Which environmental changes can cause an increase in the rates of reactions in cells?
increased temperature
What compound increase in solubility as temperature increase?
The vast majority of compounds increase in solubility as the temperature increases.
Do volcanic eruption increase or decrease the temperature of the earth?
increase
What happens to volume as temperature changes?
if volume of a gas increases temperature also increases
How industries increase the temperature?
The temperature of what? What industries?
Which environmental changes can cause an increase in the rates of reactions in cells?
increased temperature
What common household process if often compared to the way the endocrine system maintains homeostasis?
The common household process that is often compared to the way the endocrine system maintains homeostasis is a furnace thermostat on the wall of a house. In a house a thermostat is set at a specific temperature. When the temperature in the house falls below this designated temperature, the thermostat is triggered and signals the furnace to turn on and begin heating the house. Once the temperature of the house is above the designated temperature, the thermostat signals the furnace to turn off. This process is called negative feedback. The endocrine also works in a negative feedback system to maintain homeostasis. An example of negative feedback in the endocrine system is the regulation of calcium levels. Parathyroid glands release parathyroid hormone (PTH), which regulates the blood calcium levels. If there is a decrease in blood calcium the parathyroid glands will secrete more PTH. Then the PTH stimulates the release of calcium from the bones into the bloodstream. If blood calcium levels increase too much, the parathyroid glands will reduce their production of PTH and less calcium will be released from the bones.
What is the actual decrease in temperature with an increase in altitude through the tropospher?
Environmental lapse rate
A stressful situation can increase a person's sweating body temperature and heartbeat these body changes are due to the interaction of the?
The Nervous and Endocrine Systems.
How do the Immune system and endocrine work together?
The endocrine system releases cortisol with can make substances that increase your immunity.
How do you control the body's temperature blood oxygen concentration and water content when homeostasis is threatened by illness?
During illness, homeostasis is out of balance. It is imperative to reduce the fever, increase blood oxygen and level out water content to get back in balance.. An anti-inflammatory, a clear air passage and proper hydration will re-establish homeostasis.
Will the resistance of a copper conductor decrease with an increase in the applied voltage?
If all environmental conditions remain constant then the resistance will not change appreciably with applied voltage, but the current will increase. An increase in current will raise the temperature of the conductor which will increase the resistance somewhat.
Can sheep open or close the thermal windows?
animals may change their position (increase or decrease) the area of thermal windows related to surrounding environmental temperature.
What does the circulatory system control?
The circulatory system is only indirectly involved with creating homeostasis. Homeostasis is controlled by several systems including the nervous system and the endocrine system and most other organs. These systems depend on the circulatory system but are controlling the release of hormones, increase in blood flow, regulation of fluids in the blood, etc.
Why does temperature vary with height?
As temperature increase pressure will increase
What compound increase in solubility as temperature increase?
The vast majority of compounds increase in solubility as the temperature increases.
