The correct answer is option A. The hormone erythropoeitin increases the production of red blood cells when oxygen levels are low.

Homeostasis means maintaining a steady state of a particular variable within the body of a living being. That variable may be anything like body temperature, gases like oxygen or carbon dioxide or a body fluid. The body of an organism has various mechanisms to maintain homeostasis. If a particular variable like oxygen in the body of  an organism is less than the normal amount then the body produces erythropoietin (EPO) hormone in the kidney which in turn increases the production of red blood cells. The red blood cells have hemoglobin which is responsible for transporting oxygen to the various tissues of the body. So, increased level of RBC implies increased oxygen supply. So, with the help of regulating mechanism the organism produced EPO which increased the level of RBCs in the blood resulting in excess oxygen supply. This is how an organism counters the lack of oxygen with the help of homeostasis.

Summarize the bonding properties of carbon
notka56 [123]
Well, Carbon has 4 Valence Electrons. I'm sure you know this, but valance electrons allow electrons to covalently bond with one another. The elements, when sharing the electrons, want to have 8 valance electrons. So carbon has 4 valance electrons so it can bond with itself, or another say 4 hydrogen [becuase hydrogen can live with 2 valance electrons]. Hope this helps. Remember: Electrons <3 8 valance electron bonds Carbon's 4 + Carbon's 4= 8 true love at first bond! OR Carbon's 4+ Hydrogen's 1 [x4] = 8 hope this help

Excitatory postsynaptic potentials (EPSPs) produced nearly simultaneously by different synapses on the same postsynaptic neuron
lakkis [162]

Answer: summation

Explanation:

The process which determine if an action potential will be generated or not depends on the combined effects of the signal inputs from multiple sources of  synapse or from the repeated signals from the same synapse.  

If the input signals reach the threshold voltage, action potential will be generated. (all –or –none principle).Therefore, this  process is a determinant of  the likelihood of action potential generation  and it is called summation.

Summation is the ability to integrate multiple PSPs at multiple synapses.it is  the process that determine if an action potential will be generated by combined effects of inhibitory or excitatory  signals.

Based on the pathways and voulme of applied stimuli in the presynaptic neuron;

The signals can be temporal summation ( consecutive  signals  produced from the same  synapse)where action potential of high frequency in the PSN generated action potential in the post synaptic neuron, which summate with one another. Or Spatial where signals inputs are from multiple presynaptic cells.
