Want to know:
The body loses heat quickly in cold water. A researcher investigated the effect of length of time ina bath of ice-cold water on the reaction times of 20 healthy people aged between 21 and 23years of age.She measured each person's reaction time after being left in ice-cold water for 15, 30 or 45seconds. She also recorded each person's reaction time before being placed in the ice-coldwater (0 seconds).The table shows her results.One reason that reaction time is slower when body temperature falls is becausenerve impulse conduction is slower. Explain how a lower temperature leads to slowernerve impulse conduction.

- Prior to 1960, Lake Washington was highly polluted and underwater visibility was limited to one or two meters. In the late 1960s, a large cleanup effort reduced pollution, resulting in visibility that increased to six to seven meters by 1976. Which of the following best explains how the change in underwater visibility affected armor plating in Lake Washington sticklebacks between 1957 and 1976?AHigher visibility allowed sticklebacks to increase their food consumption to make armor production easier.BHigher visibility made the sticklebacks more susceptible to large-toothed predators in the lakes, giving complete armor a selective advantage.CClearer water allowed sunlight to penetrate to deeper depths, so the sticklebacks had to increase the amount of armor to protect themselves from the resulting increase in water temperature.DClearer water contained fewer of the molecular building blocks needed for armor production, so sticklebacks showed a reduction in the amount of armor.
