Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What is the relatively constant internal physical and chemical conditions of a cell or organism known as?
A
homeostasis
B
cell specialization
C
level of organization
D
cellular communication
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -The Cell as an Organism Unicellular organisms must maintain homeostasis-relatively constant internal physical and chemical conditions. To maintain homeostasis, unicellular organisms grow, respond to the environment, transform energy, and reproduce.

Detailed explanation-3: -The best-known homeostatic mechanisms in humans and other mammals are regulators that keep the composition of the extracellular fluid (or the “internal environment") constant, especially with regard to the temperature, pH, osmolality, and the concentrations of sodium, potassium, glucose, carbon dioxide, and oxygen.

Detailed explanation-4: -Homeostasis is the regulation of the internal conditions within cells and whole organisms such as temperature, water, and sugar levels. This keeps cells and organisms functioning at optimal levels even when challenged by internal and external changes.

Detailed explanation-5: -A state of balance among all the body systems needed for the body to survive and function correctly.
