Several bodily responses are described below. For each response, determine what caused the change in
EastWind [94]

Answer:

  1. Body starts to sweat: The core body temperature exceeded the set range of 35 degrees to 41.5 degree celsius
  2. Breathing rate increases: Cells are not receiving adequate oxygen to produce adequate energy.
  3. Amount of saliva produced changes: Saliva is produced in response to pH changes in the mouth or the intake of food.
  4. Body starts to shiver: Core temperature dropped below the set range of 35 to 41.5 degree celsius.

Explanation:

Homeostasis:

Homeostasis is the physiological process of regulating the internal environment of the body against fluctuations in the external environment.

Homeostasis systems in the body follow the following basic scheme (from 1 to 4):

  1. Stimulus
  2. Sensor
  3. Control
  4. Effector

Various control centers in the body sense varying body conditions and in turn activate certain effector mechanisms to regulate the changing conditions.

Thermoregulation:

  • Thermoregulation is the control and regulation of the optimum core temperature of the body between the range 35 to 41.5 degree celsius.
  • The control center is the hypothalamus, a part of the brain that receives signals from receptors in the body and initiates the appropriate response.
  • If the core temperature exceeds the optimum range, two mechanisms are initiated:
  1. The blood vessels towards the skin and extremities dilate, increasing the blood flow, allowing heat loss to the environment.
  2. Sweat glands are activated, evaporation of sweat produces a cooling effect.
  • If the core temperature decreases, again, two mechanisms are activated:
  1. Blood vessels to the extremities constrict to prevent heat loss; those towards the core dilate to provide maximum heat to the internal organs.
  2. Shivering mechanisms (involuntary muscle contractions) are activated that generate heat.

Respiratory Homeostasis:

During exercise or strenuous physical activity, our cells need to produce a large amount of energy through cellular respiration. Since, cellular respiration requires oxygen, more and more oxygen needs to be supplied to the cells. A low oxygen signal detected by the hypothalamus (control center in the brain) increases the breathing rate to ensure that sufficient oxygen reaches the cells.

Oral homeostasis:

The salivary glands maintain the homeostasis of the oral cavity. Saliva is not produced in response to food but to maintain the pH of the oral cavity to protect the teeth and enamel. Saliva contains the enzyme amylase which digests carbohydrates in the mouth. Therefore, the production of saliva increases in response to smell, sight and taste of food.

Which process, involved with sexual reproduction of angiosperms, creates a variety of different bloom colors, plant heights, see
ollegr [7]
<span>The importance of sexual reproduction in angiosperms is same as sexual reproduction of others organims that is to provide genetic variation. However, sexual reproduction of angiosperms also produce seed. Production of seed with fruit is what specific to angiosperm this phylum. so you can find some points regard the advantanges of producing seeds in angiosperms. This can used as addition point.


I hope my answer has come to your help. Thank you for posting your question here in Brainly. We hope to answer more of your questions and inquiries soon. Have a nice day ahead!

I NEED HELP The measure of how resistant a solid is to shape change when a force is applied.
enyata [817]

<em>Hardness is a measure of how resistant solid matter is to various kinds of permanent shape change when a force is applied</em> <em>Macroscopic hardness is generally characterized by</em> <em>strong intermolecular bonds</em>, <em>but the behavior of solid materials under force is complex; therefore,</em> <em>there are different measurements of hardness</em>: <em>scratch hardness, indentation hardness, and rebound hardness. Hardness is dependent on ductility, elastic stiffness, plasticity, strain, strength, toughness, viscoelasticity, and viscosity. Common examples of hard matter are ceramics, concrete, certain metals, and super hard materials, which can be contrasted with soft matter.</em>

Alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) is an enzyme that aids in the decomposition of ethyl alcohol (CH3OH) into nontoxic substances. Methy
Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

d. Competitive inhibition will decrease because the proportion of the active sites occupied by substrate will increase.

Explanation:

Enzymes are bio catalysts in living cells responsible for aiding biochemical reactions.

Their active sites are primary protein  3D structure  for binding with substrates during   reactions.

Enzymes reactions are usually affected by inhibitors(e.g methyl alcohol) which compete with the active site with the actual substrate(ethyl alcohol) ,

This is an example of competitive inhibition. The more ethyl alcohol available, the more active sites  occupied, therefore denying the inhibitor methylalchol  chances to the active site, thus preventing the formation of toxic formaldehyde, and more of non toxic substances from formation of more ADH-METHYL ALCOHOL COMPLEXES at the active sites
