Question

reflection questions: 1. what types of internal stimuli might trigger the need for homeostasis in an animal? the types of internal stimuli that might trigger the need for homeostasis in an animal can include... 2. give an example of homeostasis in a plant. 3. is fever beneficial or detrimental to an organism? explain your answer. fever can be good and bad. fever is used to......

Explanation:

1. Internal stimuli like changes in blood - glucose levels, oxygen levels, and body temperature can trigger the need for homeostasis in an animal as the body tries to maintain a stable internal environment.
2. An example of homeostasis in a plant is stomatal regulation. Stomata open and close to balance gas exchange and water loss. When water is scarce, stomata close to prevent excessive transpiration while still allowing for some carbon - dioxide intake for photosynthesis.
3. Fever can be beneficial as it can enhance the immune response by increasing the activity of immune cells and inhibiting the growth of some pathogens. However, it can be detrimental if it gets too high for too long as it can cause damage to cells and proteins, and disrupt normal physiological processes.

Answer:

1. Changes in blood - glucose levels, oxygen levels, body temperature.
2. Stomatal regulation to balance gas exchange and water loss.
3. It can be both beneficial (enhances immune response, inhibits some pathogens) and detrimental (can damage cells and disrupt processes if too high for too long).
