Diet rich in cholesterol is believed to increase the risk of cardiovascular disease.Egg is classified as cholesterol rich food, with a whole egg contains anapproximately of 200 mg of cholesterol.Is it true that a person, whether well or suffering from a chronic condition, should only eat one egg each day? Justify your answer
On a cool day, a crab (a poikilothermic animal) is sleeping on a rock and not consuming any food. Compare what happens to its mass over the next two hours on this cold day verses on a warm day?
Group of answer choices
Its mass will decrease faster on the colder day than on the warmer day because the crab must increase its respiration rate to warm its body.
Its mass will decrease slower on the colder day than on the warmer day because cellular respiration in the crab’s cells is occurring faster on the cold day.
Its mass will decrease slower on the cold day than the warm day because the crab will conserve its fat stores to survive the cold temperature.
Its mass will decrease the same amount on the colder as on the warmer day because the crab is not consuming food.
None of the above
Predict what would happen to the metabolic rate of the mouse if you increased the temperature. Predict what would happen to the metabolic rate of the mouse if you decreased the temperature (You can make this prediction with text or with lines on your graph). Support your prediction with evidence about endotherms and ectotherms. (Hint: Think about what happens to your body when you get hot or cold.)
