Conservation of Energy in Living Systems
Energy changes form as it flows through an ecosystem, but the total amount of energy in the system remains constant. Food chains show how energy flows in an ecosystem. The main source of energy in most ecosystems is light energy from the Sun.

Answer: Sympathetic Nervous System.

Explanation:

The sympathetic nervous system is part of the autonomic nervous system. The sympathetic nervous system activates what is often termed the fight or flight response. The sympathetic nervous system directs the body's rapid involuntary response to dangerous or stressful situations. A flash flood of hormones boosts the body's alertness and heart rate, sending extra blood to the muscles. Breathing quickens, delivering fresh oxygen to the brain, and an infusion of glucose is shot into the bloodstream for a quick energy boost. The sympathetic nervous system allows animals to make quick internal adjustments and react without having to think about it.

If you found a vertebrate skull in the woods and the teeth were sharp and scissor-like, what type of food would you expect this

Zepler [3.9K]

The correct answer is: B) flesh of another animal

The shape of teeth is tightly connected with the food that animal eats.Examples:

• Herbivores (plant eaters) have flat teeth specialized for the grass chewing.

• Carnivores (flesh eaters) have long and sharp teeth for meat cutting.

• Omnivores (eat meat and plants) such as humans have various types of teeth with different functions.

There are four main types of teeth: incisors (at the front, sharp for cutting), canines ( to grip and tear food), premolars (flat surface for food crushing), molars (the biggest with flat biting surface, to chew).
