Fish do not maintain whole-body temperatures different from the temperature of the water in which they live. However, many fish,

if given a choice of water temperatures, will select a narrow range of water temperatures in which to live. Thus, they exhibit a "preferred temperature" that they can maintain by controlling the amount of time they spend in water of different temperatures. Does this represent true homeostasis in the fullest sense of the term? Justify your answer.
a. Yes. This qualifies as homeostasis because a constant body temperature is maintained.b. Yes. This qualifies as homeostasis because body temperature is actively regulated such that internal physiological variables are kept within the range that cells need to function.c. No. This does not qualify as homeostasis because, even though the fish are maintaining relatively constant internal conditions, they are not using a feedback system in order to maintain these conditions.d. No. This does not qualify as homeostasis because homeostasis involves the control of a physiological variable within very narrow limits so that cells can function. The body temperature of a fish fluctuates with the temperature of the external environment.

Answer:No. This does not qualify as homeostasis because homeostasis involves the control of a physiological variable within very narrow limits so that cells can function. The body temperature of a fish fluctuates with the temperature of the external environment.

Explanation:

Fishes are poikilothemic;therefore thier body temperature fluctuates with the external environment. If the fish stays in a preferred environment momentarily, this will influence its body physiological mechanism at that moment.

Once it leaves the spot its body physiological mechanisms returns to that of the new environmental temperature,therefore fluctuating with changes of the environment.

Since homeostasis refers to a relatively constant internal environmen of an organism, prefered temperature phenomenon cannot be homestatis.!!

True or false: it is necessary to have a nervous system to sense and respond to the environment.
Mila [183]
Hello!

This would be false as it is just nerves inside of the body impulsing between each other and that would not be necessary to adapt to a new environment. 

I hope this helped!

What are the three classes of bryophytes?
Margaret [11]

Answer:

Class I: Hepaticopsida ( Liverworts)

Class II: Anthocerotopsida ( Hornworts)

Class III: Bryopsida ( Mosses)

Explanation:

Bryophytes are small plants that grows in moist and shady places.They don't attain great heights because of absence of roots, vascular tissues, mechanical tissues and cuticle. They are terrestrial but require external water to complete their life cycle. Hence they are called as the" amphibians" of the animal kingdom.

Class I: Hepaticopsida or Hepaticae

  • Gametophytic plant body is either thalloid or foliose. If foliose the lateral appendages are  without midrib.
  • Rhizoids without septa
  • Each cell in the thallus contain many chloroplasts
  • Sex organs are embedded in the dorsal surface
  • Capsule lacks columella
  • Sporophyte may be simple having only one capsule or differentiated into root, seta and capsule
  • It has 4 orders: Calobryales, Jungermanniales, Spherocarpales and Marchantiales

Class 2: Anthocerotae or Anthocerotopsids:

  • Gametophytic plant body is simple, thalloid;thallus dorsiventra without air chambers shows no internal differentiation of tissues
  • Scales are absent in the thallus
  • Each cell of the thallus possess a single large chloroplast with a pyrenoid
  • Sporophyte is cylindrical only partly dependent on gametophyte for its nourishment. It is differentiated into bulbous foot and cyclindrical capsule. Seta is meristematic.
  • Endotheciumforms the sterile central column in the capsule. It have ony one order Anthocerotales

Class 3: Musci or Bryopsida

  • Gametophyte is differentiated into prostrate protonema and an erect gametophores
  • Gametophore ids foliose, differentiated into axis and lateral appendages like leaves but without midrib.
  • Rhizoids are multicellular with oblique septa
  • Elaters are absent in the capsule of sporangium
  • The sex organs are produced in seperate branches immersed in a group of leaves.
  • It has only three orders: Bryales, Andriales and Sphagnales

Bryophytes are used as a packaging material for fragile goods, glasswares etc.Mosses are good source of animal food in rocky and snow clad areas. Decoction prepared by boiling Sphagnum in water  is used for the treatment of eye disease.
