Why is homeostasis essential to living things?

Biology
1 answer:
Finger [1]3 years ago
3 0
Without homeostasis, the internal and external environments of organisms would be unbalanced. Too much of one thing can harm, and even kill the organism.
For instance, when dogs are hot, they pant because they don't have sweat glands to maintain homeostasis. However, if the dog could not pant, it would die from its high body temperature.

How can local environmental changes have global effects?
Alex777 [14]

Answer:

D

Explanation:

Water and air circulate around the world in water currents and wind systems (like prevailing winds) respectively, hence distribute energy and whatever else they are carrying across the globe. This is why polluting the oceans in the equatorial region will have indirect consequences for marine life in the poles.

Pollution of air through emission  of greenhouse gases in one part of the globe will contribute to global warming across the world because these emissions will be carried around by prevailing winds and diffuse across the atmosphere.

Global warming also causes climate change that subsequently causes the displacement or migration of organisms when this change in climate is unfavorable

Due to the insertion of the hamstrings, cutting the patellar tendon would inactivate the hamstring group.
Alex787 [66]

Answer: False

Explanation:

The patellar tendon attaches the bottom of the kneecap (patella) to the top of the shinbone (tibia). It is actually a ligament that connects to two different bones, the patella and the tibia.The patella is attached to the quadriceps muscles by the quadriceps tendon.The medial and lateral vasti muscles also attach independently to patella to form aponeuroses, the medial and lateral patellar ligament. Working together, the quadriceps muscles, quadriceps tendon and patellar tendon straighten the knee. When the patellor tendon is ruptured, the ability to extend the knee is greatly effected and decreased but its not completely disappears. Thus the quadriceps functions is not entirely compromised.
