kicyunya [14]

Muscular exercise presents a dramatic test of the body's homeostatic control systems because it results in large amounts of heat production.

Homeostatic control systems- A body's physiological ability to maintain a steady internal environment in response to changes in the external environment is known as homeostasis.

Heat Production- The term "thermogenesis" refers to the process through which energy is lost by producing heat with specialization.

Energy- In biology, cells frequently store energy in macromolecules, especially lipids and carbohydrates (sugars). When chemical bonds are formed, such as during the redox reactions of cellular aerobic respiration, energy is released.

Redox Reactions- A reaction that happens when an oxidizing material and a reducing substance come into contact.

The other options are incorrect because sickle cell disease is an inherited disease, but malaria is not - it is an infectious disease. However, both of these disease are quite dangerous, and may have severe consequences (such as death) if they are not properly treated.
