How maintaining homeostasis gives us greater freedom of activity from dependence upon changes in the external environment?

kotykmax [81]3 years ago

Homeostasis is the ability of an organism to stabilise its internal body metabolism in response to changes in the external environment. The ability to carry out homeostasis provides an organism a lot of freedom from the dependence on the external environment. For example, reptiles are cold blooded animals. They require the heat of the sun for body metabolism. But in the absence of heat or in case of harsh winters, the reptiles will not be able to adjust to the temperature and as a result perish. Mammals are warm-blooded animals, being able to regulate their internal body temperature as and when necessary. Winters will affect the warm-blooded animals less because their body will increase in metabolism in response to cold temperatures to raise the internal body temperature. This is possible only through homeostasis.

Answer:

Changes in the composition of the atmosphere

Explanation:

Although this answer is very vague and generalized, it is the correct answer.

The increase in greenhouse gas emissions in the atmosphere from modern manufacturing and engineering has increase carbon dioxide and methane concentrations in the upper atmosphere. These gasses have a chemical composition that allows the absorption and release of longwave radiation back to the Earth's surface slowly increasing the global average temperature.

This is done to determine the cause of disease and disorder.

The given assessment is the part of the clinical examination because external features such as skin, eyes and tongue can be examined in a clinical study to identify the disease or disorder and it's cause.

evablogger [386]

Answer:

3) 0.75m/s

Explanation:

The wavelength of a wave is calculated using the formula;

λ = v/f

Where!

λ = wavelength of wave (m)

v = velocity or speed (m/s)

f = frequency of wave (Hz)

According to this question, one end of a rope is vibrated to produce a wave with a wavelength (λ) of 0.25 m and frequency (f) of 3.0 Hz.

Using λ = v/f

v = λ × f

v = 0.25 × 3

v = 0.75m/s.
