Biology

Explanation:

A feedback loop involves:

  1. a receptor
  2. control center
  3. an effector

The endocrine system involves chemical signalling via the secretion of molecules called hormones into extracellular fluid. They bind to chemical receptors in order to cause specific changes in target cells, these lead to changes in the body's internal environment called homeostasis. It includes the thyroid, parathyroid, pituitary, pineal and adrenal glands along with other regions. The bone, adipose tissue, heart, pancreas and liver are a few of the regions of the body which show endocrine function. The brain, or control center functions to receive and process the information from the receptor. Effectors receive the control center's command and illicits a response in the form of a feedback loop, that may oppose or enhance the stimulus.

Further Explanation:

During homeostasis the body maintains a constant internal balance in pH, temperature, blood pressure etc. Cells in a multicellular organism become specialized for particular tasks and communicate with one another in order to maintain homeostasis. Within the human body these are known as hormone cascades, where several complex steps occur- the tissues signal to one another with the use of hormones released by the endocrine system. For instance, the regulation (increase and decrease) of these secretions is achieved by negative feedback loops, where the release of certain substances during a cascade in turn halts the secretion of hormones at earlier stages.

vaieri [72.5K]
Well for one thing water wouldn't collect in drops. It also would affect pretty much everything that lives in or on water. For example there are kinds of bugs that use the surface of the water to stand on and lots of other organisms that use surface tension for their own benefits. Hope this helps!

Why do the number of organisms in a group change from the first step to the last step of a dichotomous key?.
Anastaziya [24]

Firstly the question is incomplete as an option is not there.

Why do the number of organisms in a group change from the first step to the last step of a dichotomous key?

a. The number of organisms decreases because the number of common characteristics of the organisms in a group increases.

b. The number of organisms increases because the number of common characteristics of the organisms in a group increases.

c. The number of organisms is cut in half because the number of common characteristics of the organisms in a group decreases by half in the last step.

d. The number of organisms stays the same because the number of common characteristics of the organisms in a group decreases by half in the last step.

The correct answer is B. The number of organisms increases because the number of common characteristics of the organisms in a group increases.

The most common key for the identification of organisms is a dichotomous key, the number of organisms in a group change from the first step to the last step of a dichotomous key as the no. of organisms increases and forms several groups of species and genus.

<h3>What is the use of the dichotomous key?</h3>

The use of dichotomous keys are :

  • contrasting characters
  • dividing organisms
  • eliminating .

Hence concluded that the dichotomous key has a number of organisms increases because the number of common characteristics of the organisms in a group increases.
