QUESTION:
During the winter, many species of amphibians and reptiles go into a hibernation-like state called overwintering. They eat little or no food, slow their metabolism and breathing rate dramatically, and most of their bodily functions shut down. Interestingly, many of these species choose to spend the winter underwater. Why might it be advantageous to overwinter at the bottom of a pond rather than on land? EXPLAIN.

- SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY, AND SOCIETY Imagine that you are a graduate student working with university scientists on the effects on sea turtles of the 2010 oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. What technologies might you employ to collect data for your research?

They are large, peaceful, gentle, curious creatures, and slow-moving swimmers. They spend many hours each day feeding on water plants. Manatees must surface to breathe every 15 minutes. The manatee's environment is changing because of hotels and homes being built along Florida's rivers, and the change is affecting them in a negative way. Noise and activity from people and boats scare them. Manatees can be seriously injured by powerboat propellers because the manatees cannot tell the direction from which the boats are coming. The water plants the manatees use for food are being destroyed. As a result of these and other changes in their surroundings, manatees are on the endangered species list and may one day be gone from Florida's rivers. What are two environmental conditions that might lead to the disappearance of manatees from Florida's rivers?
