Answer:

a) Dehydration

b) water (H2O)

Explanation:

Polymers are large complex substances that arise from the joining of smaller simpler units called Monomers. A monomer is joined together by a covalent bond, to form a polymer molecule. However, this process usually accompanies the loss of a water molecule due to the hydrogen (H+) and hydroxyll (OH-) ions that is contributed by each monomer unit. Hence, this process is called a DEHYDRATION REACTION.

For example, glucose moleculea as monomer units combine together in a dehydration reaction to form larger polymers such as starch, glucose etc.

Homeostasis: Response to Stimuli
likoan [24]

Answer:

3.)A person shivering when their body temperature is low.

7.)Ants moving within their mounds depending upon the time of day

1-A plant bending toward a light source.

.-Iguanas laying in the sunlight if their body temperature is low.

.-A unicellular organism beating microscopic hairs to escape a chemical pollutant in its environment

.-Birds migrating when seasons change.

The maintenance of relatively constant internal environment of an organism is called  Homeostasis.It is an automatic regulations of the body systems and organs controlled by the brain and some receptors, specific for certain body fluctuations.E.g Thermoreceptors Chemoreceptors etc.

The fluctuations in the body internal systems must be controlled within a narrow limits, for existence of living organism.The brain receives inputs from the receptors, and the outputs from the brain ensures the  homeostatic control.

The above examples are typical homeostatic responses by the organisms involved, because the inputs from the receptors  send signals to the brain ,and the organisms  responded to these with the example above.
