

decrease.

Explanation:

The larger the body volume of an organism, the higher the amount of internal  heat generated.Likewise the higher the mass of the organism, the lower the surface area available to lose heat.

<u>Thus the greater the surface area to volume ratio available to  an organism in its environment, the larger the quantity of internal  heat to be dissipated in proportion  to its volume.</u>

Development in ectotherm  increases the  body volume cavity at  faster rate than the surface area, thus the ectotherm will have low surface area to volume ratio.Therefore the surface area  available to dissipate heat to the surroundings<u>  decreases</u>.

Thus  the ectotherm,  with  decrease  surface areas to volume ratio lose less  heat , because of limited/ decreased surface area exposed to the surrounding due to increase body volume.

What usually causes creep?
notsponge [240]
Soil creep is the downward movement of soil, on a slope, caused by the force of gravity. A slow deformation of soil material over a prolonged period of time, from pressure and stress. Creep occurs when the friction from materials resisting gravity move against each other. Slope is a key cause of soil creep.

Enzymes that move certain phospholipids between leaflets have also which of the following properties?
iren2701 [21]

Answer:

A. play a role establishing and maintaining membrane lipid asymmetry

Explanation:

Proteins that move move certain phospholipids between leaflets are transmembrane proteins via "flip-flop" transition have also the possibility to maintain membrane lipid asymmetry. There are few types of such proteins:

  • flipases-move lipids from the exterior to the interior side of the membrane, energy required
  • flopases-move lipids in reverse comparing to flipases, energy required
  • scramblases-no energy required, bidirectional

Because of the action of those proteins, cytosolic side of plasma membrane differs from exoplasmic side (asymmetry).

Which process takes place in the inner membrane of mitochondria
larisa [96]
At the inner mitochondrial membrane<span>, a high energy electron is passed along an electron transport chain. The energy released pumps hydrogen out of the matrix space. The gradient created by this drives hydrogen back through the </span>membrane<span>, through ATP synthase.</span>
