Why is it so important for animals to keep the concentration of their body fluids constant​

Biology
1 answer:
Maurinko [17]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

A balance of bodily fluids will prevent the development of diseases, the deterioration of body organs, and death of animals.

Explanation:

Water, blood, saliva, sweat and other body fluids should be kept constant and balanced through homeostasis because the sharp rise and fall of these fluids will prevent the organs of the body from operating optimally and this can lead to the development of diseases and consequent death. For example, water is a vital fluid. Too much of water in the system can lead to diseases like Edema where the legs begins to swell because there is no way of letting out body fluids from the body.

Too little water in the body can lead to dehydration and the increase in blood pressure because of the excessive concentration of solutes. The digestive and urinary systems have  mechanisms to keep this fluid under control.

“Mitosis and Meiosis I are very different, but Mitosis and Meiosis II are very similar. Therefore, Meiosis I must cause all the
eimsori [14]
Yes, I agree with statement b/c in meiosis I, specifically in prophase I the homologous chromosomes line and form tetrads in which they exhibit the act of ‘crossing over’ which allows for genetic diversity; This would not occur in mitosis as body cells are produced to repair or for growth so the division of cells must allow for the exact replication of DNA or it is not possible to repair the body or growth if there is genetic variation in each cell. Also, in Meiosis I, specifically when metaphase I occurs, it is impossible to predict how the homologous chromosomes will be split, therefore creating even more diversity of genes known as Independent assortment. None of these processes occur in meiosis II, as the exchange of DNA and act of genetic diversity has already occurred in Meiosis I, therefore Meiosis II simply has to go throwing regular cell division making it more similar to mitosis than Meiosis I; Independent assortment and crossing over are the processes that set Meiosis I to differ from the others.
