Question

question 1 (1 point)
what is homeostasis?
the process in which internal conditions are kept within a tolerable range
the process in which the internal conditions are kept constant
the process in which the body responds to the external environment
the process in which the internal temperature is kept constant
question 2 (1 point)
which of the following is an example of homeostasis?
diabetes
hyperventilation
fevers
sweating

Explanation:

For Question 1: Homeostasis is the maintenance of internal conditions within a tolerable range. It's not about keeping conditions completely constant (as there can be slight variations within the range). Responding to the external environment is a broader concept, and just keeping internal temperature constant is too narrow (homeostasis applies to multiple internal factors like pH, glucose levels etc.).
For Question 2: Sweating is a homeostatic mechanism. When body temperature rises, sweating helps cool the body down (evaporative cooling) to bring the temperature back within the normal range. Diabetes is a disorder (impaired glucose homeostasis). Hyperventilation can be a response to various factors (like anxiety, acid - base imbalance) but is not a normal homeostatic process in the same sense as sweating. Fevers are an elevated body temperature (often due to an immune response to infection) and are a deviation from normal homeostasis (though it can have some beneficial effects in fighting infection, it's not a homeostatic mechanism to maintain normal internal conditions).

Answer:

Question 1: the process in which internal conditions are kept within a tolerable range
Question 2: sweating
