What does the term “steady state” refer to with respect to the process of homeostasis?
A
balanced external environment
B
balanced internal environment
C
changing external environment
D
changing internal environment
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Homeostasis is the maintenance of a constant or unchanging “normal” internal environment during unstressed conditions. Steady state is also defined as a constant internal environment, but this does not necessarily mean that the internal environment is at rest and normal.

Detailed explanation-2: -Listen to pronunciation. (HOH-mee-oh-STAY-sis) A state of balance among all the body systems needed for the body to survive and function correctly.

Detailed explanation-3: -The tendency to maintain a stable, relatively constant internal environment is called homeostasis. The body maintains homeostasis for many factors in addition to temperature. For instance, the concentration of various ions in your blood must be kept steady, along with pH and the concentration of glucose.

Detailed explanation-4: -Homeostasis is the maintenance of a stable internal environment. Homeostasis is a term coined to describe the physical and chemical parameters that an organism must maintain to allow proper functioning of its component cells, tissues, organs, and organ systems.

Detailed explanation-5: -A steady state flow process requires conditions at all points in an apparatus remain constant as time changes. There must be no accumulation of mass or energy over the time period of interest. The same mass flow rate will remain constant in the flow path through each element of the system.
