- Which of the following best describes an example of negative feedback? The body starts shivering to generate heat when you detect you are too warm. The feeling of hunger after you've just had a big meal. The increase in breathing rate when the body detects you are low on oxygen and high on CO2. A decreased heart rate in response aerobic exercise. The body sweating when the temperature gets too cold.arrow_forwardAs the temperature surrounding an endotherm decreases from its normal body temperature down to the freezing point of water, what happens to the amount of energy consumed by this animal? The amount of energy consumed decreases There is no change in the amount of energy consumed The amount of energy consumed increasesarrow_forwardWhich of the following responses is an effector activated by the hypothalamus when the body temperature is lower than the set point? skin blood vessels dilate skeletal muscles contract move to a warmer location or put on a sweater weat glands initiate sweatingarrow_forward
- body temperature falls normal body temperature Feedback: body temperature falls Feedback: body temperature rises body temperature rises vasoconstriction Response: Vasodilation Normal body temperature FACY AS SPARENT O ICH AE EDUATE ATIO Response: Vasoconstriction vasodilation Stimulus: Increase in Body Temperature Stimulus: Decrease in Body Temperature UNarrow_forwardWhen you get cut, your skin cells release hormones that signal platelets to come and stop the bleeding. Platelets then release more hormones that signal even more platelets to help stop bleeding. The hormone signals continue until the cut is closed. Which type of feedback mechanism is exhibited in the given situation? Group of answer choices positive feedback negative feedback behavioral feedback structural feedbackarrow_forwardDuring a bacterial infection, the pathogen and the immune system send signals to the hypothalamus suggesting that temperature is set too low. In which of the following ways would the body respond? Sweating Breathing heavily Shivering Laying out splayed on the bedarrow_forward
- Examples of how the body maintains a constant body temperature are:A sweating and urinationB salt and fibre excretionC 'goose bumps' and glucose excretionarrow_forwardWhich of the following are functions of protein in the human body structure such as muscle transportation such as albumin enzymes all of the abovearrow_forwardA scientist observes an animal that maintains a stable internal body temperature regardless of the external environmental conditions. Which term best describes this thermoregulatory strategy? Group of answer choices Heterothermic Poikilothermic Ectothermic Homeothermicarrow_forward
- Ectotherms: They are otherwise called wanton creatures. Fishes, creatures of land and water, reptiles are ectotherms. Endotherms - they are otherwise called warm-blooded creatures. For example, birds and vertebrates are endotherms. Impact of temperature on endotherms - When the temperature is low, endotherms produce more hotness to keep the internal heat level steady. So endotherms are not influenced by the temperature of the climate. Impact of temperature on ectotherms - The temperature of the climate influences ectotherms. At the point when the temperature is high, ectotherms grow quicker. At the point when the temperature is low, they might foster injury. Provide biological reasoning for your claim about endotherms. Consider addressing the following: -Why do you see the data you see? -What is happening at the molecular level? -What are the benefits and disadvantages of being an endotherm. -How do endotherms maintain homeostasis?arrow_forwardWhich of the following statements about homeostasis is correct? Homeostasis is a dynamic but relatively stable state in the internal environment The chemical composition of the external environment does not affect homeostasis Homeostasis is maintained using only negative feedback; positive feedback does not contribute to homeostasis The environment maintain homeostasis All of the above are correctarrow_forward
