Question

practice it!
which of the following is an example of how cells can maintain homeostasis?
skin cells divide, creating new skin cells to heal damage.
animal cells have a nucleus with dna in it.
bacteria, fungi, plants, and animals are made of cells.
cells make up any living thing.

Explanation:

To determine the example of cells maintaining homeostasis, we analyze each option:

• "Skin cells divide, creating new skin cells to heal damage": Homeostasis involves maintaining stable internal conditions. Healing damage (like replacing damaged skin cells) helps the body (and cells) maintain normal function, so this relates to homeostasis.
• "Animal cells have a nucleus with DNA in it": This is a structural feature of animal cells, not related to maintaining homeostasis.
• "Bacteria, fungi, plants, and animals are made of cells": This is part of cell theory (all living things are made of cells), not about homeostasis.
• "Cells make up any living thing": Also part of cell theory, not related to homeostasis.

Answer:

A. Skin cells divide, creating new skin cells to heal damage.
