The tendency of an organism to maintain a stable internal environment or “steady state” is called
A
homeostasis
B
regulation
C
metabolism
D
excretion
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Homeostasis has become the central unifying concept of physiology and is defined as a self-regulating process by which an organism can maintain internal stability while adjusting to changing external conditions.

Detailed explanation-2: -Homeostasis (homeo : same/steady, stasis : state) is a phenomenon in which the body regulates its functions to keep the internal conditions as stable as possible. Homeostasis is necessary because the body cells need to have suitable conditions. around them for proper functioning.

Detailed explanation-3: -In homeostasis, body levels of acid, blood pressure, blood sugar, electrolytes, energy, hormones, oxygen, proteins, and temperature are constantly adjusted to respond to changes inside and outside the body, to keep them at a normal level.

Detailed explanation-4: -Homeostasis is the ability to maintain a relatively stable internal state that persists despite changes in the world outside. All living organisms, from plants to puppies to people, must regulate their internal environment to process energy and ultimately survive.

Detailed explanation-5: -Homeostasis is maintained by a series of control mechanisms functioning at the organ, tissue or cellular level. These control mechanisms include substrate supply, activation or inhibition of individual enzymes and receptors, synthesis and degradation of enzymes, and compartmentalization.
