Suppose that a small mainland tortoise and a large island tortoise are placed in the same pen at a zoo. which tortoise will experience greater variation in body temperature over a 24 hr period, the small or large tortoise? a. body temperature will be more variable in the small tortoise. b. body temperature will be more variable in the large tortoise. c. there would be no difference between the tortoises.

Alternative A

Explanation:

The bigger the tortoises the better it can maintain its internal temperature and for longer than other smaller tortoises. What helps maintain the temperature is the help of food digestion in which raises the internal temperature of the animal. Along with the larger surface area and larger biological "mass" the thermal loss of the larger tortoises is reduced.

answer:

the water molecules are transferred from the roots to the stem or top parts of the tall tree because of important properties of water which are adhesion, cohesion and capillary action. cohesion is the property of water molecules keeps water molecules in a combined state by sharing of bonds between them at the atomic level. adhesion allows the interaction of water molecules with other substances or substrate. adhesion will cause the attachment of water molecules to the wall of the vessel (xylem) of the plant. capillary action occurs when the adhesive force to the vessel wall is stronger than the cohesive force between water molecules. capillary action mimics the transfer of water from a tube or pipe. in this way water utilizes its property to transfer water from down to top level of the plant.
