Answer:c. homeostasis

Explanation:homeostasis is the mechanism of the body to regulate and keep constant it's internal environment.

It usually involves a receptor which receives the stimuli,an intergration center which is usually the brain,and the effector.

Humans are warm blooded animals and so need to keep their body temperature constant regardless of that of the environment.

When it gets cold,the body shivers, Goosebumps appear and the hairs stands in attempts to keep the body warm

How do body systems work together to maintain homeostasis
Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer: By Hormonal action and Nervous coordination

Explanation:

Hormones are substances produced by one tissue and conveyed by the bloodstream to another to effect physiological activity. Homeostasis is the maintenance of a stable internal environment in the body.

Body systems such as digestive, circulatory, excretory systems etc, all are coordinated to achieve a STABLE INTERNAL ENVIRONMENT by the aid of HORMONES AND/OR NERVOUS COORDINATION.

For Example: the vasodilation of blood vessels during hot weather, and the opposite action of vasoconstriction during cold weather are both controlled by Hormonal action and nervous coordination which leads to a stable body temperature preventing excess heat accumulation.

Also, Nervous system controls the body systems, such that the muscle contractions are joined to actions like sweating, breathing, respiration etc

So, to maintain homeostasis hormonal action and Nervous coordination is necessary.

6) How does an offspring of a mushroom or mold (asexual reproduction) compare to its parent?
Verizon [17]

A mushroom or a mold commonly reproduces asexually by the formation of spores. Spores are produced in the sporangium through mitosis involving only one parent. They are released from the parent and germinate into new a mushroom or a mold. The offspring are genetically identical to that parent because their formation do not involve meiosis and fertilization. Spores allow fungi to expand their distribution and colonize new environments.
