Define homeostasis and give an easy to understand example

The phlogiston theory in the 17th century attempted to explain burning. the theory stated that combustable objects contained a material called phlogiston, a substance without mass, color, odor, etc. after objects burned, the objects were dephlogistonated and were then in their true form. the phlogiston theory was accepted until the 18th century, when lavoisier proved that combustion requires a gas that has mass. phlogiston is considered a) to be scientific knowledge b) not to be scientific knowledge c) to be proven by scientific method d) to be accepted in the modern scientific community

In eukaryotes, genetic information is passed to the next generation by processes that include mitosis or meiosis. which of the explanations identifies the correct process and supports the claim that heritable information is passed from one generation to another? a. mitosis, followed by cytokinesis, produces daughter cells that are genetically different from the parent cell, thus insuring variation within the population. b. during mitosis, dna replication occurs twice within the cell cycle to insure a full set of chromosomes within each of the daughter cells produced. c. in asexual reproduction, a single individual is the sole parent and passes copies of its genes to its offspring without the fusion of gametes. d. single-celled organisms can fuse their cells, reproducing asexually through mitosis to form new cells that are not identical to the parent cell.

Molecular models of two different substances are shown below. in the molecule on the left, the oxygen atom pulls on electrons more strongly than the hydrogen atoms. in the molecule on the right, the two oxygen atoms pull on the shared electrons with the same strength. water molecule, h,o oxygen molecule, oz when the two substances are put in the same container, they do not attract each other. why does this happen? a. they both contain oxygen. b. one is polar and one is nonpolar. c . they are both polar. d. they contain different elements.
