What does the term homeostasis mean??

Biology
1 answer:
Snezhnost [94]3 years ago
8 0
'Homeo' meaning 'similar' and 'stasis' meaning 'stable.' Therefore, homeostasis means it is the process used by the body to maintain a stable internal environment. Either a negative or positive feedback can be used in homeostasis.

What happens at the end of the transcription process?
Goshia [24]

Answer:

C) DNA produces messenger RNA, also called mRNA.

Explanation:

During transcription DNA is used as a template to make RNA. RNA then leaves the nucleus and goes to a ribosome in the cytoplasm, where translation occurs. Translation reads the genetic code in mRNA and makes a protein.

If the stomata remain closed due to water loss, what happens to the concentration of CO2 and O2 in the leaf
Temka [501]

Answer:

Fixation of oxygen occur instead of carbondioxide.

Explanation:

If the stomata remain closed due to water loss, the concentration of carbondioxide decreases and oxygen increases in the leaf because of the fixation of oxygen instead of carbondioxide by rubisco. The plant takes carbondioxide from the atmosphere when the stomata is open so when the stomata is closed there is no other way for getting carbondioxide into the leave so the oxygen is now being fixed by our rubisco enzyme to that five-carbon compound instead of carbon dioxide.

What is the differences between cellular respiration and respiration
3241004551 [841]

Think of respiration as ‘cellular respiration,’ which is the process by which the body extracts energy from glucose molecules. Breathing is the mechanism of the lungs that brings oxygen into the body and expels carbon dioxide

Respiration is a vital way for the cells of plants and animals to obtain and utilize energy. Without this energy, cells in the bodies of plants and animals would fail to function and will eventually break down and die. The breaking down of sugar into energy and storing it in ATP is the key to the survival of living organisms.

The formation of ATP involves two different processes, cellular respiration and fermentation. The reactions to these processes are controlled by enzymes and involve the loss and gain of electrons.

Cellular respiration takes place in the cells of organisms using metabolic reactions and processes to convert biochemical energy from the nutrients they absorbed into ATP or adenosine triphosphate and to release waste products.

The energy derived from nutrients like sugar, amino and fatty acids, an electron acceptor which can be oxygen (used by aerobic organisms) or other inorganic donors like sulfur, metal ions, methane, or hydrogen (used by anaerobic organisms) are stored in ATP and used for biosynthesis, locomotion and to transport molecules in cell membranes.

Cellular respiration can be aerobic or anaerobic. Aerobic respiration requires oxygen to generate ATP and plants and animals use this in utilizing the energy they received.
