Question

It can be said that metabolism and homeostasis are related. Why can you not achieve homeostasis without metabolism?

A. Metabolism is all chemical reactions in a body therefore building and breaking down molecules will allow for the correct balance of conditions on the body which is homeostasis.

B. Metabolism is the constant set of conditions in the body that is achieved by the building and breaking down of molecules during homeostasis.

C. Homeostasis and metabolism do not have a relationship. One does not have an effect on the other.

Answer 1

your answer is actually A

metabolism is ALL of the chemical Reactions in you body. You need metabolism to break things down so then your body can maintain homeostasis. :)

Answer 2

The right answer is A.

Metabolic homeostasis is provided by a set of interactions between the central nervous system (CNS) and peripheral tissues. The CNS controls the periphery by regulating the fraction of energy that enters the body (caloric intake) and that which emerges from it.

To perform this role, the CNS receives signals from peripheral organs and provides information on peripheral metabolism, as well as the extent of the reserves available to the body.
