Sweating and panting are examples of which characteristic of life?

Biology
1 answer:
Viktor [21]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Responding to the environment

Explanation:

Sweating and panting are mechanisms of homeostasis i.e the regulation of the body's internal environment in response to changes or fluctuations in the external environment.

Sweating is a physiological response to the body's core temperature rising above the limit of 36.5-37.5°C. Once the hypothalamus in the brain detects this rise in temperature, cooling mechanisms are initiated. One of these is sweating. Release and subsequent evaporation of sweat through the sweat glands produces a cooling effect.

Panting is a physiological response more observed in dogs. Dogs lack sweat glands and therefore cannot lower their core temperature through sweating. Panting utilizes saliva instead of sweat to lower body's temperature to the set limit.

Porque un grupo de celulas pequeñas ayudarian a un organismo a mantener la homeostasis mejor que una celula grande?
NeX [460]

Answer:  

Una parte fundamental de la homeostasis es la transferencia y la ingesta de moléculas (sea necesario o no). Es importante que la célula pueda llevar los nutrientes necesarios inmediatamente donde los necesita y poder deshacerse de los subproductos dañinos del proceso celular. Es igualmente importante poder regular la concentración de agua. Las células más pequeñas tienen una superficie más grande en relación con su volumen (su superficie se escala con R ^ 2 mientras que su volumen con R ^ 3 donde R es el radio de una célula) y, por lo tanto, los intercambios a lo largo de la membrana celular se ven favorecidos en comparación con las células más grandes que necesitan muchos intercambios pero tienen proporcionalmente menos área de membranas. Si bien A no es necesariamente cierto, C es definitivamente cierto y, por lo tanto, la respuesta correcta.
