Explanation:
Under certain external conditions, a person will perspire a great deal. For which internal condition does this response primarily provide homeostasis?
Answer:
Abnormally high temperature
Explanation:
Sweating or perspiration is a homeostatic response to abnormally high body temperature. Evaporation of the sweat causes cooling of the body and this causes the temperature of the body to return back to normal.
When the setpoint temperature of the body is breached by being too high, the negative feedback mechanism kicks-in, and the sweat glands of the skin becomes activated. The body sweats, and the evaporation of the sweat from the surface of the skin causes cooling and a return back to the setpoint.

What are the three main classifications that describe galaxies? By what one visible
characteristic do scientists categorize galaxies?
Answer:
Spiral Galaxies, Elliptical Galaxies & Irregular Galaxies
Explanation:
How did galaxies originate? Astronomers believe that after the big bang, the explosion which began the universe 10 billion to 20 billion years ago, gravity began to compress masses of free-floating gas. Two main theories, bottom-up and top-down, explain what happened next. According to bottom-up theories, clusters began to form and assembled together into the larger units we know as galaxies. Top-down theories suggest that galaxies formed first, and the stars and other objects within them were subsequently produced. They categorized different galaxies to maintain their tests from the other galaxies.

Gravitational force multiple choice
Answer:
Option B. The force would be quartered (factor of 1/4).
Explanation:
The gravitational force between two objects can be expressed with the equation:
By analyzing the equation, we can see that if we multiply both m1 and m2 by 1/2, the resulting new F would be lower by a factor of 1/4 (as 1/2 times 1/2 equals 1/4).
Thus the correct answer is option B.
