DneostaSIS means maintaining a stable, approximately constant internal environment within an organism. O ose the external environment is constantly changing (temperature, chemicals, etc.), organisms must have a control system to detecting changes and responding to them.. Anything that must be maintained in the body within a normal range (the "set point") must have a control system. For example, body temperature, blood pressure, and blood glucose levels are all regulated. To cal Immmon ht 16. A homeostatic control mechanism consists of three parts. Fill in the blanks with the appropriate word for the analogy below. ast gool The variable or stimulus is the factor that is regulated (ex: room temperature / body temperature). A variable is like a teeter-totter. If it is perfectly balanced in the horizontal position, it is at the normal value called the ibeet (ex: 68° F/98.6° F). The (ex: thermometer / nerves in the skin) senses changes in the variable SC (temperature) and sends information…

Macular degeneration is a serious disease of the eyes that can lead to blindness. A recent study suggeststhat nutrients such as lutein and zeaxanthin, found in green leafy vegetables, can slow the onset andprogress of this disease in humans. In the study, a group of 2000 older individuals were contacted throughrandom digit dialing and asked about their eating habits. (Macular degeneration usually manifests later inlife.) The group who ate green leafy vegetables fewer than two times a week had a significantly higher rateof macular degeneration (25% higher) than those who ate green leafy vegetables five or more times perweek. They also had a higher rate (5%) of cases that were considered severe among those who had thedisease.(a) Determine whether the study is an observational study or an experiment. Explain how you know.(b) If the study is an experiment, identify the control and treatment groups. If the study is observational,state whether it is a case-control study, and if so, identify…
