Answer:

See the answer below

Explanation:

Homeostasis refers to the maintenance of relatively constant internal body processes. This is done in two ways

  • <em>Negative feedbacks</em>
  • <em>Positive feedbacks</em>

Negative feedback returns body processes back to normal after the process has been breached. An example is when the body temperature becomes too high or too low. At too high temperature, vasodilation of the skin's blood vessels occurs and more heat is lost to the surrounding from the skin, sweat is also produced by sweat glands and evaporation of the seat causes cooling. At too low temperature, vasoconstriction occurs leading to the conservation of more heat. The muscles also shake to generate more body heat

Positive feedback ensures that a breach of body processes reaches completion. An example is when a pregnant woman starts laboring. The increase in the amount of oxytocin in the blood leads to the contraction of the uterus consequently leading to the opening of the cervix. More and more oxytocin leads to more frequent and stronger contraction of the uterus untill the baby is born.

coldgirl [10]

Answer:

First evidence is both are plants.

Second evidence is both uses sunlight.

Explanation:

Grasses and clover are autotroph and can be classified as producer because they has the ability to produce their own food from the process of photosynthesis. Gerald’s classification is right because grasses and clover are plants and we know that plants are the producer of the ecosystem. We can also see that plant is the only organism which uses sun as a source of energy from which it produce their own food.
