Answer:

The large intestine performs the vital functions of converting food into feces, absorbing essential vitamins produced by gut bacteria, and reclaiming water from feces. A slurry of digested food, known as chyme, enters the large intestine from the small intestine via the ileocecal sphincter.

How do guard cells maintain homeostasis?
Mice21 [21]

Answer:

Explanation:  Guard cells in the plants prevent water loss from it in cases of soil dryness or high temperature by closing themselves. If this does not happen, water will keep leaving the plant by the process of transpiration in these harsh conditions and the plant will not have the important medium for the homeostasis process to continue.

Clear cutting has a similar effect as controlled burning of a forest. True False
zysi [14]

The correct answer is false and here is why:

Clear cutting refers to the cutting of trees, specifically all of the trees in one select area. Replanting is not done and this leads to deforestation.

Controlled burns have a completely different affect. They burn the under brush to help keep the soil rich with nutrients, plus they also help to prevent large crown fires that burn down whole forests from happening.

Clear cutting is a bad thing and controlled burns are a good limiter for a forest.

The diagram below represents a change in guard cells that open and close pores in a plant) This Change directly helps to A. incr
AveGali [126]

The correct answer is option C, that is, regulate water loss.  

Guard cells refer to the cells enclosing each stomata. They assist in monitoring the rate of transpiration by closing and opening the stomata. The guard cells possess the tendency to monitor the closing and opening of stomata by changing shape. The shape of the guard cells modifies on the basis of the concentration of potassium ions and water found in the cells themselves.  

The stomatal pores get closed when carbon dioxide is no longer needed for the process of photosynthesis. The guard cells swell when movement of water takes place inside these pores, and thus, the opening of stomatal pores occurs, and as water moves out, the guard cell closes. Thus, guard cells play an essential role in regulating water loss.
