Answer: The correct answer is-

C. Insulin secretion in response to high blood sugar.

D. Increased heart rate in response to exercise.

F. Proton pumping to maintain a proper pH level.

Homeostasis can be described as a tendency of living organisms to maintain a state of stable internal environment. In other words, it is the tendency to resist any change in the optimal conditions for survival.

It is brought by several regulatory mechanisms in the body such as regulation of body temperature, regulation of pH, regulation of osmolarity etc.

  • Whenever there is high blood sugar level, insulin hormone is secreted from pancreas that reduces the blood sugar level.
  • Heart rate is increased in response to exercise so that more oxygen is transported through blood circulation and more amount of energy is harvested through cellular respiration in the form of ATP ( required in exercise).
  • Pumping of proton maintains a proper pH level ( such as in lysosomes, where pH is highly acidic, high proton concentration is regulated through proton pumping).

Thus, option C), D), and F) are the examples of feedback mechanisms  that help in maintaining homeostasis.

List the organs of the urinary system and locate them in the view.
Stolb23 [73]

The organs of the urinary system include the kidneys, renal pelvis, ureters, bladder and urethra.

The function of the urinary system is to filter blood and thus produce urine as a waste by-product. The body absorbs nutrients from food and converts them into energy. After the body has gained the required food nutrients, certain waste by-products remain in the bowel as well as in the blood.

The urinary system assists the body in eliminating liquid waste called urea with the help of kidneys, and also maintains fluid balance i.e. water and mineral (like sodium, potassium) balance.

Urea is transported to the kidneys via the bloodstream. It is finally removed together with water and certain other wastes in the form of urine.

Answer:

The team would have to replace the nucleus.

Explanation:

Prokaryotic cells, such as the Mycoplasma capricolum cell used in the experiment do not contain either membrane bound organelles or a defined nucleus. Prokaryotic DNA floats around freely in the cytoplasm in a region called the nucleoid.

The genetic material of eukaryotic cells is protected by a membrane bound nucleus. Therefore, in order to replace an animal cell's DNA, the whole nucleus has to be removed.

Example:

In the process of cloning, the oocyte (egg cell) that receives the nucleus (from somatic cell) of the desired species or individual has to be enucleated i.e. its own nucleus has to be removed. This process is called somatic cell nuclear transfer.
