Energy in most ecosystems must flow through autotrophs because only autotrophs can convert solar energy in chemical energy.

Explanation:

This suggests that these are organisms which are entirely based on the Greek name self-producers that can produce complex organic materials by fixing together simple building blocks in their local situation. E.g plants on land. Photosynthesis in plants transforms solar energy into chemical energy using electrons and protons from water. The method of photosynthesis in plants involves a series of steps and reactions that use solar energy, water, and carbon dioxide to produce organic aggregates and oxygen.

Sweating and panting are examples of which characteristic of life?

Viktor [21]

Answer:

Responding to the environment

Explanation:

Sweating and panting are mechanisms of homeostasis i.e the regulation of the body's internal environment in response to changes or fluctuations in the external environment.

Sweating is a physiological response to the body's core temperature rising above the limit of 36.5-37.5°C. Once the hypothalamus in the brain detects this rise in temperature, cooling mechanisms are initiated. One of these is sweating. Release and subsequent evaporation of sweat through the sweat glands produces a cooling effect.

Panting is a physiological response more observed in dogs. Dogs lack sweat glands and therefore cannot lower their core temperature through sweating. Panting utilizes saliva instead of sweat to lower body's temperature to the set limit.

andriy [413]

Answer:

The correct answer is - B. Woodchucks hibernate to survive the winter.

Explanation:

Many mammals such as groundhog or also known as woodchucks hibernate during winter in order to survive winter. Hibernation is the process or state of minimal activity during a particular time of the year characterized by low body temperature, slow heart rate, and low metabolic rate.

Woodchucks are become less active and remain in their burrow and seen very little during the winter and stay like this till late winter or early spring.
