Osmotic balance is important to homeostasis because _________ can easily enter/leave the body

Biology
1 answer:
Kazeer [188]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

The correct answer is: water.

Explanation:

Homeostasis is the state in which the body maintains itself in order to operate at its fullest, and for this to happen there are some factors that the body needs to regulate at all times: body temperature, pH, ion concentration, among others.

Osmotic balance ensures the concentration of electrolytes and non-electrolytes in the different compartments of the body: intracellular, extracellular, inside the plasma.

Since osmotic balance is achieved by regulating the filtration and absorption of water, it is very important for the systems in charge of homeostasis to control this aspect. For example, when there's water loss because of heavy exercise, the anterior pituitary gland releases ADH, a hormone that will act on the kidney to produce the reabsorption of water and avoid dehydration.

How are currents in the Pacific Ocean affected by El Niño?
mylen [45]

The answer is; Warm water moves to the east instead of to the west


Normally, when the waters in the Pacific warm up, the prevailing winds that blow from east to west drag the warm surface currents westwards and upwelling of cold currents occur at the west coast of South America. However, in El Nino, the Pacific ocean waters heat more than usual. The prevailing winds weaken and begin to blow predominantly towards the east. The warm currents are therefore dragged to the east and cause torrential rains in Western coast South Americas.
