Answer:
Both C and E are reasonable answers.
Explanation:
Homeostasis describes the body's ability to maintain a stable equilibirum. In other words, if the body experiences a stress, it will generate a response that works to counteract that stress and restore itself to how it was prior to the stress.
A. This describes a cause and effect (BP down --> venous return down). It does not describe an active physiological response to counteract the BP drop such as an increase in heart rate. Not homeostasis.
B. Again, a cause and effect is described. Blood vessel walls becoming thinner is not a response to counteract increased BP. Not homeostasis.
C. Here a response to a stress is described. Men are drinking more water. The body responds by getting rid of that water, restoring the body to its former state. This describes homeostasis.
D. This sounds like homeostasis, but it's actually the opposite of what happens. Dilation of peripheral blood vessels is a way for the body to get rid of heat. This is the opposite of what you would want if the body got colder - it would make the stress worse, which is the opposite of homeostasis. In actuality the response to cold temperature is constriction of blood vessels to preserve heat.
E. This deescribes homeostasis. The stress is increased glucose. The body's response to manage it is to release insulin, which helps remove the glucose from circulation.
Ground my dude! wanna know how I know! I checked the other answers on the other one :)
The discovery of DNA, as well as understanding of its functioning and structure, may well be the most essential findings of the last century.
The impact of the discovery of DNA on medical and scientific advancement has been huge, whether it involves the manufacturing and creation of drugs to cure the deadly diseases or to identify the genes, which stimulate several of the diseases.
The understanding of DNA and its structural composition has led to the discovery of various technologies that helps in the fields like genetic testing, identifying viruses, crime investigation, production of genetically modified organisms, and various others.
The answer is triceps muscles. These muscles run along the back
of the upper arm while the biceps run along the front. The triceps muscles
allow the arm to extend at the joint of the elbow, therefore an antagonist of the biceps that bend the forearm.
Answer: The correct answer is nucleotide.
Explanation:
Nucleic acids are the polymer of nucleotides which are attached with each other with the help of phospho-diester bonds.
Nucleotide consists of sugar (ribose in RNA and deoxyribose in DNA), phosphate group, and nitrogenous base (A, T, G, and in DNA; and A, U, G, and C in RNA).
