Explain why homeostasis is so important to the body.

1 answer:

6 0

Homeostasis is the regulation of internal body conditions such as temperature, sugar levels in blood, salt content etc. Without it many functions would become non-functional. If you take temperature for example without the control of our internal body temperature many metabolic reactions (enzyme-controlled reactions) would stop/ slow down. If the temp gets too high the enzymes denature and you wouldn't get an enzyme-substrate complexes forming. If the temp is too low the enzymes have a low kinetic energy and so don't collide with the substrate as much as at normal body temp. pH has similar affect but a change in pH will always denature enzymes.

Dennis_Churaev [7]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although there are no options attached we can say the following.

I choose the following five forms of communication

1.- Verbal. It is the natural way to communicate, using our voice. My voice has to be clear and the message specific to be successful in what I try to convey.

2.- Written. I need to improve my written skill, learning grammatical rules, and improving my spelling. Minimize typos. I have to write developing my own style.

3.- Non-verbal. Signs and gestures are a great support for verbal communication. Everybody needs non-verbal communication to reinforce verbal communication.

4.- Formal. Formal communication is needed in my life when I am living official moments or scenarios in school or in the workplace. When I address teachers or seniors I have to use formal language.

5..- Informal. Informal communication is used when I am hanging with my friends, having a typical day-to-day conversation.
