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.

Answer:

a vestigial structure

Explanation:

Vestigial structures are a rudimentary (or even functionless) version of a body part, but they have important functions in a closely correlated or evolutionarily close species, an example of which is the presence of eyes in fish of the genus Astyanax. The existence of these vestigial structures is strong evidence that evolution occurs in organisms, since this structure, today without much apparent function, may in the past have been extremely important to the ancestors of that species.

yaroslaw [1]

Answer:

This structure has not been highly beneficial for the organism

Explanation:

Vestigial structures are cells, tissues, and/or organs that have no apparent function. Vestigial structures are retained during the course of the evolution, but often they are degenerate and/or atrophied (due to disuse). In general, these structures are homologous to anatomical structures that play a specific role in evolutionarily related species. Some examples of vestigial structures include, among others, the presence of the appendix in humans and wings in flightless birds.
