Answer:

(C). thermoregulation and hormone transport.

Explanation:

Homeostasis can be defined as a steady state of internal body conditions maintained by living organisms.Cardiovascular system helps the body to maintain homeostasis through thermoregulation and transport of hormones.

Thermoregulation involves regulation of internal body temperature. Cardiovascular system works to transport nutrients, oxygen, and hormones to various tissues and organs through blood.

It helps in heat exchange between internal organs, skin or tissues to maintain internal body temperature. All endocrine glands secrete hormones directly to the blood stream, from where the hormones are transported to different tissues and organs and show their response.

Thus, the correct answer is option (C).

The right answer is C. thermoregulation and hormone transport.

The cardiovascular system has the function of distributing the blood to the organs.

Blood is a red and slightly viscous liquid that circulates in the blood vessels, propelled by the heart, is essential to the maintenance of life. It transports nutrients, oxygen and hormones to the cells of the body, and rids them of their waste.

Blood circulation helps control body temperature and regulates the volume of certain liquids in the tissues. In addition, the blood carries white blood cells, which defend our body against germs.

Although each of the following has a better chance of influencing gene frequencies in small populations than in large population

MakcuM [25]

Answer:

genetic drift

Explanation:

Genetic drift is an evolutionary force that requires the presence of a small population. It is a random process that fixes one or other alleles randomly in the gene pool of a population. Genetic drift does not take account of survival fitness imparted by alleles to the individuals. Since random and chance events such as the death of all the individuals having a certain allele in a population affect the small population more intensely, genetic drift works on small populations only.

All of the following are major functions of proteins except 1.control of biochemical reactions. 2.support for organs or tissues.

Galina-37 [17]

Answer:

<h2>5.storage of energy</h2>

Explanation:

Proteins are important biomolecules that are a type of macromolecule.
This macromolecule is made up of a monomer that is called amino acid.
There are many functions of the protein molecules in living organisms.
They play an important role as bodybuilding molecules, as enzymes, as transporter molecules, and many more.
Most of the enzymes are made up of the protein molecules and regulate the metabolic process of the living organisms.
Certain proteins are present in the plasma membrane of the cells and play an important role in the transport of the substances across the cells, recognition of certain foreign particles, and some other functions.
They also play an important role in the immune system.
The main storage molecules of energy are carbohydrates and fats so storage of energy is not considered as the major function of the proteins because they do not involve as carbohydrates and fats.
