Homeostasis is the ability of an organism or system to maintain a stable internal environment despite changes in the external environment. The term was coined by Walter Bradford Cannon in 1930 and comes from the Greek words "homeo," meaning "similar," and "stasis," meaning "standing still."
Homeostasis applies to the body's physiological processes, such as metabolism, temperature regulation, fluid balance, and hormone secretion. These processes involve a series of feedback mechanisms that sense changes in the body and trigger responses to restore balance. For example, when the body's temperature rises above a certain level, thermoreceptors in the skin and hypothalamus signal the sweat glands to produce sweat and the blood vessels to dilate, which helps to dissipate heat and bring down the temperature.
Homeostasis also applies to psychological processes, such as mood, stress, and arousal. These processes involve the brain's regulatory systems, such as the limbic system, the autonomic nervous system, and the endocrine system. These systems work in tandem to respond to internal and external stimuli, and regulate emotions, instinctual drives, and cognitive processes.
The concept of homeostasis is important in understanding health and disease. When homeostasis is disrupted, the body or mind may experience dysfunction, disease, or pathology. For example, chronic stress can lead to an overactive HPA axis and the release of cortisol, which can suppress the immune system and lead to inflammation and disease. Diabetes is also a condition where the body's homeostasis is disrupted, resulting in high blood glucose levels and impaired glucose metabolism.

Explanation:
What are the 2 types of fatty acids (and explain what each means, and an example)?
Answer:
saturated and unsaturated fatty acids
Explanation:
Saturated fats are a type of fat in which the fatty acid chains have all or predominantly single bonds.Rich sources of dietary saturated fatty acids include butter fat, meat fat, and tropical oils.
An unsaturated fat is a fat or fatty acid in which there is one or more double bond in the fatty acid chain. these include avocados, olive oil, fatty fish and nuts or seeds.
Explain how brassinosteroids are synthesised, perceived and promote plant growth and development. Please give named examples and critical analysis to support your answer
Answer:
Brassinosteroids are synthesized from phytosterols and they promote plant growth and development by modulating cellular processes (e.g, cell division, elongation, photomorphogenesis, responses to environmental stimuli, etc).
Explanation:
Brassinosteroids are phytohormones similar to steroid hormones. Phytosterols include sitosterol, campesterol, and stigmasterol, i.e., lipid (cholesterol) molecules that form the cell membranes. These polyhydroxylated steroidal phytohormones play a wide range of cellular roles during plant growth, development and immunity. Examples of brassinosteroid functions include plant development, xylem differentiation, responses to biotic/abiotic stresses, reproduction, etc. For example, campesterol, which is a precursor of brassinosteroid hormones, is an integral membrane component that functions during plant embryogenesis by regulating the permeability of cell membranes and by altering membrane-associated proteins, as well as signal transduction pathways.

from a particular location on earth, why can we see many more total eclipses of the moon that the total eclipses of the sun?
Answer:
Hiii! I'm here to help!
Explanation:
The Moon is always in the same place in our sky while the Sun moves around the sky. The Moon is much bigger in the sky than the Sun. The line-up of the Earth Moon and Sun needed for a lunar eclipse happens many many times more often than what is needed for a solar eclipse. A total lunar eclipse is visible over a much larger part of the Earth's surface than a total solar eclipse.

Cells can come from nonliving materials.
Frogs can come from mud.
Living things can only come from living things.
Cells come from pre-existing cells.
Answer:
Living things can only come from living things.
Cells come from pre-existing cells.
Explanation:
Rudolf Virchow a german physicist, biologist and many more, In 1855 Vproposed that cells come from pre-existing based on his observations in exact words 'Omnis cellula e cellula', which translates into all cells arise from pre-existing cells.
He also said the living things come from living things and do not arise from nonliving things or matter. His discoveries made possible the cell theory
What are the Complementary DNA base pairs: ATTGGCCTAGC *
Answer:
taaccggatcg
Explanation:
Describe how transposable elements create mutations within an organism and how transposable elements facilitate chromosomal rearrangements.
Answer:
Transposable elements are discrete segments of DNA that can be excised and reintegrated to another site in the genome, these can inactivate the gene in which they reside, cause chromosome breaks, and / or transpose to a new location within the genome.
Explanation:
Transposable elements are fragments of DNA that have the ability to jump from one part of the genome to another. While most of the DNA is always in the same place surrounded by the same neighboring pieces of DNA, mobile elements move from one place to another causing many changes or mutations. When a transposon moves through the genome, it can insert into a vital gene, disrupting its function, or into a location near vital genes, causing erroneous activation or inactivation.On the other hand, there can be chromosomal rearrangements due to transposons of the same family with complementary sequences that are separated in the genome and that by sequence homology match. This can lead to ectopic recombination. Large-scale rearrangements induced by mobile elements are considered a particular class of recombination events that influence genomic plasticity.

The bacteria we are growing contain both chromosomal DNA and plasmid DNA. Both are circular, but they are different. In 3-5 sentences, discuss at least 3 differences between the chromosomal DNA and plasmid DNA found in our bacterial cells.
Answer:
Please find the explanation of the differences between chromosomal DNA and plasmid DNA below
Explanation:
As stated in this question, a bacteria cell contains both chromosomal or genomic DNA and an extra chromosomal DNA called PLASMID. They are both circular in shape but are different from one another in the following ways:
- Chromosomal DNA is larger in appearance than the plasmid DNA, hence, they differ in terms of size.
- Chromosomal DNA encodes all the information in the genome of the bacterial cell necessary for their growth and development while plasmid DNA encodes few additional beneficial characteristics such as antibiotic resistance, virulence etc.
- Chromosomal DNA is wrapped around histone proteins to form the chromosome structure but plasmid DNA is naked and not wrapped around histone proteins.
A plasmid that encodes resistance to ampicillin and tetracycline is digested with the restriction enzyme PstI, which cuts the plasmid at a single site in the ampicillin-resistance gene. The DNA is then annealed with a PstI digest of human DNA, ligated, and used to transform E. coli cells. (a) What antibiotic would you put in an agar plate to ensure that the cells of a bacterial colony contain the plasmid
Answer:
tetracycline
Explanation:
When the DNA insert is ligated in Pstl site, the ampicillin gene is disrupted while tetracycline gene is still intact.
- If the bacterial colony is growth in a medium with only ampicillin, only the cells that contains the plasmid with the insert will grow.
- If the bacterial colony is growth in a medium with only tetracycline, the cells which have incorporated the plasmid will survive. We cannot distinguish between cells with plasmid + insert and plasmid alone.
- If the bacterial colony is growth in a plate with ampicillin + tetracyclin, only the cells with the plasmid without the insert will grow.
Therefore, to ensure that the cells of a bacterial colony contains the plasmid, they have to be seeded in a plate with tetracycline.
