The sympathetic division of the autonomic nervous system is active just before the race because it functions to mobilize resources of the body for energy expenditure and as well metabolism, for the purposes of increasing physical activities inside the body such as blood pressure, heart rate, breathing rate, which are important aspects during exercises

Answer:

The sympathetic division of the nervous system is active under the fright and stressed conditions. In the stressed conditions the body becomes more alert and active.

Before race the body and mind is under stressful condition to give its best. Under the stress conditions the sympathetic nervous system controls the heart rate and other mechanism.

So, before race the sympathetic division of the autonomic nervous system becomes active.

How does heat transfer from the tea to the spoon?

Licemer1 [7]

This occurs through conduction when two things get in contact with each other.

here's a definition from kid's britannica: "Conduction transfers heat within a body or between two bodies that are touching. It is a point-by-point process of heat transfer. Conduction occurs in solids, liquids, or gases that are at rest. Energy flows, but the substance through which the heat is being transferred does not itself flow."

A good example of homeostasis would be: darkening a room makes it easier to sleep. ingesting too much alcohol leads to vomiting.

solmaris [256]

Homeostasis is a self-regulating technique by which systems in the body maintain stability and tend to adjust to optimal conditions which are essential for survival. Thereby, the role of homeostasis is to help the body maintain constant internal environment. A good example of homeostasis would be ‘drinking excess alcohol causes vomiting’.
