Answer:
First, it's important to get clear on the meaning of Homeostasis.
In simple terms, it refers to the capacity of a living thing (plant or animal) to react or behave in such a way that enables it to continue to survive irrespective of changes in its immediate environment.
Explanation:
In humans, the body has a system which reacts to the external stimuli of temprature. When the weather is hot, the brain through a sequence of electrical and chemical signals tells the skin to open up the pore, then we experience venting of sweating which cools the body and regulates internal heat. This is an instance of homeostasis.
This does not mean that the plant or animal is completely immune to such external changes.
In the case of the tomato plant, the hair on the leaves and stem of the plant is an example of Homeostatic responses which have evolved over the years to discourage predators such as the hornworm caterpillar from defoliating the plant.
Cheers!
Answer:
Pollination, the transfer of pollen from flower-to-flower in angiosperms or cone -to-cone in gymnosperms, takes place through self-pollination or cross-pollination. ... The placement of male and female flowers on separate plants or different parts of the plant are also barriers to self-pollination.

Answer:
Explanation:
Using Ohm's law
V ( voltage) = I (current A) × Resistance R in ohms
R = 7.0 × 10⁹Ω
V = 80 mV = 80 / 1000 = 0.08 V
0.08 V = I × 7.0 × 10⁹Ω
a) I = 0.08 V / 7.0 × 10⁹Ω = 1.142857 × 10 ⁻¹¹ A
b) quantity of charge = I × t = 1.142857 × 10 ⁻¹¹ A × 0.85 s = 9.7142857 × 10⁻¹² C
number of Na⁺ ions ( q = +e) = 9.7142857 × 10⁻¹² C / 1.6 × 10⁻¹⁹ C = 60714285.714 Na⁺ ions
