Water is released by the sweat glands to the surface of the skin where it evaporates causing a cooling effect on the body.

Cells use transport as one way to maintain?

Cells use transport mechanisms to maintain homeostasis by regulating the movement of molecules in and out of the cell, ensuring a balance of nutrients and wastes. This helps cells maintain proper internal conditions such as pH, ion concentration, and energy levels, allowing them to function optimally.


Homeostasis is the process by which plants use sunlight to make organic compounds from carbon dioxide and water?

Homeostasis is maintaining a constant internal environment. A good example of homeostasis is the regulation of blood glucose levels in humans. Too low and glucagon triggers the break down of glycogen raising the blood glucose levels, too high and insulin causes glucose to be removed from the blood and synthesised into glycogen. Homostasis is always about negative feedback as described in the example above. The process you have described in your question is photosynthesis and is an anabolic process and on its own is NOT a homeostasis process. The plant will make sugar compounds from carbon dioxide and use these compounds for respiration, its basically a way of harvesting and producing usable energy so not a homeostasis process.


How would chronic diarrhea affect homeostasis of the body?

your body is made up of mostly water. when you lose all that water and nutrients through your bowels that only leads to trouble. the body works in a way where anything is wrong it always tries to correct it by compensating for the loss. thust losing lots of water through your bowels makes you dehydrated. when you deplete your body of the resource that it mostly lives on, water, your only asking for trouble. pretty simple: normal body- water and electrolytes= disturbance of homeostasis in the body.


How does the cell membrane help cells maintain homeostasis?

The cell membrane controls the passage of molecules in and out of the cell, allowing it to maintain internal conditions necessary for survival. It also helps in maintaining proper concentration gradients of ions and molecules. This selective permeability is essential for regulating cell functions and ensuring homeostasis.


What organs are involved in homeostasis?

Homeostasis is the body's way of regulating internal conditions: * Core body temperature - to prevent temperatures going above or below 37 degrees Celcius, vasoconstriction or vasodilation takes place in the bloodstream to reduce or enlarge the size of blood vessels near the surface of your skin. Muscles will rapidly relax and contract if you are too cold - shivering. Also your hair will stand on end in an effort to trap air - a good insulator. * Blood sugar levels - the pancreas secretes insulin to convert glucose into glycogen * Water and ion content - Water is taken into the body by eating, drinking and as a by-product of respiration. The hypothalmus in the brain will send negative-feedback signals to tell us if we are thirsty, or if we need to excrete waste, via the kidneys and bladder.

What do you need to maintain homeostasis?

At the cellular level you need plenty of water. The cell must be able to retain what is necessary such as lipids, proteins etc and keep out what it doesn't need. If an equilibrium is reached and the cell is happy, that is a form of homeostasis. This is one way to think of it.


How does homeostasis keep organ systems from failing in fish?

Homeostasis keeps organs from failing the same way in every organism, they counteract major shifts in the way that the body is functioning.

How do you play water polo without the horse?

Water Polo is a very different sport to Polo. The way it is played is completely different and the equipment is different. There are no horses involved, just like there are no mallets involved and the ball is also different. Water Polo has its own rules.
