Woodchucks are rodents that are commonly found in the eastern United States. When winter approaches, they hibernate by reducing
their body temperatures from 37°C to 7°C and lowering their heartbeats from 80 beats per minute to 5 beats per minute. How does this behavior help woodchucks survive during the winter? It allows them to grow rapidly. It allows them to grow rapidly. It allows them to save energy. It allows them to save energy. It allows them to store more food in their bodies. It allows them to store more food in their bodies. It allows them to produce their own body heat.
Hibernation is a behavioral adaptation that involves physiological changes to survive during wither months. These physiological changes can include a decrease in body temperature, respiratory/heart rate and metabolism. The main purpose for which animals enter hibernation is to conserve energy, thereby surviving adverse climatic conditions and/or periods when food is scarce. Some examples of true hibernators (i.e., animals that enter into a state of minimal activity) include bats, hedgehogs, allies, squirrels, marmots, etc.
These are called perennial plants. Annual plants go through their entire life process within a single year and stop existing, meaning they can't produce fruit every year.
The basic research is a type of research that mainly aims to increase the existing base of the scientific knowledge and hence, in the case of psychology the basic research would increase the knowledge about psychology.
Therefore, the purpose of basic research is to add up to the knowledge that already exists.
The research that is conducted to especially solve certain problems or answer specific questions is called applied research. Its main aim is to find out the solution for a given problem.
Therefore, in the case of psychology applied research is conducted to explore practical problems.
