• eventual death

• difficulty carrying on metabolism 

• all three

Which of the following is not regulated by homeostasis?

• body temperature

• blood sugar

• blood pH

• body movements

Homeostasis

• allows for a wildly fluctuating internal environment

• is impossible in vertebrates

• is the maintenance of a relatively stable internal environment and often incorporates a form of feedback regulation

• is the maintenance of a relatively stable external environment and often incorporates a form of feedback regulation

The maintenance of an organism’s internal environment is called:

• compensating

• homeostasis

• balancing

• routine

The tendency of an organism to maintain a balanced state in order to stay healthy.

• Stimuli

• Response

• Tropism

• Homestasis

Things in the human body that need to stay the same

• Glucose

• Temperature

• Blood Pressure

• All of the above

What is the point of a feedback loop?

• To provide the body with more energy

• To provide the body with more food

• To make sure the conditions in the body are always changing

• To make sure the conditions in the body remain stable

According to the feedback loop, what does high blood sugar promote?

• Insulin Release

• Glucagon Release

• Insulin Uptake

• Glycogen Uptake

The group of organisms that use the process of homeostasis includes

• mammals, only

• animals, only

• plants and animals

• all living things

If the environment gets cold, we will often shiver in order to:

• keep body temperature the same as the external temperature

• decrease body temperature

• increase body temperature

• regulate blood pressure
