Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
When organisms are cold, they begin to shake/shiver. What process does this represent?
A
Photosynthesis
B
Homeostasis
C
Diabetes
D
Cellular Respiration
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A Thing Called Homeostasis As part of the process of homeostasis, shivering is one way that your body tries to produce more warmth and make up for all the heat it’s losing to the cold air.

Detailed explanation-2: -Shivering is a remarkable thermogenic response in homeothermic animals, including humans, that involves rapid, repeated skeletal muscle contractions leading to heat production through the inefficiency of ATP utilization (Jubrias et al.

Detailed explanation-3: -When the hypothalamus senses that you’re too cold, it sends signals to your muscles that make your shiver and create warmth. This is called maintaining homeostasis. The hypothalamus also maintains homeostasis in lots of other ways, such as by controlling your blood pressure.

Detailed explanation-4: -Answer and Explanation: A negative feedback loop is an automatic change that occurs in the body to correct an underlying change. Therefore, shivering when cold is a negative feedback loop since it is a corrective measure to reverse the original change and bring the body system back to normal.
