Answer:

Homeostasis

Explanation:

Homeostasis refers to maintaining the constant internal body conditions and mostly use the feedback loops to counteract any deviations from the narrow physiological range of several variants such as body temperature, blood glucose levels, etc.

For example, the human body maintains the internal body temperature around 37 degrees Celsius irrespective of the temperature of the surroundings.

When the body temperature rises above the standard range, the secretion of sweat and its evaporation to create the cooling effect is one of the several mechanisms that serve to lower down the body temperature.

Likewise, when the body temperature falls below the normal physiological range, increased heat production and prevention of heat loss are triggered by hypothalamus via autonomic nerve system to increase the body temperature again.

Identify what types of of questions that can be answered by science
mamaluj [8]

Answer:

There are many questions that can be answered by science but I will provide some examples below.

Explanation:

Science involves many areas of study, <u>from biology and chemistry to physics and neuroscience</u>. Generating questions and providing answers are the most important steps in science as this process has allowed thousands of scientists to develop new drugs to treat previously-mortal diseases, to protect endangered species, to prevent population declines, to understand the behavior of fauna, among many other remarkable outcomes and discoveries.

In this answer, I will focus on some questions belonging to the life sciences areas that can be answered by science:

Biology

<em>How does climatic phenomena, such as El Niño and La Niña, affect the migration of whales?</em>

<em />

Neuroscience (humans)

<em>Is schizophrenia hereditable?</em>

<em />

Behavioral Ecology

<em>Does climate change affect the capability of cuttlefish to camouflage?</em>

Neuroscience (Animals)

<em>Are killer whales capable of  problem-solving?</em>

<em />

Ecology

<em>How does the reduction of apex predator populations (terciary consumers) affect the population of secondary consumers?</em>

<em />

Conservation Biology

<em>Why do increased temperatures lead to coral bleaching? What is the mechanism and how can it be controlled?</em>

<em />

Animal Behavior

<em>What is the mechanism that Ophiocordyceps unilateralis (Zombie fungus) uses to manipulate ants for its own disperal?</em>

<em />

Parasitology

<em>Does the parasite Toxoplasma gondii induce erratic behaviors in humans?</em>

as compared with the production of egg cells, sperm cell production A) involves a jellylike outer covering b) occurs at a slower
Bingel [31]

The correct answer is:  d) begins later in life

Eggs or female reproductive cells are formed well before birth in a huge number (primordial oocytes). But, the number of oocyte decreases after birth constantly (there are 2 million oocytes at birth and 40,000 of them in puberty). At menopause, no egg cells are left.

On the other hand, the first sperms are formed only from puberty, but the production of those cells never stops.
