Answer:

B

Explanation:

Carbon atoms usually have a Lewis electron configuration of 2.4. To gain a stable electron configuration of 2.8, they usually form covalent bonds with other atoms such as another carbon and hydrogen. Carbon does not form ionic bonds because it would require much more energy for the atom to gain 4 electrons or lose the 4 electrons to achieve electron configuration. This is why carbon is a significant atom of life due to its versatility in how it bonds with other atoms including other carbon atoms. It can also form single double and triple bonds giving rise to many compounds, with the same elements, but with different properties.

Sloan [31]
The correct answer is A. maintaining homeostasis.
Homeostasis is a term referring to an organisms continuous process of maintaining and auto-regulating the conditions of its internal environment. Variables such as pH, temperature, and fluid balance need to be at optimal conditions in order for the organism to function properly.
In this example, the phosphate buffer system permits the organisms to maintain a constant pH in their intracellular fluid. This is one of the organism's homeostatic mechanisms.

Ludmilka [50]

The avian kidneys are divided into units called lobules and as the two avian kidneys of birds do their work or function, most of these birds excrete nitrogenous waste known as uric acid from the blood, which reduces water loss but requires more metabolic energy to produce nitrogenous waste.
