OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes, you are correct. C :)

OpenStudy (miss.rose):

Thank you. Do you have time for 4 more?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sure :)

OpenStudy (miss.rose):

Which of the following is an example of an organism maintaining homeostasis? a boy riding a bike a cat grooming itself a bear nursing her cubs a man sweating while he runs I think this one?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Correct again! His body produces sweat to cool him off and maintain a constant body temperature.

OpenStudy (miss.rose):

Thank you. Here is the next one: Fish are not able to regulate their body temperature by producing heat. How could a fish adjust its body temperature if it were too warm? swimming into cooler water This one? This is the only one that make sense. evaporating water from its skin expelling water from its body speeding up its level of activity

OpenStudy (youngstudier):

I believe you are correct. ^-^

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I agree. :)

OpenStudy (miss.rose):

Thank you. Here is the next question: During a strenuous soccer game, a student is sweating a lot. Which of these would help her maintain her water balance? increasing breathing and heart rate refraining from drinking any water wiping off perspiration with a towel. drinking more water or other fluids This one?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yup :).

OpenStudy (miss.rose):

Thank you. Next question: What would happen if a person was not able to control his or her internal temperature? The rate of sweating would increase. The body organs would stop functioning properly. This one? The person would start shivering. Extra blood would move to the skin.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Correct! Although, the other options are possibilities, I believe the first thing that would happen is the organs would shut down and go into arrest.

OpenStudy (miss.rose):

Okay. Thank you. That was all the questions for now. Will you still be logged on in about 30 minutes? I will need some more help around that time, and I would like you to help me.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah, no problem. I'll definitely be up then. PM me when your ready. :)

OpenStudy (miss.rose):

Okay. Thanks!
