Homeostasis is maintained through feedback mechanisms. a. True b. False

Biology
1 answer:
Kaylis [27]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

a. True

Explanation:

An endocrine system refers to a series of ductless glands and organs responsible for the production and secretion of hormones that are used by the body for the performance of various functions such as metabolism, controlling growth, reproduction, mood, sleep, etc. These hormones are secreted directly into the circulatory system (blood) and then transported to the organs and tissues in the body.

Basically, the endocrine system contributes significantly to the state of homeostasis in the body.

Homeostasis can be defined as a process through which a living organism maintains a steady or stable physical, internal and chemical environment that is ideal to enhance life and proper functionality.

Homeostasis is maintained through feedback mechanisms, which are either positive or negative feedback.

During a negative feedback, a sensor and a control center in the body of a living organism maintains blood glucose to regulate blood pressure by releasing glucagon to increase blood sugar or releasing insulin to decrease blood sugar.

For a positive feedback, a sensor and a control center aids child birth by causing the uterine to contract.

What is the principle of common decent? Use your OWN words plz?? <3
Natali5045456 [20]

Answer:

<em>The principle of common descent states that all organisms in the world exist because of a common ancestor which gave rise to all the life seen on Earth. The organisms which are more closer to one another might have a common ancestor in the near past as compared to other organisms. The organisms which share distant common ancestors have less common characteristics. This principle has led us to form the basis for the formation of evolutionary biology. </em>

During drought years, seeds with thin coats are more likely to desiccate (dry out) and not be able to germinate
Morgarella [4.7K]

Directional selection favors one of the extreme phenotypes. Option B). Fewer plants with thin seed coats will be able to germinate, leading to a higher proportion of plants that produce seeds with thick seed coats.

<h3>What is directional selection?</h3>

Directional selection increases in the proportion of individuals with an extreme phenotypic trait.

There must be a selective pressure or environmental pressure acting on populations to lead the species to increase the number of individuals expressing that extreme phenotype.

This selection presents more frequently in those cases in which interactions between living organisms and the environment modify in the same direction.

In the exposed example the environmental pressure is drought during several years.

Drought periods decreases the fitness of plants that produce thin seed coats because they dehydrate before germinating.

Originally the population expressed both types of seeds. But after the drought pressure, only plants that produce seeds with thicker coats got to survive and reproduce.

The correct option is B). Fewer plants with thin seed coats will be able to germinate, leading to a higher proportion of plants that produce seeds with thick seed coats.
