It is a behavioral adaptation.
There are three types of adaptations:
Structural - body parts that help it survive (e.g. color, size, shape)
Physiological - systems present in an organism that allow it a special feature (e.g. venom, skin color changes)
Behavioral - an action that allows the organism to better survive
A principle that is not associated with the cell theory is that very few cells reproduce. In fact all cells reproduce because they are the basic units of life.<span>2 people </span><span>found this useful</span>
Answer:
Explanation:
Muscle contraction is stimulated by the movement of an action potential moving along a nerve fiber to the muscles. This event follow some series of process before being stimulated.
1. The impulse arrives at the synapse and travels through the transverse tubules.
2. The muscle impulse reaches the sarcoplasmic reticulum and calcium is released.
3. Calcium floods the sarcoplasm and binds to troponin molecules leaving active sites.
4. Tropomyosin molecules bind to exposed active sites, linking actin and myosin.
5. Thin filaments are pulled over the thick filaments.
6. The muscle fiber shortens and contracts.
Answer:
<u>Skin:</u> The skin acts as a barrier against external agents that could affect such as microorganisms, changes in temperature, etc.
<u>Excretes waste:</u> The excretion process, is done mainly by lungs (release of carbon dioxide), kidneys (elimination of excess compounds such as nitrogen) and the skin (sweat regulates temperature but also regulates the concentration of salts within the body)
<u>Nails:</u> It protects the soft tissues surrounding the distal phalanx, but it also exerts pressure over on the digits which allows more precission in the movements.
<u>Kidneys:</u> Eliminate waste from the blood and regulate body fluids, by generating urine.
<u>Bladder:</u> In charge of storing the urine produced by the kidneys, for the urination process to be controlled and not so frecuent.
