Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Homeostasis is the maintenance of a relatively stable internal environment despite external fluctuations. Body temperature is an example of a controlled variable that the body regulates to stay within a normal range, demonstrating homeostasis. Positive feedback amplifies a response, catabolism refers to the breakdown of molecules into smaller units, organization refers to the arrangement of parts to form a whole, and metabolism refers to all chemical reactions that occur in the body. None of these are the best choice to describe the given scenario.
