Advantages of constant body temperaure

Biology

Leya [2.2K]3 years ago

Proteins function optimally at a specific temperature. So if you get too hot or too cold, biochemical reactions in your body start to function less well. If the situation becomes extreme enough, they can cease to function well enough to sustain life. 

Warm-blooded animals have an advantage over cold-blooded ones in that their bodies automatically try to maintain the optimal termperature for things in their bodies to function. Cold-blooded animals depend on the environmental temperature to do this for them. That's why reptiles are very sluggish when they're cold, but will "wake up" when they get warm. 

The cost to this benefit is that metabolically, warm-blooded animals require a lot more fuel to run their bodies. It's very energy-intensive to maintain a constant body temperature. Cold-blooded animals require far less fuel than warm-blooded ones relative to their size. 

The way that proteins operate in a specific temperature is also true of the pH in your body which is also very tightly maintained.

When studying animal behavior, the distribution of organisms within a choice chamber can be studied to identify animal preferenc
Komok [63]

Answer:

c

Explanation:

Random distribution of the Isopods should be 50/50 in A and B.

Chi-square = \frac{(O - E)^2}{E} where O = observed frequency and E = expected frequency

Chamber         O                    E             Chi-square

  A                   18                   10             \frac{(18 - 10)^2}{10} = 6.4

  B                    2                    10             \frac{(2 - 10)^2}{10} = 6.4

<em>Total Chi-square </em>= 6.4 + 6.4 = 12.8

<em>Degree of freedom</em> = 2 - 1 = 1

<em>Tabulated Chi-square</em> (α = 0.05) = 3.8415

The calculated Chi-square exceeds the critical value, hence, it is significant and not due to random.

<em>The correct option is </em><em>c</em><em>.</em>
