Answer:
Both C and E are reasonable answers.
Explanation:
Homeostasis describes the body's ability to maintain a stable equilibirum. In other words, if the body experiences a stress, it will generate a response that works to counteract that stress and restore itself to how it was prior to the stress.
A. This describes a cause and effect (BP down --> venous return down). It does not describe an active physiological response to counteract the BP drop such as an increase in heart rate. Not homeostasis.
B. Again, a cause and effect is described. Blood vessel walls becoming thinner is not a response to counteract increased BP. Not homeostasis.
C. Here a response to a stress is described. Men are drinking more water. The body responds by getting rid of that water, restoring the body to its former state. This describes homeostasis.
D. This sounds like homeostasis, but it's actually the opposite of what happens. Dilation of peripheral blood vessels is a way for the body to get rid of heat. This is the opposite of what you would want if the body got colder - it would make the stress worse, which is the opposite of homeostasis. In actuality the response to cold temperature is constriction of blood vessels to preserve heat.
E. This deescribes homeostasis. The stress is increased glucose. The body's response to manage it is to release insulin, which helps remove the glucose from circulation.
Answer:
Explanation:
It is the lactic acid which makes milk taste sour. Pasteurising milk kills off harmful bacteria and greatly reduces the number of lactobacillus ensuring that milk will last up to three weeks in a fridge. Lactobacillus is a very useful bacterium as the acidic conditions it creates makes a milk protein called casein turn to curd.

Some spicules are formed of the mineralized substances calcium carbonate and silica, while others are made of an organic substance called spongin. Sponginskeletons<span> were and are used as scrubbers in bathtubs, though they are fairly expensive. The ubiquitous bathtub accessory called a lufa is NOT a </span>sponge<span>, but a plant.</span>
Answer:
B
Explanation:
A zygote is the resulting cell from fertilization.
Fertilization occurs when the sperm (the male gamete/sex cell) fuses with the egg (the female gamete/sex cell). After they fuse, or fertilize, a cell forms that contains half of the DNA from the father (sperm) and the other half from the mother (egg). It has a complete set of DNA, and is considered a haploid cell.
It is not the structure that nourishes the fetus, an un-fertilized egg, or a ball of about 100 cells. Therefore, the correct answer is <u>B: a sperm fused with an egg.</u>
