, 5. AS ENERGY IS TRANSFERRED AMONG ORGANISMS, SOME ESCAPES FROM THE
ENVIRONMENT AS _____ ENERGY.
A. ELECTRICAL
B. HEAT
C. LIGHT
D. MECHANICAL
E. NUCLEAR
ANSWER: B
DUE TO THE SECOND LAW OF THERMODYNAMICS, ENERGY CONVERSIONS ARE
INEFFICIENT, AND SOME ENERGY IS ALWAYS LOST AS HEAT.
POINTS: 1

B. HOMEOSTASIS
C. DEVELOPMENT
D. PHYSIOLOGY
E. THERMOREGULATION
ANSWER: B
HOMEOSTASIS IS THE REGULATION OF INTERNAL CONDITIONS TO MAINTAIN STABILITY
NECESSARY FOR SURVIVAL, DESPITE EXTERNAL CHANGES.
