Recall that the ability to maintain a stable internal environment in spite of changes in the external or internal environment is
muminat

Answer:

Homeostasis

Explanation:

Homeostasis is a mechanism of the body which involves negative feedback loops that helps the body to maintain a stable internal environment when there is an external or internal change.

An example of homeostasis in the human body is the regulation of the internal temperature of the body. When there is a change in the normal body temperature, for example, if your temperature drops sharply below 37 degrees Celsius, homeostasis kicks off in the body to maintain the normal body temperature. Homeostasis uses thermoregulation mechanism which triggers shivering to raise the body temperature in an attempt to return it back to normal.

Homeostasis also makes it possible for the body to maintain the balance of water and other substances in the body like calcium in our body. For example, when the calcium level drops below normal level, the parathyroid gland secretes hormone which helps in the increasing of blood calcium levels.  

Homeostasis s a essential mechanism that helps keeps the body in a balance and functional state.

What are the Archeabacteria's Characteristics
Vikki [24]

Answer:

Most protists are unicellular. You may be wondering why those protists are not classified in the Archaebacteria or Eubacteria kingdoms. It is because, unlike bacteria, protists are complex cells.

Also:

Among these three main types of archaea are some subtypes, which include: Methanogens  — archaeans that produce methane gas as a waste product of their "digestion," or process of making energy. Halophiles  — those archaeans that live in salty environments.

Sequence the skeletal and muscular changes that take place when a person inhales
o-na [289]
During inhalation, you breathe in and this contracts the diaphragm and moves downwards. This increments the chest cavity space which means the lungs are expanding. The intercostal muscles or the muscles in between the ribs also aids in the enlargement of the chest cavity. Both muscles contract to pull your rib cage upward and outward when you inhale. As your lungs expand, air is sucked through your nose and mouth. It then travels down to the windpipe and into the lungs to the bronchus, bronchioles and eventually in the alveoli where air exchange between carbon dioxide and oxygen happens.

The additional accessory muscles of respiration are typically used only under conditions that are of high metabolic demand or respiratory dysfunction. However, in instances where these muscles become stiff and hard, expansion of the rib cage can be quite restricted. The accessory muscles of respiration include sternocleidomastoid and the scalene muscles namely anterior, middle and posterior scalene. Both aid in elevating the rib cage. However, their involvement seems to depend on the degree of respiratory effort. During quiet breathing, the scalenes are consistently active at certain phases while the sternocleidomastoid is quite.

All EXCEPT which of the following would occur when the sympathetic division is activated? All EXCEPT which of the following woul
madam [21]

Answer:

The correct answer is "Decreased metabolic rate".

Explanation:

The sympathetic division is the part of the autonomic nervous system that deals with the coined "fight or flight" response when facing with a stressful situation. Is not true that when the sympathetic division is activated the metabolic rate decreases, actually, the effect is the opposite. The sympathetic division influences key processes such as glucose and lipid metabolism as well as daily energy expenditure, particularly, it influences the resting metabolic rate (RMR).

Choose an activity that you, your family, or a friend engages in and which results in pollution. Discuss some of the ethical, ec
VMariaS [17]

An activity that me, my family or friends engage in that causes pollution is the use of vehicles that run on fossil fuels for transportation.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Fossil fuels contribute to pollution in a large way. Burning of fossil fuels release gases like carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, oxides of sulphur, nitrogen etc which accelerate pollution. Petrol and diesel are the common fossil fuels used in vehicles.

Easy transportation is the necessity that makes people chose this alternative. There are other alternatives to fossil fuels. Vehicles can use cleaner fuels like CNG and LPG.  

The vehicles can also be powered by electricity. But switching to these alternatives has some limitations as well which makes people find it difficult some times. It would never be a simple matter to sop this activity considering how important fast transportation is in this era.
