Question

Examples of actions that help maintain homeostasis include:

Select one:
a. Shivering to warm the body
b. Evaporation of sweat to warm the body
c. Evaporation of sweat to cool the body
d. Both A and C are correct
e. Both A and B are correct

Answer 1

The correct answer is 'd. Both A and C are correct,' as both shivering to warm up and sweating for evaporative cooling are ways that the body maintains homeostasis.

Step-by-step explanation:

Examples of actions that help maintain homeostasis include shivering to warm the body and evaporation of sweat to cool the body. Therefore, the correct answer is d. Both A and C are correct. When you exercise on a warm day, your rising core body temperature triggers homeostatic mechanisms.

One is the increased transport of blood from your core to your body periphery to lose heat through the vessels of the skin. Another is the production of sweat, which evaporates from the skin's surface, consequently cooling the body. Similarly, in hot desert climates, animals may have adaptations like concentrated urine to conserve water, while plants may have thickened leaves to reduce water loss.
