The answer is 1,2 and 5. 
Elephants lost their fur because they live in warmer climates and instead have larger ears to regulate their body temperature. They are excellent swimmers too.

Explain why a message moving along nerve pathways takes time.
TiliK225 [7]
The conduction of nerve impulses relies upon the movement of positively-charged ions across the nerve cell membrane. The entry of sodium into the cell produces a wave of positive charge that travels down the length of an axon. Then chemicals called neurotransmitters are secreted out of the end of the axon onto the next nerve in the series (the postsynpatic nerve). This narrow space in between neurons is called the synapse. These neurotransmiiters released by the presynaptic nerve bind to receptors on the postsynaptic nerve. The binding of these receptors opens up channels in this second nerve's membrane that allow sodium ions to enter the nerve cell and initiate another wave of positive charge, and so on... The nerve signal can only move as fast as these ions and neurotransmitters can diffuse to generate this process. 

<span>As a professional athlete repeats a given activity many times over, the nerve cells "upregulate" their receptors, meaning that they produce additional receptors to put in the membrane. This is just a natural reaction to the nerve being repeatedly stimulated in the same way over and over. When neurotransmitter is secreted from the presynaptic neuron, there are more receptors on the postsynaptic neuron for it to bind, more channels open up, more ions enter in a shorter time and build up positive charge to create the impulse faster, and so the overall effect is faster. </span>

<span>Additionally, there are sheaths of fatty tissue (called myelin) that insulate the charge in the neuron and allow it to be conducted faster. As people age, these sheaths can start to degrade, making the nerve cell more "leaky" and causing the impulse to be conducted more slowly. </span>

Identify the interactions as positive, negative, or both.
Mice21 [21]

1. A mudslide wipes out the side of a thriving hill: This is negative as many trees and other organisms will get destroyed.

2. A volcano erupts, covering the nearby land with lava: This is negative as molten and extremely hot lava can cause serious damage to its surroundings.

3. A forest is rapidly growing new plant life: This is positive because new plants are being grown.

4. Humans remove wolves from a national park to protect surrounding homes: This is positive for humans because humans will be safe but it is negative for the eco system as removal of wolves can upset the eco system cycle.

5. A dam is built in the middle of a river ecosystem to supply water to a nearby town: This is positive for humans as a new water resource is being developed for humans but negative for aquatic organisms as the dam can hamper their ecosystem and can cause pollution in water.
