Answer:

Bats are the only mammals that can fly, but vampire bats have an even more interesting distinction—they are the only mammals that feed entirely on blood.

Nocturnal Behavior

These notorious bats sleep during the day in total darkness, suspended upside down from the roofs of caves. They typically gather in colonies of about 100 animals, but sometimes live in groups of 1,000 or more. In one year, a 100-bat colony can drink the blood of 25 cows.

During the darkest part of the night, common vampire bats emerge to hunt. Sleeping cattle and horses are their usual victims, but they have been known to feed on people as well. The bats drink their victim's blood for about 30 minutes. They don't remove enough blood to harm their host, but their bites can cause nasty infections and disease.

Hunting for Blood

Vampire bats strike their victims from the ground. They land near their prey and approach it on all fours. The bats have few teeth because of their liquid diet, but those they have are razor sharp. Each bat has a heat sensor on its nose that points it toward a spot where warm blood is flowing just beneath its victim's skin. After putting the bite on an animal, the vampire bat laps up the flowing blood with its tongue. Its saliva prevents the blood from clotting.

Young vampire bats feed not on blood but on milk. They cling tightly to their mothers, even in flight, and consume nothing but her milk for about three months.

The common vampire bat is found in the tropics of Mexico, Central America, and South America.

Which layer of Earth has the highest density and temperature?
MrRissso [65]
<span>Because of the difference in materials and the compression of gravity at depth, the inner core is the highest density. The lowest is the crust which is basically floating on the mantle. While no one has drilled that far, the basic assumption from magnetism and pieces of other planets delivered as meteors is that the inner material is iron, nickel and other heavy magnetic elements along with heavy radioactive elements.

The final answer to your question is C. core.

I am hoping that this answer has satisfied your query and it will be able to help you in your endeavor, and if you would like, feel free to ask another question.

For a neuron to function, an input of free energy from ATP is required to set up the sodium and potassium ion concentration grad
Vlad [161]

Answer:

The lack of ATP would slow nerve responses to generate an action potential

Explanation:

Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is the main source of energy in the cells. Moreover, ATPases are pumps that use ATP in order to transport sodium and potassium ions across the cell membrane and thus create an action potential. In stressful situations (e.g., escape from a predator) the lack of ATP would not allow to develop fast nerve responses, thereby ATP is required during rest periods and the flow of ions is used when is required a fast response.

when algae lives on a slth it is consirered a mutual symbiotic relationship. why is this an exampkle of mutualism
d1i1m1o1n [39]

Algae living on a sloth is considered an example of mutualism because both of them benefit from each other.

Mutualism is one of the symbiotic relationships in which both the two species living together benefit in one way or another. A considerable example of such a relationship is between algae and a sloth.

The algae provide camouflage to the sloth and protect it from predators while the sloth provides shelter to the algae for its growth. The sloth also gets nutrition from algae which perform photosynthesis and synthesize food.

Another mutual relationship is observed between the aphids and ants. Aphids produce honeydew as a waste product of their diet which is consumed by ants. While ants protect the aphids from predators and parasites.

Certain flightless beetles have wings . Their wings are an example of which type of structure ?
Kisachek [45]
The correct answer is letter D. These beetles have an adapted structure. This refers to traits that they have inherited from their ancestors gene pool. Overtime the need and function for these structures are not needed by beetles in their overall survival, but the genetic code remains in their system which still gives birth to their wings that are not used anymore because of the new type of adaptation that they are going through.
