Answer:

Option). shivering.

Explanation:

Homeostasis can be defined as maintaining the steady state of chemical and physical conditions by living organisms. Shivering is one way to achieve homeostasis as it maintains internal body temperature.

The average internal human body temperature is 98.6 F. A drop in body temperature is detected by nervous system that triggers muscle contraction to start shivering. Shivering increases body temperature by producing heat and restores homeostasis.

Thus, the correct answer is option). 'shivering.'

The answer is D, sweating.

Homeostasis is where the body uses some mechanisms to maintain a optimum condition for the body to function. These conditions may include body temperature, blood glucose level etc.

Sweating is a mechanism that can help maintain the body temperature. During hot conditions, the sweat glands under the skin surface may produce sweat, which is then released to the skin surface. When the sweat is on the skin surface, they evaporate. During evaporation, heat energy is brought away from the skin as the sweat molecules that have a higher kinetic energy (=temperature) escaped from the sweat drop. The average temperature of the sweat is reduced. Eventually, the temperature of the body is decreased and this help maintain the suitable temperature for the body to function.

Therefore, your answer is D, sweating.

An outbreak of illness has occurred in a community and is suspected to be related to food ingestion. a community health nurse pl

olga nikolaevna [1]

As a community health nurse, it is important to know the primary treatment for food poisoning, especially if the entire community is affected. The nurse should prioritize fluid replacement in order to prevent severe dehydration. It is expected that people who ingested food that caused them to get ill will suffer from fluid loss or dehydration due to vomiting or diarrhea. Therefore, it is important to replace these fluids and electrolytes that have been lost so that the body can still get the nutrients it needs. Also, it might help if the community nurse could find the source of the problem so that the outbreak will no longer spread.

Which event marks the beginning of DNA replication?

Vinil7 [7]

<span>B is the correct answer. The beginning of DNA replication occurs with the unwinding of the DNA helix by a special enzyme. The two strands that form the helix then create a replication fork. The two strands are then oriented differently, one becoming the 'leading strand' and one the 'lagging strand'. </span>

Suppose that after the cell below undergoes meiosis i and meiosis ii, the result is one gamete with two chromosomes, two gametes

lianna [129]

<span>The correct answer for the question is Non-disjunction. Non-disjunction occurs in cell division when chromosomes do not divide properly. It can occur during mitosis, meiosis I and meiosis II. In mitosis it occurs when sister chromatids fails to separate in Anaphase. The result is that one cell receives both chromatids, while the other receives neither. Each daughter cell then has an abnormal number of chromosomes when mitosis is complete; one cell has an extra chromosome, while the other is missing one. In anaphase of meiosis I, it happens when a pair of homologous chromosomes does not separate. In meiosis II, it happens when a pair of sister chromatids fails to separate properly during anaphase of meiosis II, one daughter cell will have an extra chromosome and one daughter cell will be missing a chromosome.</span>
