30. which of the following describes homeostasis?

a. a cat chases a ball of string.
b. a dog barks at a television set.
c. a child inherits brown hair color.
d. a boy's heart rate increases when running.
e. an adult disciplines a child for incorrect behavior

The answer is D. A boy’s heart rate increases when running. Why? First of all homeostasis is all about balance in one’s body. So you can’t immediately cross out answer choices: a, b , and e. Those don’t talk about keeping balance within someone or an organisms body. And you can also immediately eliminate answer choice C because that answer choice is talking about inheritance which coincides with genetics. Lastly the heart rate increase to cool the boy’s body temperature. It’s trying to reach the equilibrium of the body temperature since it’s no longer at balance since he started running. That’s why he starts to sweat (I know that it doesn’t mention that but you should kind of get that since he’s running). Swear cools down your body.

thinking it would be physical characteristics

correct answer: false

while planning water activities, it is very important to consider the weather, because if we do not plan and are going for a surf, then it might be that the hurricane came and drown us or may carry us to long distance from where we can not come back. there are many reasons to take information about the weather when we are planning any water activities.

hence, the correct answer would be false.
