Answer:

The cast caused an atrophy in Kendra's leg muscle.

Explanation:

One of the most common causes of muscle atrophy is lack of muscle use. Since Kendra's leg was immobilized by the cast, the muscles in this leg were left unused, which led to muscle atrophy. In other words, when a limb gets in a cast the muscles atrophy due to disuse. Loss of muscle mass can easily be observed after removing the cast and comparing it with the healthy opposite limb, as happened with Kendra.

When your leg is in a cast for a long time, that causes the muscle to atrophy. Because Kendra was unable to use her leg, she lost muscle mass and muscle strength because she wasn't working that leg muscle.

how does water help an organism maintain homeostasis ? can some help me answer that question please. the subject is science . ok
777dan777 [17]
Living things need water in their cells. Water is the universal solvent - most of the chemicals a cell needs is dissolved and transported in water. Water is an environment where chemical reactions can occur and water is needed in many of those reactions - like the hydrolysis reaction (needed in the break down of food molecules). If a cell becomes dehydrated chemical reactions slow down. Chemical balance of the cell is changed as waste materials are not removed fast enough, food is not broken down, etc. Water also helps regulate the heat that can build up in a cell during chemical reactions. A dehydrated cell = increase in cell temp. Water content of a cell also affects the pH of a cell environment. Certain reactions occur better at certain pH. Homeostasis is maintaining a balance with the  the environment. Without water the balance is upset.
