Question

living things like to maintain a certain range (temperature, ph, salinity, glucose levels, etc.) upon response to stimuli, an organisms body will do what is required to maintain that range (________). this is similar to a thermostat maintaining a temperature range. to hot, the a/c comes on. to cold, the heat comes on. this balance creates what is referred to as a feedback loop, or ________________. this is when something changes and thusly sends a signal to the organism to correct it. i.e. high/low blood sugar, high/low temp. think about it... what happens when we shiver? what happens when we sweat? the hypothalamus and liver are important to homeostasis. the hypothalamus sends ______ to sweat or shiver. the liver converts ______ to be expelled from the body. body temperature highlighted. body temperature control requires 3 things. a ______ of heat. a way to conserve ______. a method of ______ heat. ectotherms regulate body temperature mostly through sources of heat ________ their bodies. endotherms have high metabolic rates that heat.

Explanation:

Living organisms maintain internal stability (homeostasis) by responding to stimuli. The hypothalamus sends signals for sweating or shivering. The liver converts glycogen to glucose for expulsion. Body - temperature control needs a source of heat, a way to conserve heat, and a method of dissipating heat. Ectotherms use external heat sources and endotherms have high metabolic rates for heat production.

Answer:

• Upon response to stimuli, an organism's body will do what is required to maintain that range (homeostasis).
• This balance creates what is referred to as a feedback loop, or negative feedback.
• The hypothalamus sends signals to sweat or shiver.
• The liver converts glycogen to be expelled from the body.
• Body Temperature control requires 3 things: A source of heat, A way to conserve heat, A method of dissipating heat.
• Ectotherms regulate body temperature mostly through sources of heat outside their bodies.
• Endotherms have high metabolic rates that produce heat.
