Question

1. when an animal gets overheated, homeostasis will cause the animal to sweat and pant in an effort to maintain internal stability. which situation shows a similar example of homeostasis in cells? a cell is invaded by a virus. water enters a cell through the cell membrane because the cell is dehydrated. a cell goes through mitosis, producing a new cell. a cells nucleus sends signals throughout the cell in order to produce protein.

Explanation:

Homeostasis is the maintenance of internal stability. When water enters a cell to balance dehydration, it's an example of the cell's attempt to maintain internal stability, similar to an animal sweating to cool down when over - heated. The other options are not related to maintaining internal stability in the same way.

Answer:

Water enters a cell through the cell membrane because the cell is dehydrated.
