Hibernation helps animals survive the changing seasons. Foods that bears eat, such as berries and flowers, are much less available during cold winter months. When they hibernate, bears enter a deep sleep. ... While they sleep, the bears can survive because their bodies live off of their stored fat or food.
During hibernation, the animal’s body temperature, heart rate and breathing rate all drop to significantly lower levels. Animals do this to survive the winter because the weather is cold and food is scarce. It is advantageous because these animals can quite literally shut themselves off for weeks at a time rather than try and survive through harsh weather conditions.
While many people think bears are hibernators, they actually participate in a similar, though not exact, practice. Instead of hibernating, bears fall into a deep sleep called torpor. During torpor, heart rate and breathing rate decreases, body temperature reduces slightly and bears do not eat or release bodily waste. Bears can sleep more than 100 days without eating, drinking, or passing waste!
Bears sleep in dens that they make themselves, as well as in hollow trees, caves and dens built by other bears. A den can be built in 3–7 days, however, the timing of den building varies from bear to bear. While some bears build their dens months before hibernation season, others choose to excavate their dens.
These animals can dramatically drop their body temperature to below freezing—salty body fluids work to prevent tissue crystallization in particularly cold temperatures.
So really, animals that are true hibernators don’t actually sleep through the entire winter.
The urea produced by their fat metabolism is broken down and the nitrogen is re-used by the bear to rebuild protein.
I don’t know why they make everyone type more than 20 characters but B sounds like the most reasonable answer.
Taxonomy is the branch of Science, in which
we study the Classification of Organisms. On discovering an unknown organism,
begin classification by looking for anatomical features that appear to have the
same function as those found on other species.
In order to correctly classify an organism,
scientists use many modern tools.
1.Morphology describes the physical
characteristics of an organism. Typically, this is enough information to place
the organism within a domain and kingdom.
2.DNA and biochemical analysis allow
scientists to test less visible, but distinguishing, characteristics.
3.Comparing embryology allows scientists to
group organisms that share common fetal development.
<span>4.Evolutionary
phylogeny describes the evolutionary relationships between organisms.</span>These
relationships are deduced based on shared traits that may have been passed from
ancestor to new species. Traits
may include physical traits (ex. presence of jaws), or may be genetic traits
(shared genes).
The correct answer is "The oil removed by this structure can be used to power ships."
Oil rigs are positive, effective and direct methods of recovering crude oil. It is a large construction on or in water with facilities to drill wells, to extract and process oil and natural gas, and to temporarily store product until it can be brought to shore for clearing and retailing.
The best and most correct answer among the choices provided by your question is the second choice or letter B.
Reptiles don't sit on their eggs like birds do because r<span>eptile eggs are not amniotic and have no shell, so sitting on them would crush them.</span>
