Structure - The jelly-like substance composed of mainly water and found between the cell membrane and nucleus. The cytoplasm makes up most of the "body" of a cell and is constantly streaming. Function - Organelles are found here and substances like salts may be dissolved in the cytoplasm.
1. Jesi is on vacation and visited a seafood restaurant to eat a shrimp dinner. About thirty minutes after eating, she begins to feel ill and her stomach is rumbling. Shortly after, she begins to vomit. Jesi's body is experiencing a reaction to an ________ stimulus.
internal response
2. During a stressful or threatening situation, which of the following is the best description of how the nervous systems in your body would respond?
The parasympathetic nervous system senses the danger and the sympathetic nervous system responds by releasing adrenaline.
3. Which of the following scenarios is the best example of positive feedback?
As blood pressure decreases, your heart rate increases.
Yes, these actions are an example of homeostasis. To fully understand this question you need to know the basic concept of homeostasis. Homeostasis is the body's regulation. What do I mean by that? It's simple, when you have a fever your body's temperature can skyrocket to 100 or more, when you start to sweat or get the chills that's your body's way to cool you down and fight the infection. Another example; when you do any physical activity, you sweat from it depending on the intensity. If you didn't sweat you would probably overheat and that would lead to other complications. Basically when you do exercise you sweat because your body is warm and that's the homeostasis mechanism that helps cool down your body bring it to it's normal temperature. So in end answering your question in more detail by the liver regulating the body by taking glucose in when levels are too high or adding glucose in when levels are too low is an example of homeostasis because the body is regulating itself to come back to it's normal healthy function state.
Hope this helped :)
This description is unspecific and is confusing...
The nose has different functions mainly for inhalation of oxygen and exhalation of carbon dioxide which is called the respiration process or gas exchange. As a sensory organ, the nose has also another function which is olfaction, the ability to smell.
Olfaction in a biopsychological term, is the process by which sensory information recognized by the nasal receptors are transduced in a understandable and recognizable stimulus or rather perception, in simplest term is to smell.
Therefore, nasal receptors are the structures that send messages to the facial nerve which is responsible for sending the information to the brain for it to be perceived and acknowledge.
The prokaryote cell is simpler, and therefore smaller, than a eukaryote cell, lacking a nucleus and most of the other organelles of eukaryotes. There are two kinds of prokaryotes: bacteria and archaea; these share a similar structure.
<span>Nuclear material of prokaryotic cell consist of a single chromosome that is in direct contact with cytoplasm. Here, the undefined nuclear region in the cytoplasm is called nucleoid. </span>
<span>A prokaryotic cell has three architectural regions: </span>
<span>On the outside, flagella and pili project from the cell's surface. These are structures (not present in all prokaryotes) made of proteins that facilitate movement and communication between cells; </span>
<span>Enclosing the cell is the cell envelope – generally consisting of a cell wall covering a plasma membrane though some bacteria also have a further covering layer called a capsule. The envelope gives rigidity to the cell and separates the interior of the cell from its environment, serving as a protective filter. Though most prokaryotes have a cell wall, there are exceptions such as Mycoplasma (bacteria) and Thermoplasma (archaea). The cell wall consists of peptidoglycan in bacteria, and acts as an additional barrier against exterior forces. It also prevents the cell from expanding and finally bursting (cytolysis) from osmotic pressure against a hypotonic environment. Some eukaryote cells (plant cells and fungi cells) also have a cell wall; </span>
<span>Inside the cell is the cytoplasmic region that contains the cell genome (DNA) and ribosomes and various sorts of inclusions. A prokaryotic chromosome is usually a circular molecule (an exception is that of the bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi, which causes Lyme disease). Though not forming a nucleus, the DNA is condensed in a nucleoid. Prokaryotes can carry extrachromosomal DNA elements called plasmids, which are usually circular. Plasmids enable additional functions, such as antibiotic resistance. </span>
<span>--------------------------------------... </span>
<span>Eukaryotic cells </span>
<span>Plants, animals, fungi, slime moulds, protozoa, & algae are all Eukaryotic. These cells are about 15 times wider than a typical prokaryote and can be as much as 1000 times greater in volume. The major difference between prokaryotes and eukaryotes is that eukaryotic cells contain membrane-bound compartments in which specific metabolic activities take place. Most important among these is a cell nucleus, a membrane-delineated compartment that houses the eukaryotic cell's DNA. This nucleus gives the eukaryote its name, which means "true nucleus." Other differences include: </span>
<span>The plasma membrane resembles that of prokaryotes in function, with minor differences in the setup. Cell walls may or may not be present. </span>
<span>The eukaryotic DNA is organized in one or more linear molecules, called chromosomes, which are associated with histone proteins. All chromosomal DNA is stored in the cell nucleus, separated from the cytoplasm by a membrane. Some eukaryotic organelles such as mitochondria also contain some DNA. </span>
<span>Many eukaryotic cells are ciliated with primary cilia. Primary cilia play important roles in chemosensation, mechanosensation, and thermosensation. Cilia may thus be "viewed as sensory cellular antennae that coordinate a large number of cellular signaling pathways, sometimes coupling the signaling to ciliary motility or alternatively to cell division and differentiation." </span>
<span>Eukaryotes can move using motile cilia or flagella. The flagella are more complex than those of prokaryotes.
