Homeostasis is ability for organisms to maintain stable internal conditions. Take people for example. People have to maintain a temperature of 98.6o F. If the temperature gets too high or low we won't function properly and can even die. Therefore it is essential to maintain that normal body temperature.

∙ 13y agoHomeostasis is the property of a system, either open or closed, that regulates its internal environment and tends to maintain a stable, constant condition. Most homeostatic regulation is controlled by the release of hormones into the bloodstream. However, other regulatory processes rely on simple diffusion to maintain a balance.
Homeostatic regulation also extends far beyond the control of temperature. All animals also regulate their blood glucose, as well as the concentration of their blood.

Which term refers to the body's ability to keep internal conditions the same even though conditions in the environment may change?
Regulatory homeostasis
What is the ability of an organism to maintain a stable internal environment called?
The ability of an organism to maintain internal stability is known as homeostasis.
The regulation of food or water levels inside an organisms cells for example?
homeostasis :)
Does fire have homeostasis?
No. Maintaining homeostasis is a characteristic of living things.
What does relative constancy of the body refers to?
It is called homeostasis.
Describe how molecules such as carbohydrates and lipids are important in homeostasis?
carbohydrates are a key source of energy while lipids are non polar or mostly insolube in water so both of them play an important goal in homeostasis
What is the term that means a steady state or state of equilibrium in the body?
Homeostasis
Which term refers to the body's ability to keep internal conditions the same even though conditions in the environment may change?
Regulatory homeostasis
What is carbohydrate homeostasis?
effects of homeostasis?
Is homeostasis an adjective or verb?
Neither. Homeostasis is a noun. Homeostatic is the adjective associated with homeostasis.
What is the role of the feedback in a system?
The role is to monitor the input, process, and output so that the system can adjust itself to meet the goal.
What is the ability of an organism to maintain a stable internal environment called?
The ability of an organism to maintain internal stability is known as homeostasis.
Does homeostasis affect body temperature?
The stabilization of body temperature is homeostasis. What affects homeostasis is the interaction of the hypothalamus and hormones, such as prostaglandin; an indirect marker for inflammation. Homeostasis is constant/stable. The hypothalamus ensures body temperature homeostasis.
What rhymes with homeostasis?
The word nomeostasis rhymes with homeostasis.
What if homeostasis is not maintained?
if homeostasis is not maintained, the cell explodes.
The regulation of food or water levels inside an organisms cells for example?
homeostasis :)
Does fire have homeostasis?
No. Maintaining homeostasis is a characteristic of living things.
