Question

based on what you know about mechanisms for generating additional heat, you would expect someone living in a very cold environment to __.
a require many more calories than someone living in a moderate environment.
b require many fewer calories than someone living in a moderate environment.
c require the same amount of calories than someone living in a moderate environment.
d require at least three times as much protein as someone living in a moderate environment.
question 10
the tissue type that functions in receiving, processing and transmitting information by providing a communication network among cells is:
a epithelial
b connective
c nervous

Explanation:

For the first question: In cold environments, the body needs more energy (Calories) to generate additional heat via thermogenesis to maintain core temperature, so more Calories are required than in moderate environments. Option D is incorrect because protein needs don’t triple; energy needs increase generally, not just protein. For the second question: Nervous tissue (neurons and glial cells) specializes in receiving, processing, and transmitting electrical/chemical signals between cells, forming a communication network. Epithelial tissue covers surfaces, connective tissue supports structures—neither handles signal transmission.

Answer:

A. require many more Calories than someone living in a moderate environment.
C. Nervous
