Answer:

Homeostasis refer to as the maintainence of equillibrium within the body. Endocrine systems play a major role in maintainence of equillibrium. The hormones released are continuously inactivated by negative feeback system to maintain homeostsis.

Explanation:

Homeostasis in a body is refered as a dynamic equillibrium which constantly changes. Feedback regulation systems maintain homeosatsis.

The release of hormones into the blood is controlled by a stimulus. A stimulus can increase or decrease the release of hormones.The response to a stimulus changes the internal conditions and may itself become a new stimulus. This self-adjusting mechanism is called feedback regulation.

There are two types of feedback systems.

Negative feedback occurs when the response to a stimulus reduces the original stimulus. Positive feedback occurs when the response to a stimulus increases the original stimulus.

If the hormones released are not controlled by these feedback systems, enormous amount of hormones will change the whole internal enviornment of the body ,hence, equillibrium will be disturbed and result in death of cells and death of an indivisual.

Zinaida [17]

The voyage of the HMS Beagle is led by the scientitst Charles Darwin in search for species around the globe and a curious observation that led him to theorize about evolution. It leaves form Plymouth Harbor, toured around the Madeira and Canary islands and made a landfall at the Cape of Verde islands. The expedition was originally planned to end in two years. It got delayed and turned into five years due to Darwin spending most of his time exploring on land. the answer is D.

How can you choose which type of objective lens is best for your specimen ?

Lelechka [254]

Explanation:

Objective lenses are responsible for the primary image formation in microscopes, they are the closest part to the object, it defines the image's quality and they determine the magnification and resolution. In an optical microscope you can usually find 3 or 4 objectives (4x, 10x, 40x and 100x) but other configurations and magnifications are possible, in the image I added you can see that.

To determine which objective you will use you need to consider your specimen's size and what are the smallest features in it, NA (numerical aperture) must be considered as well, this is the ability to gather light and it determines depth of focus (how much you can focus without change in the image's sharpness), brightness and resolution (smallest distance between two objects). You'll also need to identify your observation method (phase contrast, darkfield, fluorescence, etc) and in what medium is your sample.

I hope you find this information useful and interesting! Good luck!
