1. how are hibernation and diapause similar?

a. both chemically alter the blood.
b. both cause body processes to speed up, as the organism becomes active.
c. both cause body processes to slow down, as the organism becomes inactive.
d. both cause body processes to slow down so much, that it is hard for the organism to survive.
a
b
c
d

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Option A: Diapause (in insects) and hibernation (in mammals) don't primarily involve blood chemical alteration as a defining similarity. Eliminate A.
• Option B: Both hibernation and diapause are states of reduced activity, so body processes slow, not speed up. Eliminate B.
• Option C: Hibernation (mammals) and diapause (insects) are periods of inactivity where metabolic/body processes slow down to conserve energy. This matches.
• Option D: These states are adaptive, helping survival (not making it hard). Eliminate D.

Answer:

C. Both cause body processes to slow down, as the organism becomes inactive.
