Read this part of the text. Which sentence gives the best summary of this paragraph? A Scientists found out that wood frogs grow fur or fat in the winter. B Scientists learned that wood frogs use sugar to keep from freezing. C Scientists learned that wood frogs dig deeper holes than other animals. D Scientists found out that temperatures go below freezing many times. So how does the wood frog freeze and live? Scientists are trying to find out. They do not know all the answers yet. But they have learned some things. Temperatures go below freezing. Wood frogs fill their cells with sugar. The sugar helps keep their cells from freezing. Copyright © 2025 DREAMBOX LEARNING, INC.

Alaskan Wood Frogs can freeze up to 60 percent of their body. The frogs build up their glucose (sugar) concentrations in tissues and organs of the frog. This helps prevent the cells in the tissues from shrinking or dying Which of the following BEST explains how this adaptation increases the probability the Alaskan Wood Frog will survive in this environment? When food sources are scarce, this allows the frog to survive until more food is readily available. Due to the large terrain of Alaska, the frog can freeze itself to preserve energy while traveling across the state. When harsh winter conditions develop in the area, the frog can prevent the change in the environment from affecting its homeostatic processes. As predators seek out the frog, its senses allow it to notify the internal processes to freeze. This prevents the predator from being notified there is prey nearby

When the water inside a living cell freezes, the ice crystals damage the cell. The wood frog is a unique creature that can survive being frozen. In extremely cold conditions, the frogs liver produces large amounts of glucose (C6H12O6), which becomes concentrated in the frog's cells. How does the glucose help prevent ice from forming in the frogs cells? A)The added glucose dissociates and creates faster moving molecules. B) The added glucose lowers the vapor pressure relative to the pure solvent. C) The added glucose requires more energy which warms the frog D)The added glucose lowers the freezing point of the solution within the frog's cells.
