c. found only in birds and mammals. 
d. all of the above

Accepted Answer

Hey everyone, let's take a look at this question Together, homeostasis is the most essential requirement of the body of a living organism, which of the following mechanisms plays a major role in maintaining homeostasis. Let's recall what we know about different mechanisms as well as what we know about homeostasis. And we know that when we're talking about homeostasis, we're talking about internal equilibrium, meaning we're always at that base point. So that middle point, which is the state of normalcy. And so when we're talking about maintaining homeostasis, we're talking about that return to normal. And so we're trying to figure out which mechanism listed here has to do with returning back to that normal state. And the best option here is answer Choice B. Negative feedback mechanism. Because we know that when we're dealing with negative feedback, it always has to do with its ability to reverse a change, the ability to reverse a change which in this case when there's a change made to our body, we want to revert back to that internal equilibrium or homeostasis and a negative feedback mechanism is the best mechanism for maintaining homeostasis within the body. So that makes answer Choice B Our best option, I hope you found this video to be helpful. Thank you and goodbye
