Body Organization and Homeostasis

Question 8 • AISD-Biology B CR (25-26)

Which is an example of how the body maintains homeostasis?

Answer
A
by increasing thirst when cells are low on water
B
by decreasing thirst when cells are low on water
C
by shivering when it is hot
D
by sweating when it is cold

Explanation

When the body’s cells have too little water, the body increases thirst so you drink and restore fluid balance. This is an example of maintaining homeostasis, or keeping internal conditions stable. Decreasing thirst would not help with low water, and shivering and sweating are responses to cold and heat, respectively.
