The mechanisms of homeostasis

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Homeostasis mechanisms work to maintain a relatively constant internal physiological environment despite external changes or variations. This allows the body to function properly and efficiently. The other options are not entirely accurate: B implies that all organs are working at their maximum rate, which is not always necessary or desirable. C implies that all cells work at the same metabolic rate, which is not the case. D implies that the body's metabolic rate needs to be constant regardless of the external temperature, which is not always true. E implies that all tissues need to be at the same temperature, which is not always necessary or achievable.
