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.

6. Would there be a net flow of water in one direction in the following situations? Explain your answers.
amid [387]

Answer: There won't be a net flow of water in one direction in the situation.

Explanation: The concentration of NaCl inside the cell and its concentration outside the cell is the same. This means that there is equilibrium (a balance) between the inside environment of the cell and the outside environment of the cell. And because there is equilibrium between the two sides there will not be a net flow of water in one direction. The flow of water must be in opposite directions (inside and outside) so as to maintain a balance between the two environments.
