Homeostasis Virtual Lab

Failure to maintain homeostasis could result in:

• lack of internal balance

• eventual death

• difficulty carrying on metabolism 

• all three

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

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
