Detailed explanation-1: -Homeostasis is the tendency to resist change in order to maintain a stable, relatively constant internal environment. Homeostasis typically involves negative feedback loops that counteract changes of various properties from their target values, known as set points.

Detailed explanation-2: -The characteristic of life that best describes the process of homeostasis is that living things adapt to their environment. Homeostasis is a balance, and all living things have a narrow range of conditions they need to maintain, such as temperature, pH, sugar levels, water, salt and more.

Detailed explanation-3: -Homeostasis is generally maintained by a negative feedback loop that includes a stimulus, sensor, control centre, and effector . Negative feedback serves to reduce an excessive response and to keep a variable within the normal range.
