Answer: option D - After eating a large batch of salty popcorn, levels of salt in the urine increase

Explanation:

Homeostasis is the ability of a living organism to ADJUST its internal environment to maintain a stable equilibrium

FOR EXAMPLE: warm-blooded animals like humans allow blood vessels dilate during hot weather, and constrict during cold weather IN ORDER to maintain a constant body temperature.

Thus, after eating a large batch of salty popcorn, levels of salt in the urine increase due to the homeostatic mechanism of the ANTI-DIURETIC HORMONE stimulating reabsorbtion of water from urine, and excretion of excess salt.

A weather station predicts that warm, humid air will pass over much cooler land
allsm [11]

Answer:

This happens when the air has a lot of moisture and when the temperature is low (because in this way the water in the air condenses). So if a weather station predicts that warm humid air will pass over much cooler land, the precaution must be to use healights and drive slowly because it will probably be dense fog.

Please help meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Dmitry [639]

Answer:

1.) The two gametes found in humans are the sperm and the ova.

2.) Variation, in biology, any difference between cells, individual organisms, or groups of organisms of any species caused either by genetic differences (genotypic variation) or by the effect of environmental factors on the expression of the genetic potentials (phenotypic variation).

3.) Because the alleles that the mother and the father carry are mixed together in the offspring.

4.) Because it only introduces genetic variation into the population if a random mutation in the organism's DNA is passed on to the offspring.

Please this is all I can answer
