Answer:

The correct answer is B. Ingesting too much alcohol leads to vomiting.

Explanation:

Homeostasis is the ability of the body to resist the chemical or physical change in the body and remain in constant and steady-state for example in hot days when temperature goes above 40° Celcius our body temperature remains at 37° c with the help of sweating.

Another example is vomiting after ingesting too much alcohol because alcohol is toxic and ingesting too much alcohol produces extra acids in the stomach which irritates stomach lining that results in upset stomach and vomiting.  

So by vomiting the alcohol our body reduces the toxic effect of alcohol in the body and resist the change in the body.

Which of the following is TRUE about this reaction?
hoa [83]

The right answer is C

This process is called anaerobic respiration. It doesn't need dioxygen to occur (it can happen with or without O2).

Anaerobic respiration is a mechanism in which electrons pass through a chain of transporters whose final acceptor is a mineral substance other than oxygen, unlike aerobic respiration where the final acceptor is dioxygen. The final acceptor may be the nitrate ion (as in the case of Pseudomonas), carbon dioxyde or the sulfate ion.

Some bacteria (Pseudomonas) are able, anaerobically, to reduce nitrates to nitrites and then, depending on the case, to dinitrogen (with the enzyme Nitrate reductase A).

NO3- ==> NO2- ==> N2.
