Some migratory birds are heterothermic, meaning they sometimes maintain a constant body temperature and other times allow their

body temperature to vary. For example, on cold nights, they sometimes reduce their metabolic rate and allow their body temperature to drop as the air temperature falls. Which of the following hypotheses about this unusual strategy is consistent with what you learned in this section?
A. Birds allow their temperature to drop in order to increase their assimilation efficiency.
B. Birds allow their temperature drop in order to increase their production efficiency.
C. Birds allow their temperature to drds in order to increase their consumption efficiency.

Answer:

B. Birds allow their temperature drop in order to increase their production efficiency.

Explanation:

Most birds can drop the temperature a few centigrade degrees, while there are torpid birds capable of lowering much more. Birds can drop body temperature in response to environmental conditions. Bird species including, among others, swifts, hummingbirds and chickadees are capable of regulating body temperature during torpor state. There are different morphological and behavioral adaptative traits that enable birds to minimize the cost of thermoregulation. In the first place, epidermis surface allows heat loss to the environment, while arteries and veins in the legs help to retain heat in cold conditions.

What are the general characteristics of sexual reproduction in humans and other vertebrates that are associated with continuous
aliya0001 [1]
Production of sperms is referred as spermatogenesis and production of ovum or egg is called oogenesis. Spermatogenesis and oogenesis are similar in a way in humans as bth these processes produce large numbers of sperms and eggs. Spermatogenesis is a continuous process where large numbers of sperms are produced at once and uses less energy. Ovulation is a process where only one egg or ovum matures at a time requires more energy. Not all the egg cells mature in females.

Brainliest answer for correct. Thanks
makvit [3.9K]

Answer:

The correct answer is option B, Encourage people in the neighborhood to use more disposable products.

Explanation:

The best way to reduce the waste is to stop its negative impact at the source of generation. In a neighbor hood,  all the house can be considered as a source of waste generation. Thus if people are encouraged to use disposable product, it would be very easy to just collect and dump the waste without segregation. This will save time, money and effort.

How is frogs excretory system different then the human system
jeka57 [31]
Transcript of EXCRETORY SYSTEM OF THE FROG AND HUMANTHE URINARY SYSTEM IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE ELIMINATION OF WASTS VIA THE URINE. THE BASIC UNIT OF FUNCTION IS THE NEPHRON COMPOSED OF THE GLOMERULUS AND A SERIES OF TUBULES RESPONSIBLE FOR THE EXCRETION OF WASTES, REABSORPTION OF VALUABLE SUBSTANCES, AND FILTRATION OF BLOOD.
URINARY SYSTEM OF HUMAN
<span>EXCRETORY SYSTEM OF THE FROG AND HUMAN </span>
EACH KIDNEY CONTAINS UP TO 18 LOBULES AND THOSE 18 LOBES CONTAINS NEPHRONS ARE THE FUNCTIONAL UNIT OF THE KIDNEYS AND EACH KIDNEY CONTAINS MORE THAN 1 MILLION NEPHRONS. IN THE NEPHRONS COMPOSED OF GLOMERULUS FILTERS THE BLOOD LEAVING THE FILTRATE INSIDE THE GLOMERULAR SPACE. THE FILTRATE HAS SIMILAR CHARACTERISTICS TO PLASMA EPT IN THE PRESENCE OF PROTEINS IN THE FORM OF ALBUMIN. THE FILTRATE THEN GOES INTO THE PROXIMAL CONVOLUTED TUBULES WHERE MAJORITY OF THE SUBTANCES ARE REABSORBED.
KIDNEY
THE FLUID ENTERS THE DESCEDING LIMB OF HENLE WHERE IT IS IMPERMEABLE TO MINERALS AND OTHER SUBTANCES. THEREFORE, THE FLUID INSIDE THE TUBULES BECOMES HYPERTONIC COMPARED TO PLASMA. AS THE FLUID INSIDE GOES UP INTO THICK ASCENDING LIMB OF HENLE, WATER BECOMES IMPERMEABLE. THUS, IT IS ONE OF THE IMPORTANT DILUTING SEGMENTS OF THE URINARY SYSTEM. THERE IS ACTIVE TRANSPORT OF VARIOUS PHYSIOLOGICALLY IMPORTANT IONS SUCH AS POTASSIUM IONS, SODIUM IONS AND OTHERS.
URINARY SYSTEM OF THE FROG
EXCRETORY SYSTEM OF FEMALE FROG
EXCRETORY SYSTEM OF THE MALE FROG
LIQUID WASTE GENERATED BY THE KIDNEYS TRAVELS THROUGH THE MESONEPHRIC DUCT INTO E CLOACA. SOLID WASTE FROM THE LARGE INTESTINE PASSES INTO THE CLOACA. BOTH SOLID AND LIQUID WASTE MATERIALS LEAVE THE BODY THROUGH THE ANUS, THE ONLY OPENING FOUND IN THE POSTERIOR PART OF THE BODY.
THE FLUID THEN GOES INTO THE THIN ASCENDING LOOP OF HENLE AND INTO THE DISTAL CONVOLUTED TUBULE WHERE WATER AND SODIUM REABSORPTION IS EFFECTED BY ALDOSTERONE SECRETION BY THE ADRENAL CORTEX. THE FLUID THEN GOES IONTO COLLECTING TUBULES WHERE WATER REABSORPTION IS AFFECTED BY ADH.SOME REABSORPTION OF IMPORTANT IONS STILL OCCURS IN THESE FINAL SEGMENTS.
THE NEPRON
FINALLY, THE URINE DRAINS INTO THE MINOR AND MAJOR CALYX TO GO INTO THE RENAL PELVIS. FROM HERE IT IS DRAINED BY THE URETER TO BE TEMPORARILY STORED IN THE BLADDER WHERE PERIODIC EMPTYING OCCURS VIA THE URETHRA THROUGH THE PROCESS OF URINATION. THE URETHRA CONNECTS THE URINARY BLADDER TO THE GENITALS FOR THE REMOVAL OF URIE OUT OF THE BODY.
