Question

Jenna says that an example of homeostasis is when body temperature is maintained at about 37° C. Allen says homeostasis is when breathing rate increases along with exercise. Who is correct? A. Only Allen is correct. B. Both are correct. C. Only Jenna is correct. D. Neither is correct.

Answer 1

B. Both are correct

Both are correct is the accurate answer. Why? Because as Jenny said our body maintains our temperature at approximately 37C which is the conditional temperature where our cells could do significant and existential processes. Also is maintained by the hypothalamus. Moreover, when we exercise, the amount of oxygen decreases thus muscles around the thoracic region increase the breathing rate.
