Which statement regarding hooded seals is true?

Accepted Answer

D

Question 3

Which source is the most significant oxygen store during a mammalian dive?

Accepted Answer

Hemoglobin is the most significant oxygen store during a mammalian dive because it binds to oxygen in the lungs and transports it to the tissues.

Question 13

The human _______ has(have) attained its(their) fully grown size by the time a person is 7 years of age.

Accepted Answer

The human brain reaches about 90% of its adult size by the age of 7, whereas the other organs continue to grow and develop beyond this age.

Question 14

A 5-year-old human child typically devotes 50% of his or her total body metabolism to

Accepted Answer

In a 5-year-old child, the brain consumes a significant portion of the body's energy, approximately 50% of total metabolism, due to its rapid development and high energy demands.
