Which statement best explains how sweating during exercise maintains homeostasis?
It regulates mineral concentrations in cells
It regulates body temperature
It maintains water balance
It maintains sugar balance in cells
Which statement best explains why animals are considered heterotrophic?
They are able to produce food through the process of photosynthesis.
They are able to produce food through the process of respiration.
They are able to obtain nutrients by decomposing plant and animal tissue.
They are able to obtain nutrients by consuming other organisms or their products
In some ecosystems, wolves have been eliminated due to their threats to humans. How can the reintroduction of wolves benefit the ecosystem?
It can eliminate weak animals from a prey population, thereby decreasing competition for natural resources
It can eliminate the most fit animals among the prey population, which will cause an increase in birth rates of the prey
It can cause the prey population to migrate to other areas, resulting in more fit prey.
It can cause the prey population to better blend in with their environment.
Which effect could a mutation in mRNA have on the production of proteins?
The protein produced will have a different identity
The protein produced will have a coiled shape.
The protein produced will produce excess nitrogen.
The protein produced will produce excess water
How do some chemicals increase the risk of a person getting cancer?
by causing cell mutations
by causing a deficiency of vitamin D
by causing an increase of toxins in the skin
by causing a decrease in the immune response
