Answer:
d. paraffin
Explanation:
Paraffin has low thermal conductivity, a high heat capacity, and is insoluble in water.
The given statement is TRUE.
A positive feedback loop causes a self amplifying cycle in which a physiological change leads to even greater change in the same direction.
A negative feedback loop is a process in which the body senses a change, and activates mechanisms to reverse that change.
What is a positive feedback loop?
In nature, a positive feedback loop happens when the outcome of a reaction increases that reaction. A positive feedback loop pushes a system further away from the equilibrium goal if we consider a system in homeostasis. It takes place when something needs to happen quickly and does this by enhancing the effects of a product or event.
<u>Example</u> : Ripening of fruit
In nature, there is a strange phenomenon when a tree or bush may suddenly and silently begin to ripen all of its fruit or veggies. This is the first instance of a beneficial biological feedback loop we've found. If we see an apple tree with many apples, they all appear to ripen over night, going from being unripe to ripe to overripe. The first apple to ripen will mark the start of this. It releases ethylene (C2H4) via its skin when it is ripe. The apples nearby ripen as a result of being exposed to this gas. As soon as they are ripe, they too begin to generate ethylene, which continues to ripen the rest of the tree in a manner akin to a wave.

Prokaryotic cells are cells without a nucleus and has simple parts free flowing in the cell. Some examples are Escherichia Coli Bacterium (E. coli). It is a rod-shaped bacterium commonly found in the lower intestine of warm-blooded organisms. And Streptococcus Bacterium. This prokaryote is responsible for strep throat. It is an infection of the back of the throat which includes the tonsils.
The organism that gets it's energy directly from the sun is PHYTOPLANKTON.
In order to survive the winter, monarch butterflies "migrate to warmer areas".
<u>Option: B</u>
<u>Explanation:</u>
- The survival for Monarch butterflies is not possible in any of the United States 'cold winters, therefore they are needed to migrate south and west every autumn to avoid the cold temperatures.
- This species migration usually begins around every year in October, but may begin quicker if the weather turns cold earlier than that.
- Thus they spend their winter hibernation all year round in Mexico and some areas of Southern California where the temperature is warmer.
- If the monarch stays in the Eastern states, typically east of the Rocky Mountains, then they will migrate to Mexico and hibernate in <em>oyamel fir</em> trees.
