Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Homeostasis is any self-regulating process by which an organism tends to maintain stability while adjusting to conditions that are best for its survival. If homeostasis is successful, life continues; if it’s unsuccessful, it results in a disaster or death of the organism.

Detailed explanation-2: -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.

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: -Expert-Verified Answer. An example of an organism maintaining homeostasis is a man sweating while he runs. The total amount of water in the body needs to be balanced. It is a metabolic process that take place in all organisms under a specific chemical and physical environment.

Detailed explanation-5: -Homeostasis refers to the ability of an organism to maintain the internal environment of the body within limits that allow it to survive.
