SFSU BIO 230 FINAL EXAM
QUESTIONS WITH CORRECT
VERIFIED AND WELL ANALYZED
ANSWERS GRADED A+ (2026
UPDATE)!!!
Why is homeostasis important?
to maintain a relatively stable environment, within limits.
How does the body maintain homeostasis?
through cooperation of multiple organ systems, including the
endocrine and nervous system
What is a homeostatic set point?
The level in where the temperature of the body is maintained.
Which organs are involved in water, and glucose balance?
The small intestine is involved with balancing water. The pancreas is
involved in balancing glucose.
Where do different molecules enter your body?
The Blood Stream.
How are they absorbed?
osmosis
How do they get to other regions of the body?
Through the blood stream
, What are capillaries?
any of the fine branching blood vessels that form a network between
the arterioles and venules.
What is interstitial space?
space/fluid in BETWEEN cells
How do different types of molecules (water, glucose, oxygen, sodium,
chloride) cross cell membranes and travel between different organs?
Cell membrane is semipermeable to water. Oxygen moves across cell
membranes simple diffusion, a process that requires no energy input
and is driven by differences in concentration on either side of the cell
membrane. Food is broken up through digestion and diffuse into the
blood through microvilli in the intestinal wall.
How is water regulated in your body?
Homeostasis
What is osmosis and what does it have to do with water balance?
The diffusion of water to create an equilibrium with salt.
Where does the water in your body come from?
Liquids, foods and cellular respiration.
How does your body eliminate water?
Through urinating, sweating, and feces.
Which organ systems are involved in water balance and what is their
role?
kidney regulates by controlling water concentration in blood plasma
What happened to Cynthia Lucero?
Through the consumption of too much water, she flooded her cells to
balance the equilibrium of solutes and thus caused swelling of the
cells
Is Gatorade hypotonic or hypertonic to the blood of a normal person?
