Q: What term means the adjusting of systems within a cell in order to restore balance or maintain equilibrium? Read this paragraph and choose the correct option from the provided answers: Homeostasis refers to the balance, or equilibrium, within the cell or a body. It is an organism's ability to keep a constant internal environment. Keeping a stable internal environment requires constant adjustments as conditions change inside and outside the cell. The adjusting of systems within a cell is referred to as homeostatic regulation. Because the internal and external environments of a cell are constantly changing, adjustments must be made continuously to stay at or near the normal proportions of all internal substances. This involves continual adjustments in transport of substances across the cell membrane. Homeostasis is a dynamic equilibrium rather than an unchanging state. The cellular processes discussed in the cell transport (passive and active transport) concepts all play an important role in homeostatic regulation. Choices: - systemic regulation - aftertouch regulation - gaseous regulation - homeostatic regulation A:
The answer to this question is:
homeostatic regulation
