Homeostasis Refers To

Question

Homeostasis refers to
A) changing external conditions.
B) stable external conditions.
C) changing internal conditions.
D) maintaining internal conditions.
E) all of the above.

Accepted Answer

Homeostasis refers to the maintenance of stable internal conditions within an organism despite changes in the external environment. Therefore, the correct choice is maintaining internal conditions (option D). The other choices - changing external conditions, stable external conditions, changing internal conditions, and all of the above - are not accurate definitions of homeostasis.
