D2. Explain the importance of homeostasis in maintaining the healthy functioning of the body. Homeostasis is vital for the maintenance of healthy functioning of the body. It is important the body keeps to a narrow range of variables‚ and without it ‚ chemical reactions and metabolic processes within the body cannot be carried out properly‚ which can cause disease and complications. If the body cannot maintain its temperature‚ this can cause the person to overheat‚ resulting in hyperthermia. This

Description The seals are named for and known for their thick fur. Europeans first named them sea bears. Seal pups are born with a black pelt and later on becomes a dark brown. The adult males have gray hair on the back of their necks. Males are much larger than females are. Size Male pups weight 5.4 kg at birth and then grow to 175-275 kg. Female pups weigh 4.5 kg at birth and grow to 30-50 kg. Population/Lifespan 1 Million but the population is decreasing due to people hunting the seals and

Answers: Reproductive cells undergo meiosis Non-germ cells are reproduced Red blood cells undergo meiosis Number of chromosomes reduces by half in phase one Cell divides to produce four daughter cells Response Feedback: Meiosis occurs only in replicating gametes or reproducing cells. In phase one‚ the number of chromosomes is reduced by half but the chromatid pairs remain together. In phase

to repeat investigations to identify errors and correct them. Scientific theories can always be proven wrong. Seven shared characteristics of life are: cellular organization‚ homeostasis‚ metabolism‚ response to stimuli‚ reproduction‚ growth/development‚ and heredity. The basic unit of life is a cell. Homeostasis is the ability of a body to maintain stable internal conditions. Examples would include how we sweat and dogs pant. Response to stimuli is the reacting to outside forces. An example

Feedback Mechanisms How do organisms regulate complex systems through chemical interactions? Why? The heating system of a house works to keep the temperature constant. If the house gets too cold‚ then the heat automatically turns on to warm the house. The heat stops when the preset temperature is reached. This is an example of a feedback mechanism. Organisms use many feedback mechanisms to either maintain or amplify important chemical systems. This could happen at a molecular level to coordinate

composition of extracellular and intracellular fluids is vital to life. List and briefly describe the kinds of homeostasis involved. In males and females‚ intracellular fluid has a greater proportion of total body water than does extracellular fluid. Give-and-take between the ICF and the ECF happens across plasma membranes by osmosis‚ diffusion‚ and carrier-mediated transport. The kinds of homeostasis involved are fluid Balance‚ electrolyte Balance‚ and Acid–Base Balance. Fluid balance is when the quantity
