<h2>Hibernation</h2>
Explanation:
C) the animal convert their stored fat molecules into ATP molecules; since ATP is highly unstable its uncoupled hydrolysis generates internal heat .
Hibernation can be referred as winter sleep. It is a process followed by animals to escape cold temperatures during winter. Most of the hibernating animals store fat in their body and have greater body mass. During this hibernation period their body breaks down the stored fat to release heat and keep the animal warm.
The 'ground substance' of extracellular matrix is an amorphous gelatinous material. It is transparent, colourless, and fills the spaces between fibres and cells. It actually consists of large molecules called glycosoaminoglycans (GAGs) which link together to form even larger molecules called proteoglycans. These molecules are very good at absorbing water, rather like a sponge, such that 90% of the extracellular matrix is made up of water. This means that the ECM is very good at resisting compressive forces.
In C4 plants, photosynthesis is compartmentalized into two; light-dependent stage and light independent stage. The light-dependent stage occurs in the mesophyll cells of the leaf. Here, CO2 is fixed into oxaloacetate by PEP carboxylase enzyme. The oxaloacetate is then converted to malate that is then transported to bundle-sheath cells (around the leaf veins). The CO2 is then released from the malate and the gas molecule is subsequently fixed by RuBiSCO like in C3 plants. The biggest advantage of C4 photosytheis is that the wasteful process of photorespiration is greatly reduced.
