Answer 1

The example that shows an organism that cannot reach homeostasis through internal changes is:

A lizard is cold, and it moves to a sunny rock to warm up.

This is because the lizard is using external environmental factors (the sunny rock) to regulate its body temperature, rather than relying solely on internal physiological processes. Lizards are ectothermic and depend on external sources of heat to maintain their body temperature, unlike the other examples where internal mechanisms are utilized.
