It can be said that metabolism and homeostasis are related. why can you not achieve homeostasis without metabolism?

a. metabolism is all chemical reactions in a body therefore building and breaking down molecules will allow for the correct balance of conditions on the body which is homeostasis.

b. metabolism is the constant set of conditions in the body that is achieved by the building and breaking down of molecules during homeostasis.

c. homeostasis and metabolism do not have a relationship. one does not have an effect on the other.

tsd is temerature dependent sex determination.

tsd: it is a type of environmental sex determination in which the temperature experienced during embryonic/ larval development (ambient temperature for development) determine the sex of the offspring.

crocodile displays the tsd where the ambient temperature of the developing egg determines the individual's sex. for example in the american alligator's eggs, incubation at 33 ºc produces mostly males, while incubation at 30 ºc produces mostly females. so if the american alligator's egg will get the ambient temperature (33 degree celcius)during embryonic development from egg, the offspring will be male and same for the female sex determination.

on island x the species needed to adapt because they were being subject to predators which didn't inhabit island y.
