Why must animals maintain a stable environment within their bodies?

Biology

stellarik [79]3 years ago

Homeostasis, my friend.

Homeostasis is the process of maintaining a constant internal environment (temperature, water content, available energy, available oxygen & concentration of wastes in the blood.) Some animals are able to do this and are called endothermic or 'warm-blooded' (like humans). However, not all animals are able to do all of this - and they are referred to as ectothermic or 'cold-blooded.' 

Animals need to be able to maintain a stable internal environment because if they do not, they will most likely die. Animals need warmth to survive, so they need to be able to have a constant body temperature whether it be by using their body to create warmth or having to sit in the sun to keep warm,

Hope this helps.

What is the function of the cell membrane
swat32
It's pretty straight foward it controls what gets in and out

Cell Membrane - The membrane of the cell forms an outer shell that protects it. It's function is to be semi-permeable, which means that it separates the cell from outside elements and only allows certain molecules in.

Centrosomes<span> - Centrosomes organize microtubules, which are like hollow rods that give the cell its support and shape.</span>

Centrioles -<span> Centrioles are cylinders made of proteins that are found in a cell's centrosome.</span>

<span>Cytoplasm </span>- This is the jelly-like substance that makes up the inside of the cell. It's not an organelle, but a material that can be found within the membrane.

<span>Endoplasmic Reticulum </span>- The endoplasmic reticulum, or ER for short, forms the transport system for the important proteins in the cell, like RNA. ER can be split into two groups: smooth ER and rough ER.

Golgi Complex<span> - The Golgi complex, which is also known as the Golgi apparatus and named after the person who found it, is like the post office or packing center of the cell. It prepares proteins that need to be shipped off to specific destinations.</span>

<span>Lysosomes </span>- Lysosomes are enzyme-filled sacs that digest nutrients and cell wastes.

<span>Mitochondria </span>- This organelle has an important job. It keeps the rest of the cell going by supplying energy in the form of adenosine triphosphate (or ATP).

<span>Nucleus </span>- The nucleus is a soft sac of the cell that has the responsibility of carrying its genetic code (also known as DNA).

<span>Nucleolus </span>- Within the nucleus is another nucleus, or nucleolus, where RNA is formed. RNA carries the messages or instructions that DNA provide.

Ribosomes<span> - After RNA leaves the nucleolus and nucleus, it goes through the endoplasmic reticulum to the ribosomes, where protein synthesis takes place.</span>

A person that is heterozygous type AB (AB) marries a person that is heterozygous type A (AO). What is the probability that their
BigorU [14]

Answer:

The correct option is <em>B. 25 %</em>

Explanation:

 A heterozygous type can be described as the type in which both the alleles of a gene are different. If both the alleles of a gene are similar in an organism, then the person is said to be homozygous for the trait.

In the above question, two heterozygous parents are to be cross- bred to check the probability of them producing homozygous alleles (AA).

A punnet square made will show the following results:

       A     O

A     AA    AO

B    BA     BO

Hence, there will be 25% chance that the offspring produced could be homozygous AA.
