Question

Which of the following is an example of an organism maintaining homeostasis?

A.
a boy riding a bike

B.
a cat grooming itself

C.
a bear nursing her cubs

D.
a man sweating while he runs

Answer 1

Homeostasis is about an organism trying to keep it's conditions in a suitable range. Like from getting too much or too little of something.

Answer 2

A bear nursing the cubs doesn't work, because it doesn't affect the mother bear's conditions.

Answer 3

Same with the boy and his bike, he's not regulating conditions, he's just getting healthy.

Answer 4

Does the cat really need to groom itself to allow for it's internal conditions to keep working? No.

Answer 5

So the answer is a man sweating because his body is trying to keep from being too hot.

Answer 6

In the future you may want to post this in the science section, since this is the math section.
