The Polar Bear and Adaptations The polar bear is seen by many as the beautiful white bear that lives in the cold and ice of the areas within the North Pole. They may never look beyond the beauty to see the animal has progressed through natural selection to become a creature that endures and thrives in the frigid temperatures and prolific ice. The polar bear has adapted in various ways such as temperature regulation‚ hunting skills‚ movement in water and on ice. The bears white coat makes hunting

Cellular respiration is the process of converting chemical energy of organic molecules such as glucose into a form of energy usable by organisms. This energy is mainly produced in the mitochondrial matrix and takes form in the molecule adenosine triphosphate [also known as ATP]‚ which is made up of an adenosine with a three phosphate tail group. The reason why ATP produces energy is due to the loss of the third phosphate group. The third phosphate‚ when released‚ releases the bond energy and supplies

Cultural Shock and Adaptation Cultural shock is when a person faces many stressors through experiencing new culture‚ and it may lead to psychological crises or social dysfunction. Cultural shock mostly occurs on immigrants (e.g. students‚ business people‚ social change‚ etc). The reaction of cultural shock depends on various factors‚ the experience of other culture adaptation‚ the difference between the home culture and the new culture‚ and the psychological characteristics of the person. There

Aerobic - There are three significant adaptations associated with the constant performance of aerobic training. Aerobic training usually produces an increase in functional capacities related to oxygen transport and use in the body. Endurance training produces significant increases in maximal oxygen consumption (VO2max). Maximal oxygen consumption is an indicator of the level of cardiovascular ‚ neuromuscular ‚ and pulmonary functions. Cardiovascular adaptations to this type of training are cardiac

Cellular respiration is the action when cells release energy by chemical bonds from food molecules and provides that efficiency for the essential process of life. Every living thing must carry out cellular respiration‚ and it can either be aerobic respiration or anaerobic respiration. During the process‚ prokaryotic cells carry out cellular respiration within the cytoplasm‚ or‚ in the inner surfaces of the cells. In cellular respiration‚ the reactants are oxygen and glucose. When an organism breathes

In addition‚ the whales next adaptation is the way the humpback whale gets its air to breathe. a-z-animals.com states that “The humpback whale has not one but two blow holes‚ which are located on the top of the humpback whale’s head.” Finding food‚ this adaptation helps the humpback survive because it allows them to hold more air and then they barely have to swim up to the top of the water. Just as important‚ the glorious creature’s next adaptation is what keeps the whales warm

Chronic Training Adaptations Exercise or training regularly over an extended period of time (3 times per week for 6-8 weeks) leads to the development of long-term or chronic adaptations to training. Evidence of these adaptations can occur at various stages Once achieved‚ these adaptations are retrained unless training ceases. Upon cessation‚ the body will gradually revert to its pre-training condition (de-training). Unlike acute responses to exercises‚ chronic adaptations to training vary

Abstract The experiment aims to observe if simpler substrates makes the rate of cellular respiration faster. Using yeast‚ smith fermentation tubes and different substrates namely‚ starch‚ lactose‚ sucrose‚ glucose and fructose‚ which are from different kinds of carbohydrates‚ ranging from the simplest sugars glucose and fructose to the polysaccharide starch and water as the control‚ the hypothesis was tested. With the span of thirty minutes with five-minute intervals‚ the height of carbon dioxide

mass extinctions over time. Because of the extinctions‚ adaptations appeared‚ more need to evolve became apparent‚ and made it easier to evolve via the climate and environment. The first thing extinctions influenced was adaptations. As stated in the documentary series: Walking with monsters‚ without specific animals‚ the environment changes. As the environments change‚ usually animals do as well. A specific example of this would be the adaptation of early Haikouichthys. Haikouichthys adapted many things

Adaptation/ Plasticity: The human brain is able to change and adapt at any given age as if it was made of plastic‚ with the help of brain mapping we are able to know what sections are the most flexible and how it affects human behavior. We (humans) start out being less well adapted to our environment than any other animal. By the time we are adults we can use tools that our genetic heritage couldn’t have possibly taught our nervous system to use like phones‚ computers‚ etc. This is due to neuroplasticity
