The answer is D; homeostasis allows the maintenance and regulation of stability and constancy that is needed to properly function. It is found in cells, tissues and organisms,
Overproduction - An organism gives birth to too many children
Genetic Variation - The offspring each have genetic differences in appearance, behavior, etc
Struggle to Survive - Offspring must fight in order to gain essential resources (food, water, mates, etc)
Successful Reproduction - Organism produces offspring with beneficial adaptations that aid in survival
Answer and explanation:
Epinephrine and norepinephrine are two hormones that are released from the adrenal medulla when the body is under stress (like during exercise, for example) as a part of the sympathetic response.
These hormones have many functions and they all work together to prepare the individual for a fight or flight response -<em> like increasing heart rate and producing bronchodilatation</em>. One of these functions is the rise of glucose levels in blood which is important for this substance to reach several tissues, like the skeletal muscle. The skeletal muscle will make use of this glucose to produce ATP and generate the required energy for muscle contraction through a process called glycolysis, which is key for the fight or flight response mentioned above.
When we exercise, glucose levels rise thanks to these hormones so the skeletal muscle can have enough energy to contract and move as we want. If the exercise is too intense or prolongued, glucose levels will drop and other fuels will be needed to sustain this activity, like stored glycogen and fat.
