Answer:

Homoestasis keeps our body healthy by maintaining its temperature.

Explanation:

Going for a long walk on a hot day will stimulate thermoreceptors in your skin in response to heat and send nerve impulse to the hypothalamus in your brain causing it to release the hormone oxytocin. Oxytocin will stimulate the sweat glands found in the dermis (skin layer) to release stored water. Water will then evaporate through the skin pores, cooling you and maintaining the temperature within its normal healthy range.

Where does the waste material in the body come from and why does the body need to get rid of these waste materials?
Marizza181 [45]
"Waste" -- in the form of urine and feces -- how the body removes the parts of food we ingest that is not used for nutrition and also is a way to rid the body of toxins. The kidneys filter the blood, removing "waste" products such as excess vitamins or drugs (this is why your urine can have a bright color if you take high doses of vitamin c) and liquid waste is held in the bladder before being released. Food travels through the gut to be digested -- broken down into usable bits and waste. After breaking down in the stomach, the material travels through the small and large intestines. The small intestine is lined with villi -- tiny protrusions that add surface area so nutrients can be absorbed into the bloodstream. In the large intestine and colon, water is pulled from the mass so it becomes more solid. Eventually the solidified waste passed through the rectum and out the anus as feces. The build-up of waste in the body can itself be toxic -- if the kidneys do not function properly to clean the waste out, the buildup can be fatal. When the body goes into emergency mode to eliminate a toxic substance -- such as e. Coli in the case of food poisoning -- the intestines don't both absorbing water and the result is the liquid fecal matter being quickly passed through and ejected as diarrhea.

Analyze and evaluate how natural selection produces change in populations as opposed to individuals.​
RSB [31]

Answer:

Natural selection can be described as a phenomenon in which individuals of a population which are better adapted to survive in an environment are favored by nature as compared to the individuals of the population which lack better characteristics to survive in the environment.

Through natural selection, evolution occurs and the allelic frequency changes over a period of time. The process of evolution as well as change in the allelic frequencies does not occur just by a single individual, rather it is a collective effort which takes a lot of time. Hence, we say that natural selection changes the population and not a single individual.
