Homeostasis is the process of keeping the proper conditions inside the body, no matter what is happening outside the body. Which body system maintains homeostasis by coordinating the actions of the other systems?

• excretory system

• nervous system

• circulatory system

• musculoskeletal system

Identify basic examples of homeostasis.

• Balanced rate of absorbing and using food + oxygen

• Steady regulation of heart rate and body temperature

• Movement of water molecules through a cell membrane

The cell membrane of the red blood cell will allow water, oxygen, carbon dioxide, and glucose to pass through. Because other substances are blocked from entering, this membrane is called

• Perforated

• Semi-permeable

• Non-conductive

• Permeable

Which is an example of osmosis?

• potassium ions moving in and out of an animal cell

• carbon dioxide moving into the leaf of a plant cell

• oxygen moving into the bloodstream from the lungs

• water moving into the root cells of a plant

When red blood cells are placed in distilled water, the cells swell as water molecules enter them. By what process do water molecules move into the cells?

• Facilitated Diffusion

• Active Transport

• Endocytosis

• Osmosis
