multiple answer
1 point
homeostasis is the ability of living things to maintain a stable internal environment. choose the examples of living things practicing homeostasis
a deer breathing hard after escaping from a predator
an amoeba being a unicellular organism
a snowboarder wearing a windproof jacket
a chicken laying eggs
an athlete eating carbs after an event
a lizard sunning on a rock

Explanation:

• A deer breathing hard after escaping a predator: The deer's increased breathing rate helps restore oxygen levels and regulate internal processes, an example of homeostasis.
• An athlete eating carbs after an event: Eating carbs helps replenish energy stores (like glycogen) to restore internal energy balance, a homeostatic action.
• A lizard sunning on a rock: Lizards are ectotherms; sunning helps regulate body temperature, maintaining a stable internal environment (homeostasis).
• A chicken laying eggs is reproduction, not homeostasis. An amoeba being unicellular is a structural trait, not homeostasis. A snowboarder wearing a jacket is a human using external means, not a living thing's internal homeostasis.

Answer:

A. A deer breathing hard after escaping a predator
C. An athlete eating carbs after an event
F. A lizard sunning on a rock

(Note: Assuming the options are labeled as A - F with A: deer, B: amoeba, C: athlete, D: snowboarder, E: chicken, F: lizard)
