You are downhill skiing, enjoying the thrill and
the rush of icy cold air. You ski directly off the
slope to the balcony of your condominium. You
throw off your gear and within a minute are
comfortably soaking in your hot tub. From the
slope to the tub, you move from a 10-degree
environment to a 120-degree environment.
Select the
statement that best explains how the change from slope
to tub affects the temperature of the cells in your liver?
It does not have an effect on the temperature of the liver
cells. The body works very hard to maintain the internal
environment in a very stable condition
The liver cells warm to close to the hot tub temperature,
The body quickly responds to external stimuli matching the
environmental temperature.
The liver cells initially warm but then over time again cool,
followed by a cycle of warming and cooling. The body
reflects the changing "A cycle "B cycle reproductive
patterns found in eukaryotic liver cells,
The liver cells remain cold reflecting the long exposure to
frigid environmental temperatures experienced during
skiing. The body resists quick changes in temperature due
to the high heat of vaporization of its mostly water content
