Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The maintenance of homeostasis in animals is MOST directly related to which?
A
recombination of chromosomes during meiosis
B
percentage of protein molecules in the organism
C
growth and development of the organism
D
use and production of energy
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The hypothalamus in the brain is particularly important for maintaining homeostasis because it controls the actions of the medulla oblongata (involuntary functions), the autonomic nervous system (smooth muscle and glands), and the pituitary gland (hormone excretion).

Detailed explanation-2: -They are adapted to the changes they face in their lifetime through the control system called osmoregulation. Whenever an imbalance occurs, osmoregulation restores the balance by negative feedback. This control system detects the changes and initiates changes to maintain a constant concentration of water in the body.

Detailed explanation-3: -Homeostasis is maintained by the nervous and endocrine systems. Negative feedback is a response to a stimulus that keeps a variable close to a set value.

Detailed explanation-4: -Key points. Many animals regulate their body temperature through behavior, such as seeking sun or shade or huddling together for warmth. Endotherms can alter metabolic heat production to maintain body temperature using both shivering and non-shivering thermogenesis.
