Olympic sprinters undergo increased heart and breathing rates while competing. Which of the following best describes the interactions among systems of a sprinter?

• Respiratory system is working to obtain more oxygen, while the circulatory system works to transport the oxygen to the muscles.

• The digestive system takes in more glucose, while the excretory system removes waste.

• The endocrine system transports ATP to the nervous system

• Excretory system removes waste from the digestive system to reduce weight so the sprinter can run faster

Why is the maintenance of homeostasis important to multicellular organisms?

• They must keep their internal environment within a narrow range of conditions.

• They require the ability to adjust their internal environment to match their external environment

• Their cells need to be able to respond rapidly to drastic changes in their external enviornment

• Their internal environment must provide their cells with a wide range of conditions
