Question

Define homeostasis

Answer 1

Homeostasis, any self-regulating process by which biological systems tend to maintain stability while adjusting to conditions that are optimal for survival. If homeostasis is successful, life continues; if unsuccessful, disaster or death ensues. The stability attained is actually a dynamic equilibrium , in which continuous change occurs yet relatively uniform conditions prevail.

OR

Homeostasis is the tendency to resist change in order to maintain a stable, relatively constant internal environment.
