Jim spent a hot summer day playing soccer with his friends. he was sweating throughout the day, but he stopped sweating once he went back to his air-conditioned room. which characteristic of life is demonstrated by this situation?
acquiring energy
homeostasis
reproduction
respiration

The correct answer is homeostasis.

When Jim spent  a hot summer day playing soccer with his friends. His body was sweating to maintain the temperature of the body by loosing water to cool down the body. As soon as he went in a cool room his body automatically cooled down so his body stopped sweating in the air conditioned room.

This is a natural mechanism of the body to maintain the temperature of the body called as homeostasis.

emerging idea only occurs as a raw idea that could appear out of nowhere. meanwhile, to reach scientific consensus , that idea must be structured and tested over and over again through various experiments. the scientific consensus transforms the raw idea into idea that is more reliable through the process of scientific elimination.
