What behavioural adaptation does a desert fox have to help it survive in hot places

Biology
1 answer:
SIZIF [17.4K]3 years ago
7 0
1. Their large ears help dissipate excess body heat on hot days in the desert. 2. The fennec fox seems to be the only carnivore living in the Sahara Desert able to survive without free water. Their kidneys are adapted to restrict water loss, their extensive burrowing may cause the formation of dew, which can then be consumed, and they will receive moisture from the food that they eat. 3. Their burrowing and nocturnal lifestyle helps restrict water loss. 4. Their thick fur helps insulate them from the cold desert nights. 5. Their sandy fur helps to reflect heat, and also provides excellent camouflage. 6. Fennec foxes also have thick fur on the soles of their feet, which insulate against the hot sand of the desert. This extra fur on the soles of their feet also affords them excellent traction in the loose sand.

How do phagocytic white blood cells help your body stay healthy?​
muminat

These cells consume bacteria and other pathogens to protect the body from infection. The process begins when chemicals from a pathogen, or damaged tissue, attract a phagocyte. The phagocyte binds to the microbe, envelopes it, and then eats it.

Which diagram shows the pathway of energy through an ecosystem?
Iteru [2.4K]
Question 1:
The correct answer should be the one that shows the producer first, (->) followed by the herbivore, (->) with the carnivore last.
Producers are organisms that harvest their own 'food' using things like the sunlight and water. Examples of producers are grass and other vegetation.

Producer
The herbivore, or an organism that consumes only vegetation and/or algae, consumes the producer.

Producer ⇒ Herbivore
The carnivore consumes meat, or other animals such as the herbivore. It's the last. 

Producer ⇒ Herbivore ⇒ Carnivore
Therefore the answer is B.

Question 2:
 I'm pretty sure that succession as well as regrowth after volcanic eruption (Just look at Mount St. Helens. After 30-35 years after the eruption, nature is still recovering) happens over time/slowly. I would say global warming [C](?) would be the answer.
