Question

Sweating and panting are examples of which characteristic of life?

responding to the environment
using energy
reproducing
growing and developing

Answer 1

They are in response to the environment. Both are homoeostatic mechanisms that lower the core temperature of the body in response to an increase in body temperature. This is an example of 'negative feedback'.

Answer 2

Option A

Step-by-step explanation:

Both sweating and panting helps in maintaining the homeostasis with in the body. Sweating occurs when there is excessive hot. As a response to the climatic condition, the seat glands in our body become active and generate sweat. As the sweat evaporates in summer, it leaves behind a cooling effect. It plays an important role in keeping the internal body temperature of an organism constant. In a similar way when we require extra oxygen supply for doing a tedious or laborious task, panting occurs.

Hence, option A is correct
