Feather loss
- C.
Skin scaling
- D.
Depression
Correct Answer(s)
B. Feather loss
C. Skin scalingExplanation
Deficiencies in fatty acids can lead to various symptoms in animals. Feather loss and skin scaling are two common signs of fatty acid deficiency. Fatty acids play a crucial role in maintaining the health of the skin and feathers. When there is a deficiency, the skin may become dry and flaky, leading to scaling. Additionally, the lack of proper fatty acid intake can result in poor feather growth and feather loss. These symptoms are often seen in animals with imbalanced or inadequate diets lacking essential fatty acids. Depression and diarrhea are not typically associated with fatty acid deficiencies.Rate this question:

_______ adipose tissue is a specialized tissue that prodcues heat instead of AT in the electron transport chain.
Correct Answer(s)
brown
BrownExplanation
Brown adipose tissue is a specialized tissue that produces heat instead of ATP in the electron transport chain. It contains a higher number of mitochondria and a protein called uncoupling protein 1 (UCP1), which uncouples the electron transport chain from ATP synthesis, allowing the energy to be released as heat instead. This process is known as thermogenesis and helps to regulate body temperature and burn calories. Brown adipose tissue is more commonly found in newborns and hibernating animals, but recent research has shown that adults also have small amounts of brown adipose tissue, which could have implications for weight loss and metabolic health.Rate this question:
- 47.
Fast, lactic acid, small amounts of ATP
- A.
Anaerobic
- B.
Aerobic
Correct Answer
A. AnaerobicExplanation
Anaerobic refers to a type of exercise or activity that does not require oxygen. During anaerobic exercise, such as high-intensity weightlifting or sprinting, the body relies on stored energy sources, such as glycogen, to produce energy. This process produces lactic acid as a byproduct and only small amounts of ATP (adenosine triphosphate), which is the main energy currency of cells. Therefore, the given answer correctly describes the metabolic process and energy production during anaerobic activities.Rate this question:
-
- 48.
Slower, much more efficient, electron transport chain, oxidative phosphorylation, lots of ATP
- A.
Anaerobic
- B.
Aerobic
Correct Answer
B. AerobicExplanation
Aerobic respiration is the correct answer because it is characterized by a slower but much more efficient process that involves the electron transport chain and oxidative phosphorylation. This process occurs in the presence of oxygen and results in the production of lots of ATP.Rate this question:
-
- 49.
Smaller animals require _____ (less/more) engery per unit of mass.
Correct Answer
moreExplanation
Smaller animals require more energy per unit of mass because they have a higher metabolic rate compared to larger animals. This is because smaller animals have a higher surface area to volume ratio, which leads to a faster heat loss and higher energy expenditure to maintain their body temperature. Additionally, smaller animals have a higher heart rate and respiratory rate, both of which require more energy. Therefore, smaller animals need to consume more food and energy in order to sustain their higher metabolic demands.Rate this question:
- 50.
Smaller animals grow _____ (slower/faster).
Correct Answer
fasterExplanation
Smaller animals grow faster. This can be attributed to their smaller size and shorter lifespan compared to larger animals. Smaller animals have less mass to grow and develop, allowing them to reach maturity at a quicker rate. Additionally, smaller animals often have higher metabolic rates, which means they require more energy and nutrients to sustain their growth. As a result, smaller animals tend to grow faster than larger animals.Rate this question:
