List the important factors that distinguish living organisms from non-living organisms. (Life necessities: energy, evolutionary adaptation, grow/develop, reproduce, respond to environment, regulation to maintain homeostasis, order)
DneostaSIS means maintaining a stable, approximately constant internal environment within an organism. O ose the external environment is constantly changing (temperature, chemicals, etc.), organisms must have a control system to detecting changes and responding to them.. Anything that must be maintained in the body within a normal range (the "set point") must have a control system. For example, body temperature, blood pressure, and blood glucose levels are all regulated. To cal Immmon ht 16. A homeostatic control mechanism consists of three parts. Fill in the blanks with the appropriate word for the analogy below. ast gool The variable or stimulus is the factor that is regulated (ex: room temperature / body temperature). A variable is like a teeter-totter. If it is perfectly balanced in the horizontal position, it is at the normal value called the ibeet (ex: 68° F/98.6° F). The (ex: thermometer / nerves in the skin) senses changes in the variable SC (temperature) and sends information…
What describes an organism ability to maintain the stable internal conditions essential for life
There are several qualities that an organism must display to be considered "alive." Please name three of these qualities.
Consider the following scenario: A group of five treasure hunters have been hired to retrieve some artefacts believed to be in an abandoned castle in an environment similar to the Arctic tundra (this is a quasi-fantasy land where disparate climates can co-exist in ways they can’t in reality, but everyone is human and has human physiology). Their expedition is happening in winter, and the group set out each carrying a pack of supplies including tents, sleeping gear, and food for either 3 well-fed days or up to 8 days with rationing (approximately 30kg each). The treasure hunters travel on foot to get to the castle through lands where there are predators such as wolves and bears. They have two options in terms of speed of travel: slow (7 days to castle), and fast (4 days to castle). 1) As an advisor to the group, which speed would you say they should travel? Note – neither speed is wrong however your answer must justify your choice in terms of physiology. Once the group get to the…
Hello, May I get help on this question very soon please? I do not understand it. Scenario: Chris M is a scientist who studies a species of fish that only lives in some desert lakes at the bottom of Death Valley, California. Death Valley is about 282 feet below sea level. He notices that he feels like he can breathe a little better down there than at his home at sea level. He comes to you, his best friend who is a physiologist, and he asks why? You tell Chris… (see image)
The Scientific Revolution, starting with Copernicus in the 15th century and ending with Newton in the early 18th century, would have profound impact as it heralded the birth of modern science and the scientific method. The result was important advances in the basic sciences as well as medicine itself in Europe during this period (15th through the 18th century) that would make possible the prevention and cure of diseases. Define the Scientific Method and discuss how it relates to advances in medicine ((hint: microscopy, anatomy, chemistry and the study of specific diseases).
1.1. Every day, millions of neurons of brain cells die that are why our body tends to reproduce them every day as well, as for it to continue functioning well. Which among the distinguishing characteristics of living organisms explains this? 1.2. All organisms utilize all of its faculties to function such as eat, to grow, reproduce, fight-or-flight and a lot more which requires energy. Considering, organisms make use of their skin, digestive tract and other organ system to do these. Which among the distinguishing characteristics of living organisms explains this? 1.3.

This process refers to the long-term storage of cells (embryo or germ cells), tissues or organs at very low temperatures to preserve their viability.
Read the following statements: ANIMAL AND PLANT PHYSIOLOGY Both plant biologists and animal biologists seek to understand how their focal organisms have evolved to interact with the environment. Despite this similarity in goals, the differing biology of plants and animals as well as other factors have led these scientific communities to diverge. Scientific discoveries that have occurred in each community in relative isolation may advance progress in the other community and set the stage for broad scientific syntheses. Integrative and Comparative Biology, Volume 42, Issue 3, July 2002, Pages 409-414, https://doi.org/10.1093/icb/42.3.409 Environmental stress can be either natural or anthropogenic (i.e., resulting from human actions) in origin. Many environmental stresses, such as most hurricanes, droughts, floods, and fires are a periodic feature of life on Earth. In contrast, environmental stresses such as the production and release of new chemical compounds and large-scale land-use…
An organism has to overcome stressful condition for a limited period of time. Which strategies can it adopt to do so?
If your blood pressure raises, blood is allowed to flow to the capillaries which decreases blood pressure. On the other hand, if your blood pressure drops some capillaries are deprived of blood flow to raise blood pressure. This is an example of which property of life? A) All life transforms energy B) All life is organized C) All life maintains homeostasis D) All life evolves E) All life grows and develops F) All life can reproduce
