The ability of organisms to maintain a constant internal balance is called _____.

a)

Genetics

b)

Homeostasis

c)

Response to Stimuli

Evolution

2.

To maintain homeostasis, the human body has evolved feedback loops. A feedback loop is the cycle between the input (change), your body, and the output (your body’s reaction).

Positive

b)

Negative

c)

Neither A or B
