Which of the following statements describes how muscles help maintain homeostasis?

Biology

Answer:

Skeletal muscle contractions help maintain body temperature. (Ans. E)

Explanation:

Skeletal muscle contributes to maintaining temperature homeostasis in the body by producing heat. Muscle contractions require energy & produce heat as a by-product of metabolism. All types of muscles produce heat, but a large amount of Skeletal muscle found in the body, so it contributes greatly to heat production.

This is noticeable during extreme cold environment shivering produces random skeletal muscle contractions to generate heat to maintain the body temperature.    

Skeletal muscle contractions pull (drag) on tendons, which are joined to the bones present in the body. If the contraction of muscles causes the muscle to shorten, the bone (present in the body) & other body part will start to move. Then the energy comes from a skeletal muscle produces heat & maintain the body temperature.

What is a biological tropism?
kondor19780726 [428]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

Living organisms adapt to their moves and positions in response to the environmental changes for their protection or to their advantage. When an entity reacts to the changes in its surroundings, it is referred to as stimulus while the reaction to the stimulus is referred to as a response. Common stimuli are sound, light, air, heat, smell, taste, water and gravity.

Think of burning your finger of fracturing your bone without any pain sensation. It may certainly sound like a superpower or an ideal situation, however, when it comes to the standpoint of survival, it can be disastrous.

It is a characteristic behaviour of living entities to respond to stimuli with the intervention of the Nervous System. It is an organ system ascribed to send signals from the spinal cord and the brain throughout the body and then back from all the body parts to the brain. Neuron acts as the mediator and is the basic signalling unit of the Nervous system.

Pain is the body’s way of letting us know that something is not right. It can prevent further injuries or push us to seek medical attention. Moreover, all of this is possible because humans can respond and react to stimuli due to control and coordination among the various organs and organ systems.

Control and Coordination in simple multicellular organisms take place through only the Nervous system which coordinates activities of our body. It is the control system for all our actions, thinking, and behaviour.

Describe the motion shown in the lines
Bogdan [553]

Answer:

Solution

For figure (a)

During interval AB Velocity is +ve, so the particle is moving in +ve direction, but it is slowing down as acceleration (slope of v-7 curve) is negative.

During interval BC Particle remains at rest as the velocity is zero. Acceleration is also zero.

During interval CD Velocity is -ve, so the particle is moving in -ve direction and is speeding up as acceleration is also negative.

For figure (b),

During interval AB Particle is moving in +ve direction with constant velocity and acceleration is zero.

During interval BC Particle is moving in +ve direction as velocity is +ve, but it slows down until it comes to rest as acceleration is negative.

During interval CD Velocity is -ve so the particle is moving in -ve direction and is speeding up as acceleration is also negatived

What is the role of a mutation in natural selection
Vinvika [58]

If the mutation is beneficial, the mutated organism survives to reproduce, and the mutation gets passed on to its offspring. In this way, natural selection guides the evolutionary process to incorporate only the good mutations into the species, and expunge the bad mutations.
