How does the integumentary system help maintain homeostasis

Biology
1 answer:
oee [108]2 years ago
8 0

Answer: The integumentary system is essential in maintaining homeostasis, a state of stability across factors like temperature and hydration, in the body. The integumentary system stores water and prevents dehydration as well as producing sweat to regulate temperature and rid the body of waste products

Explanation: Barrier protection and water transport can be demonstrated with a piece of fine cloth. Pour water with coarse sand in over the cloth. The sand (bad organisms) are kept out, but the water (sweat) can go through.

Insulation: Put a thermometer into a small block of styrofoam. Put the block on a piece of ice, and then in a cup of hot water and observe the temperature. That is how the skin helps to regulate body temperature.

Cooling: When we exercise a lot (running is good) we generate more internal body heat. Notice how exercise (work) or even just hotter temperatures in the cause us to sweat.

Measure the air temperature with a thermometer and a fan blowing over it. Then measure it again with the thermometer covered with a THIN wet paper towel. That is how our sweat cools our body by evaporation.

For a species with a haploid number of 15 chromosomes, how many different combinations of maternal and paternal chromosomes are
babymother [125]
The answer is:  " 32,768 " .
___________________________________________
Explanation:
__________________________________________________________
 →  2ⁿ  = ? ;  {that is: "2" , raised to the "n th" power, equals {<u>what value</u>} ?
___________________________________________
 → Note that "n" is the haploid number, which is: 
                           "15" (value given within this very question).
__________________________________________________
→ So we plug in "15" for "n" ; to obtain the "final value" —
                                                          which is the answer.
__________________________________________________
           →  As such:  " 2¹⁵ = 32,768 " .  (using scientific calculator online).
___________________________________________________
           →  The answer is:  " 32,768 " .

Pleeeasseee i need help
Harman [31]

Answer:

"DRY MIX"

Dependent responding (variable) X axis

Manipulated independent (variable) Y axis

The drinks is the dependent variable because it "responds" to the temperature and is "dependent" on the temperature. The temperature determines the drinks sold-but the drinks sold doesn't determine the temperature.

9. in your own words compare and contrast cell division in prokaryotes and eukaryotes
Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

Cell division is simpler in prokaryotes than eukaryotes because prokaryotic cells themselves are simpler. Prokaryotic cells have a single circular chromosome, no nucleus, and few other cell structures. Eukaryotic cells, in contrast, have multiple chromosomes contained within a nucleus, and many other organelles.
