What is homeostatic imbalance?

Biology
1 answer:
Ostrovityanka [42]2 years ago
7 0

Answer: An homeostatic imbalance is where the body is unable to restore a functional, stable internal environment in oneself.

Explanation: the word "homeostatic" comes from homeostasis which means to keep the body in normal conditions like your body temperature  (making sure it's not too high or low) and fluid balance (ex; your water intake). And for the word "imbalance" it means the opposite of balance which will mean it's abnormal and unstable.

Prokaryotic bacteria are surrounded by a ____________ that contains the ____________ to regulate the entry and exit of materials
lukranit [14]

Prokaryotic bacteria are surrounded by a cell membrane that contains the transport proteins to regulate the entry and exit of materials through the cell, the cell wall to help maintain cell shape and structure, and the capsule, which aids against drying out and protects bacteria from a host's immune system.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

Bacteria are the prokaryotic organisms that are found in every part of Earth. These organisms do have an interesting ultrastructure. The coverings of the bacteria are three in layer. They are

A. The outer capsule.

B. The middle cell wall.

C. The inner cell membrane.

The capsule is the outermost covering of bacteria that is formed of different slimy materials. These materials contains hygroscopic substances which can absorb water from the surroundings even when the water concentration in outside is very very low. This layer of protection outside bacteria help them to protect themselves against drying out at dry conditions.

The middle cell wall is formed of polymers of N acetyl glucosamine and N acetyl muramic acid. This layer is chitin in nature and is strong enough to maintain the shape and size of bacteria irrespective of outer conditions.

The innermost layer of bacteria is cell membrane which is formed of proteins and lipids bilayer and this cell membrane contains different transport for proteins which help in transport of different substances like water and nutrients inside the cell by means of active transport or passive diffusion.

A mutation occurring in a human can be passed
loris [4]
The correct answer is 2. 

A mutation can only be passed on to offspring if it occurs in the sex cell of the parent, which is what then forms the offspring. This renders all the other answers incorrect, because they do not happen in the gametes of ovaries or testes (the sex organs of females and males, respectively).
