Answer:

The mouse will because it has the higher surface-area-to-volume ratio.

Explanation:

The living organisms maintain their homeostasis by maintaining their internal constant environment as external environment changes. These organisms are known as exothermic animal.

The surface area to volume ratio in case of living organisms plays an important role. The small species has high  surface area to volume ratio as compared to the larger species. The diffusion, cooling and other process is faster in the small size species. The mouse body will get cool faster than elephant species.

Thus, the correct answer is option (3).

Como se origino la vida abiojeneticas
sashaice [31]

Answer:

También se ha debatido el hábitat de la abiogénesis. Si bien alguna evidencia sugiere que la vida puede haberse originado a partir de la no vida en los respiraderos hidrotermales en el fondo del océano, es posible que la abiogénesis ocurriera en otros lugares, como en las profundidades de la superficie de la Tierra, donde las protoceldas recién surgidas podrían haber subsistido con metano o hidrógeno, o incluso en el océano. costas, donde los proteinoides pueden haber surgido de la reacción de los aminoácidos con el calor y luego entrar al agua como gotitas de proteína parecidas a células.
