The ability of organisms to regulate and thus maintain a relatively stable internal environment, despite external pressures, is called HOMEOSTASIS. This word comes from two Latin/Greek root words: "homeo" and "stasis".
"Homeo" means constant or unchanging. And "stasis" or "static" refers to stillness, non-movement. So, together, we can translate Homeostasis into a constant stillness inside, which makes sense for "maintaining normal internal states."

Answer:

Homeostasis

Explanation:

refers to the necessity of an organism to maintain constant or stable internal conditions.

In order to maintain homeostasis, organisms must have structures and processes that allow them to respond to stimuli. For example, the cell membrane is a structure that allows cells to maintain the proper concentration of materials inside and outside of a cell, so the organism that contains the cell can function properly.

Which of the following accurately describes the role of energy in cellular respiration?
zmey [24]

Answer:

The correct answer is option energy is a product.

Explanation:

Cellular respiration is a process in which oxidation of food or glucose takes place to produce energy. This process proceeds in four processes: glycolysis, oxidative carboxylation, Krebs cycle and electron transport chain.

All of this process produces energy in the form of ATP or energy equivalents like NADH and FADH₂.  

1. Glycolysis produces- 2 ATP, 2 NADH,  

2. Oxidative carboxylation produces- 2 NADH,  

3. Krebs cycle produces- 2 ATP, 6 NADH AND 2 FADH₂ and  

4. Electron transport chain produces at last- 24 ATP from these reducing equivalents.

Thus, option energy is a product is a correct option.

Witch step of cellular respiration will not take place in the absence of oxygen
Over [174]

The answer is; glycolysis

This process converts glucose molecule to pyruvate. It is an oxygen-independent pathway, unlike the Krebs cycle. Glycolysis occurs in the cell cytoplasm while the Krebs cycle (aerobic pathway) occurs in the mitochondria. In the presence of oxygen, the product of glycolysis, i.e pyruvate, is fed to the Krebs cycle.  If oxygen is unavailable the pyruvate is converted to lactate.
