Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
A balance that an organism maintains by regulating what goes into and out of the cell.
A
Hypertonic
B
Homeostasis
C
Plasmolysis
D
Hypotonic
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Biological homeostasis is the ability to maintain relative stability and function as changes occur in the internal or external environment. Organisms are viable under a relatively narrow set of conditions.

Detailed explanation-2: -Cell membranes enable organisms to maintain homeostasis by regulating the materials that may enter or leave a cell. Some materials easily cross the cell membrane without the input of energy; other materials require energy input in order to cross through the cell membrane.

Detailed explanation-3: -A state of balance among all the body systems needed for the body to survive and function correctly.

Detailed explanation-4: -The main organelle responsible for maintaining homeostasis is the cell membrane. Why is the cell membrane so important for maintaining homeostasis? The cell membrane, also known as the plasma membrane, plays an important role in homeostasis via the regulation of the passage of materials into and out of the cell.

Detailed explanation-5: -Some organism are able to maintain homeostasis by physiological (sometimes behavioural also) means which ensure constant body temperature, constant osmotic concentration, etc, are called regulators.
