What is the basic unit of the human body and all living things called?
All living things are made of one or more cells which have DNA in them.
Explain how the internal state of balance is maintained in the body?
An internal state of balance is maintained by a term called "homeostasis". In order for the body to be balanced, it must maintain five functions. (1) atmospheric pressure (2) nutrients (3) oxygen (4) water (5) body temperature. Homeostasis describes the body's ability to maintain relatively stable in internal conditions even though the outside world is constantly changing. For example, when a persons body temperature drops, the hypothalamus (located in the brain: responsible for maintaining body temperature) sends a signal that the body is too cold and the hypothalamus will regulate the body temperature to a normal range. Any kind of homeostatic imbalance in the body could trigger severe illnesses.
What are two reasons why living things move?
living organisms move from one place to another to find food,to find shelter, to find mates,and to escape from preditors
What helps the body regulate temperature?
Perspiration. Shivering.
Why is it important to measure the body temperature with precision?
The temperature of your body maintained through homeostasis is very delicate, and the slightest change from your regular 98 degrees can mean a fever. There is a large and dangerous difference between a 99 degree fever and a 104 degree fever. Precision is also misspelled.
How does your body temperature get maintained?
Your body temperature is regulated by the hypothalamus.
Which characteristic of living things is probably homeostasis?
The characteristic of living things that is homeostasis is an organisms ability to regulate body temperature.
How are different types of living things classified?
They are been classified accordingly to their body temperature
Enzymes are important to living things because they permit?
reactions to occur rapidly and at body temperature
What temperature does the body need to be maintained at?
95.5 - 97.5 degrees Fahrenheit
What happens to the body if the body temperature is not maintained?
If the temperature of the body is disrupted, the body's homeostasis will be off balance, and critical chemical reactions will not be able to occur, thus eventually shutting down the body.
Hunger sleep thirst and correct body temperature are maintained by the what?
Your mother. Later, your wife.
What is the normal body temperature of living things?
different temperature in living thing ,worm blooded and cold blooded main two types
Why is the temperature of the testes lower than core body temperature?
If the testes are not maintained at a temperature about 2 °C lower than body temperature the process of spermatogenesis will not take place, so that is why it is important for the testes to descend into the scrotum during maturation.
Why is temperature is non living things?
because they r sitting there for a long time and gradually they become the same temperature because they dont hav body heat or anything else to change tht
What four things is an organism made up of in order for it to survive?
The organism needs food, water, homeostasis (body temperature is healthy) and living space.
What help the body maintain homeostasis?
Temperature regulation in the body is maintained but the brain stem. They hypothalamus of the brain controls hydration in the body. Both help maintain homeostasis.
