<span>The body is constantly changing, no matter what age. It has to maintain homeostasis, or balance at all times or illness/death occurs. If your body is weakened, it then becomes harder to maintain this state. If one component goes out of balance; ie, water content, it affects the whole body. Swelling(edema) CHF(serious heart problem) kidneys may be overtaxed/unable to release the extra fluid. As the body ages organs naturally become less efficient, therefore making homeostasis more challenging.</span>
B) All living things are made of cells.
Answer:
1. Fluorine (7 electrons) => c. steals 1 electron
2. Calcium (2 electrons) => a. gives away 2 electrons
3. Oxygen (6 electrons) => d. steals 2 electrons
4. Lithium (1 electron) => e. gives away 1 electron
5. Xenon (8 electrons) => b. neither gives away nor steals any electron
Explanation:
Given the following valence electrons of the atoms listed above, each atom can be matched to its corresponding number of electrons it can steal or give away as they form bonds and attain a stable state:
1. Fluorine (7 electrons) => this will steal 1 electron from another atom to attain a stable state when it comes to make the number of electrons 8.
2. Calcium with 2 valence electrons, will give away this 2 electrons in its outer shell to be stable and form bond with another atom that will accept these 2 electrons.
3. Oxygen with 2 valence electrons, will steal 2 electrons to make the electrons in its outer shell 8, as it bonds with another atom to become stable.
4. Lithium will give away 1 electron to become stable when it combines.
5. Xenon with 8 electrons in its outer shell is in a stable state and kind of inert. It doesn't need to receive or steal any electron from or to any other atom in this state.
Answer:
This is considered as the study of homology.
Explanation:
Homology, studies the comparable characteristics of the physiology, structure or development of various species based on their decent from a similar evolutionary ancestor.
