Question

practice it! which of the following is an example of how cells can maintain homeostasis? skin cells divide, creating new skin cells to heal damage. animal cells have a nucleus with dna in it. bacteria, fungi, plants, and animals are made of cells. cells make up any living thing.

Explanation:

To determine the example of cells maintaining homeostasis, we analyze each option:

• Option 1: Skin cells dividing to heal damage helps restore the skin's normal state, which is part of maintaining internal stability (homeostasis) by repairing tissue.
• Option 2: Describes a cell structure (nucleus with DNA) – not related to maintaining homeostasis.
• Option 3: States that various organisms are made of cells – this is about cell theory, not homeostasis.
• Option 4: Says cells make up living things – also part of cell theory, not homeostasis.

Answer:

A. Skin cells divide, creating new skin cells to heal damage.
