What is thermoregulation?

Back

Thermoregulation is the process by which the body maintains its core internal temperature despite changes in the external environment.

Front

What happens to skin surface temperature when placed in ice water?

Back

Skin surface temperature decreases when placed in ice water due to the body's attempt to maintain homeostasis.

Front

What is homeostasis?

Back

Homeostasis is the ability of the body to maintain a stable internal environment despite external changes.

Front

Why does pulse rate increase during exercise?

Back

Pulse rate increases during exercise because muscles require more oxygen to produce ATP (adenosine triphosphate) for energy.

Front

Back

Blood glucose levels increase after eating a meal as the body absorbs glucose from digested food.

Front

What is the role of stomata in plants?

Back

Stomata are small openings on plant leaves that allow for gas exchange, specifically the intake of carbon dioxide and the release of oxygen.

Front

What is the relationship between stomata and homeostasis in plants?

Back

Stomata help regulate gas exchange, which is essential for maintaining homeostasis in plants by balancing water loss and carbon dioxide intake.

Front

What is the definition of tissue in biological terms?

Back

Tissue is a group of cells that work together to perform a specific function in an organism.

Front

What are the four main types of tissues in animals?
