What r some adaptions that help animals who live in the Alpine biome survive​

Biology
1 answer:
neonofarm [45]2 years ago
4 0

The animals that live in the Alpine biome have to have special adaptations to survive in it as this is a biome with very harsh conditions for big portion of the year. The temperatures are very low, the winds are strong, winter lasts for half a year or more, and there's lot of snow. All this has made the animals to develop certain traits to help them survive. Some of those adaptations are:

- thicker and longer fur for better isolation form the outside conditions

- wider paws with denser and tougher skin, helping them to move easier in the snow and avoid frostbite

- larger lungs and nostrils for easier breathing in the high altitudes

- stockier bodies so that heat can be preserved easier

- the ears and tails are small and rounded in order to avoid frost bite

- big portion of them are able to hibernate for several months

How does animals store energy
vovangra [49]

Animals ( or plants ) store solar energy as chemical energy between atoms of their molecules.

For example : ATP is phosphate energy bonds stored by animals in their molecules.

For more stable form animals also store energy in carbon bonds called carbohydrates. The most common e carbohydrates are starch, sugar and fats. Animals have enzymes to convert these forms of energy into actual form which they use for their activities like move, run or fly.

Which of these disruptions would cause an excess output in the Carbon Cycle?
blagie [28]

Complete Question:

The carbon cycle includes processes that release carbon into the atmosphere and places that act as carbon reservoirs. The diagram below shows both major processes that release carbon and major carbon reservoirs. (See attached picture for the diagram being referred to)

Which of these disruptions would cause an excess output in the carbon cycle?

 A. The destruction of terrestrial biota

 B. Increases in marine biota

 C. A reduction in the use of fossil fuels

 D. A thickening of ocean sediments

Answer:

A. The destruction of terrestrial biota

Explanation:

Terrestrial biota play a very cogent and fundamental role in the regulation of carbon in the carbon cycle. Serving as a reservoir of carbon, terrestrial biota helps in absorbing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.

Therefore, the destruction of terrestrial biota would lead to an excess output of carbon in the carbon cycle due to the reduction in the capacity of forest and other plant community to absorb carbon dioxide from the environment.

Destruction of terrestrial biota would result in an excess output in carbon when compared to other disruptions.
