Question

(08.01 MC)
A skunk living in the northern part of the United States is exposed to extreme cold and food shortages during the long winter months.
Based on the climate, what do you predict the skunk's innate response to these environmental factors will be?

A: Increase cellular respiration and ATP production
B:Estivate with a period of dormancy until the warmer weather arrives
C:Migrate to regions of warmer weather
D:Slow down its metabolic rate and lower its body temperature

Answer 1

Answer: cccccccc

Explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

I think the answer should be B, because skunk doesn't migrate or hibernate, and A doesn't make sense because when animal facing temperature drop and food shortage they do not speed up metabolic process, instead they will slowdown the metabolic process and save as much energy as possible.

(if you know what the correct answer is please tell me I'm stuck with this question too:) )
