The bald eagle and the black bear are tetrapods, which means that they both have four limbs along with the digits. This shows that they both are the descendants of the four-limbed ancestors. However, the limbs of the bear and the bald eagle have different functions. The forelimbs of both these organisms serves different purpose. Hence, their limbs are homologous organs. The homologous organs are those which have the same ancestry but the functions are different.

Answer:

Lactic Acid Fermentation, which <em>produces the ATP molecule that animals and bacteria need for energy.</em> Lactic acid fermentation occurs when the ATP molecule is created without oxygen.

Alcohol/Ethanol Fermentation, which <em>causes certain sugars to be converted into alcohol and carbon dioxide</em> by bacteria on carbohydrate products/materials.

An animal that is endothermic and homoeothermic A. uses metabolic energy to regulate its body temperature and maintains a relati
rusak2 [61]

Answer: The correct option is A (uses metabolic energy to regulate its body temperature and maintains a relatively constant body temperature).

Explanation:

HOMOEOTHERMIC animals are also called endothermic animals. They are the warm blooded animals which uses heat energy generated metabolically to regulate and maintain a relatively constant body temperature. Examples of animals that are endothermic include the birds and mammals.

The temperature which they maintain is deep inside the body and not the skin temperature.

Also the temperature of a body is affected by the heat it gains and losses. The body gains heat mainly:

--> by absorbing it from its surroundings

--> from the heat released during the catabolic reaction that occur all the time in the body cells.

--> by conduction, convection and radiation from the surface of the body

--> through evaporation, especially of sweat and

--> in the air that is exhaled and urine that leaves the body.

Under normal circumstances, the heat the body gains is balanced by the heat it loses. A RISE in body temperature stimulates the following processes to get rid of excess body heat:

--> A decrease in metabolic rate: the body slows down its activities to decrease the metabolic rate. This reduces the heat released by metabolic reactions, hence minimizing heat production within the body.

A FALL in body temperature stimulates the following processes to produce and conserve heat:

--> increasing metabolic rate: The body increases its metabolic rate, especially that of the liver, to produce more heat
