An elephant and a mouse are running in full sunlight, and both overheat by the same amount above their normal body temperatures. When they move into the shade and rest, which animal will cool down faster?

OPTIONS:

a. the elephant will because it has the higher surface area to volume ratio

b. the elephant will because it has the lower surface area to volume ratio

c. they will cool at the same rate because they overheated by the same amount

d. the mouse will because it has the higher surface area to volume ratio

d. the mouse will because it has the higher surface area to volume ratio

Explanation:

The rate of cooling down or heat loss from the body of animals is directly related to the ratio of the surface area to volume. This is simply due to he fact that, the body mass or volume of an animal increases cubically, while its surface area increases as squared. In order words, As the animal grows bigger, the inside volume increases more than its outside or body surface area. Therefore, the larger the surface area-to-volume ratio of an animal, the faster the rate of cooling down or heat loss.

A mouse, in comparison to an elephant, has higher surface area to volume ratio, hence, the mouse would cool down faster than the elephant .

The answer to that question is a

Proteins are the workhorses of the cell, controlling virtually every reaction within as well as providing structure and serving as signals to other cells. proteins are long chains of  amino acids  , and the exact sequence of the amino acids determines the final structure and function of the protein. instructions for that sequence are encoded in  genes  . to make a particular protein, a messenger ribonucleic acid (mrna) copy is made from the gene (in the process called  transcription  ), and the mrna is transported to the  ribosome  . protein synthesis, also called  translation  , begins when the two ribosomal subunits link onto the mrna. this step, called initiation, is followed by elongation, in which successive amino acids are added to the growing chain, brought in by transfer rnas (trnas). in this step, the ribosome reads the  nucleotides  of mrna three by three, in units called  codons  , and matches each to three nucleotides on the trna, called the anticodon. finally, during termination, the ribosome unbinds from the mrna, and the  amino acid  chain goes on to be processed and folded to make the final, functional protein
