Question

Sweating and panting are examples of which characteristic of life?

responding to the environment
using energy
reproducing
growing and developing

Answer 1

responding to the environment

Step-by-step explanation:

Living things need to maintain a temperature for the body's physiological processes to continue to function. For this reason, when the room temperature gets too cold or too hot, the human body (and other animals) needs to have a rapid response to the environment to maintain its internal temperature. This process is called thermoregulation.

An example of processes that occur when the human body is thermoregulating is when someone is sweating or panting. The body shows sweat and panting to cool the body. This is a response to a warm environment.

Sweat is also a mechanism to lose heat. Small drops of water are eliminated through the skin through the sweat glands so that they evaporate by lowering the body temperature.

Similarly, when an organism is panting, it wants to release heat and refresh the body.

Answer 2

The best and most correct answer among the choices provided by the question is first choice "responding to the environment"

The human body readily responds to changing environmental stresses in a variety of biological and cultural ways. We can acclimatize to a wide range of temperature and pressures.
