Answer:
This question is incomplete, the options are:
A) Decreased temperature
B) Strong southerly winds
C) Presence of a predator
D) Lack of water
The answer is C
Explanation:
A stimulus is something that provokes a response or reaction in a living organism. It can either be internal or external. An animal can respond to stimulus such as hunger, heat, predator etc.
However, among all the listed stimuli in the options, the PRESENCE OF A PREDATOR is most likely to result in a more rapid heartbeat in an animal. This is because the predator stimulus will require the animal to respond by running in order to survive. Running will increase its metabolic activity and cause its heartbeat to increase.
Answer:
Absorption
Thousands of pores on the surface of the skin can absorb vitamins, acids, water and oxygen in order to provide moisture and nourishment to our skin.
Excretion
The skin is the body’s largest waste removal system. Toxins are released through the sweat glands and pores.
Secretion
The skin secretes sebum, a mixture of oils that keeps the skin soft and supple. The layer of sebum on the outermost layer of the skin is known as the acid mantle. When intact the acid mantle has a PH that ranges from 4.5-5.5. The acid mantle is acidic in nature to protect the skin from outside invasion.
Regulation
The skin regulates the body’s temperature by sweating; when water from sweat on the skin evaporates it gives off heat and cools the body. The body’s temperature increases or by shivering or getting goosebumps when the body is cold. The contraction of muscles releases energy that warms the body.
Sensation
The skin contains millions of nerve endings that transport stimuli. These nerve endings allow humans to detect sensation such as heat, cold, pain and pressure.

Answer:
The organism will pass on the traits to their offspring. If the offspring also has an increased chance of survival it will have a higher chance of passing on the traits. Over a long period of time the entire population can inherit this trait.
Explanation:
According to the theory of natural selection organisms with beneficial traits are more likely to survive to the reproductive stage and pass on the beneficial gene to their offspring. <em>Natural selection selects beneficial traits.</em>
Answer:
A
Explanation:
You have to repeat it to see which result you see more of, because that would most likely be the correct solution.
Cells get energy by breaking down food molecules. The process of breaking down food to restore energy to the cells is called Cellular Respiration.
