Answer:

Homeostasis

Explanation:

Homeostasis is a mechanism of the body which involves negative feedback loops that helps the body to maintain a stable internal environment when there is an external or internal change.

An example of homeostasis in the human body is the regulation of the internal temperature of the body. When there is a change in the normal body temperature, for example, if your temperature drops sharply below 37 degrees Celsius, homeostasis kicks off in the body to maintain the normal body temperature. Homeostasis uses thermoregulation mechanism which triggers shivering to raise the body temperature in an attempt to return it back to normal.

Homeostasis also makes it possible for the body to maintain the balance of water and other substances in the body like calcium in our body. For example, when the calcium level drops below normal level, the parathyroid gland secretes hormone which helps in the increasing of blood calcium levels.  

Homeostasis s a essential mechanism that helps keeps the body in a balance and functional state.

Which sequence correctly depicts the development of offspring?
JulijaS [17]

Answer:

The correct answer would be zygote...blastocyst...embryo...fetus.

The fertilization of sperm and egg results in the formation of zygote. It receives genetic material from a male as well as a female parent.

It divides with the help of mitotic divisions and results in the formation of 2, 4, 8, and 16 celled stages.  

It results in the formation of the hollow spherical ball of cells termed as a blastocyst.  The cells are distributed to form the outer layer termed trophoblast and inner cell mass which gives rise to the embryo.

Trophoblast help in the implantation of the blastocyst into the uterine wall.

The cells of the embryo undergo organogenesis during different organs such as heart, brain, lungs et cetera are formed.

In humans, almost 9 weeks after the fertilization the developing embryo is considered a fetus.  

The fetus development continues until birth.

Describe how living things are involved in the constant cycling of carbon?
Dominik [7]
<span>Plants use carbon dioxide and sunlight to make their own food and grow the carbon becomes part of the plant. Plants that die and are buried may turn into fossil fuels made of carbon like coal and oil over millions of years. When humans burn fossil fuels  most of the carbon quickly enters the atmosphere as carbon dioxide :) i love biology</span>
