Answer: C. Positive feedback mechanisms are overwhelmed.
Explanation:
Homeostasis, is the maintenance of a normal internal environment, in the face of external and internal disturbances, so that the functions of cells and systems of the body are preserved. This is accomplished primarily through feedback systems, so when a system is disturbed, a diversity of local responses, systemic reflexes (rapid reactions and automatic stimuli) and long-term adjustments are activated to bring the system back to its normal equilibrium point.
Most systems are controlled by negative feedback mechanisms, with the controlled variable being able to "turn off" its release, in the same way as a thermostat controls the temperature of a room. So, in this context, too much positive feedback would be related to harmful effects, such as homeostatic imbalance.
Hey,
I believe this answer is A: The desert plants are likely to be better at retaining water.
Which they do, and they have to cause water is very scarce in the desert unlike the rain forest.
Desert plants likely to be larger is not proven and most plants can vary in size.
Narrower stems may have something to do with it but that goes back to they have to hold more water so this is incorrect.
Brighter flowers doesn't have anything to do with water consumption within a plant so this is incorrect as well.
Hope this helps!

The right answer is: vitamin C and choline
Choline (vitamin B4) is the precursor on the one hand acetylcholine (important neurotransmitter and neuromodulator) and on the other hand, the cascade initiated by betaine (intermediate in the biological methylation and precursor of membrane lipids). In this, it is considered, by extension, as an integral part of the family of B vitamins,
Vitamin C protects against cellular aging, is essential for the immune defenses and increases the assimilation of iron of plant origin. It also contributes to the formation of collagen. Its deficiency leads to a disease called scurvy (hence the ascorbic acid name of vitamin C).
<span>The formation of the fertilization envelope (slow-block to polyspermy) requires an increase in the availability of </span>calcium ions.
Slow-block to polyspermy is also called cortical reaction. In this reaction, the sperm will be permanently blocked by cortical granules. The release of calcium ion will trigger this reaction.
