,Question A person is declared to be dead upon the irreversible cessation of spontaneous body
functions: brain activity, or blood circulation and respiration. However, only about 1%
of a person’s cells have to die in order for all of these things to happen. How can
someone be dead when 99% of his or her cells are still alive?
Answer A person can be considered dead with only a small fraction of their cells being dead as
those cells are responsible for coordinating the action of the all the other cells, and
ultimately maintaining the homeostasis of the organism as a whole.

Question About 12 to 24 hours after the last meal, a person's blood sugar level normally varies
from 60 to 90 mg per 100 ml of blood, although it may rise to 130 mg per 100 ml after
meals high in carbohydrates. That the blood sugar level is maintained within a fairly
narrow range, despite uneven intake of sugar, is due to the bodily process called:
Answer a.
adaptation
b.
homeostasis
c.
inheritance
