The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding homeostasis, we will break down the concepts involved and analyze the statements provided. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Homeostasis**: - Homeostasis refers to the ability of a living organism to maintain stable internal conditions despite changes in the external environment. This includes regulation of temperature, pH, hydration, and other vital parameters. 2. **Analyzing the First Statement**: - The first statement asserts that "homeostasis is the capacity of a living organism to maintain its constant internal conditions." - This statement is **true** because it accurately defines homeostasis. 3. **Analyzing the Second Statement**: - The second statement claims that "the majority of homeostatic processes occur with the help of oxygen." - This statement is **false**. While oxygen is important for cellular respiration and energy production, many homeostatic processes do not directly depend on oxygen. For example, thermoregulation, osmoregulation, and hormonal control are processes that can occur independently of oxygen levels. 4. **Evaluating the Options**: - Now we need to evaluate the options based on the truth of the statements: - **Option A**: Both assertion and reason are correct, and reason is the correct explanation of assertion. (Incorrect) - **Option B**: Both assertion and reason are correct, but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion. (Incorrect) - **Option C**: Assertion is correct, but reason is wrong. (Correct) - **Option D**: Both assertion and reason are wrong. (Incorrect) 5. **Conclusion**: - The correct answer is **Option C**: Assertion is correct, but the reason is wrong.

Assertion : Living organisms show internal as well as external growth. Reason : Living organism undergo the process known as accretion.

An ideal has undergoes a polytropic given by equation PV^(n) = constant. If molar heat capacity of gas during this process is arithmetic mean of its molar heat capacity at constant pressure and constant volume then value of n is

An ideal gas has its volume doubled under (i) isothermal conditions and (ii) isobaric (constant pressure) conditions: (i) Write down expressions for the work done by the gas in the two cases and calculate their ratio. (ii) In which case does the internal energy of the gas increase?

Read the following statements and select the correct ones. i) All vertebrates are capable of osmoregulation and thermoregulation. ii) Some species have evolved the ability to regulate, but only over a limited range of environmental conditions, beyond which they simply conform. iii)99 per cent of animals and nearly all plants can- not maintain a constant internal environment. - iv)Animals arc either perfect regulators or perfect conformers.

Each organism has some degree of homeostasis, i.e., it is able to make adjustments so that its internal environment remains relatively constant despite changes in the external environment.

The relation between the internal energy (U) versus temeperature (T) for a 3 mole ideal gas in an isochoric process is given as U=alpha+betaT where alpha and beta are constant. If the specific heat capacity of the gas for above process is (beta)/(m) find the value of m.

Two identical containers contain same amount of ideal gas at identical condition. Gas is one container is expanded to 4 times of its volume at constant pressure and gas in another container is expanded to four times to its volume by isothermal process. If W_(1) and W_(2) be the respective work done, then (W_(1))/(W_(2))=(alpha)/(In2) . Find 2/3 alpha

Carbon -14 used to determine the age of organic material. The procedure is absed on the formation of C^(14) by neutron capture iin the upper atmosphere. ._(7)N^(14)+._(0)n^(1) rarr ._(6)C^(14)+._(1)H^(1) C^(14) is absorbed by living organisms during photosynthesis. The C^(14) content is constant in living organism. Once the plant or animal dies, the uptake of carbon dioxide by it ceases and the level of C^(14) in the dead being falls due to the decay, which C^(14) undergoes. ._(6)C^(14)rarr ._(7)N^(14)+beta^(c-) The half - life period of C^(14) is 5770 year. The decay constant (lambda) can be calculated by using the following formuls : lambda=(0.693)/(t_(1//2)) The comparison of the beta^(c-) activity of the dead matter with that of the carbon still in circulation enables measurement of the period of the isolation of the material from the living cycle. The method, however, ceases to be accurate over periods longer than 30000 years. The proportion of C^(14) to C^(12) in living matter is 1:10^(12) . What should be the age of fossil for meaningful determination of its age ?
