A cell must maintain homeostasis in order to function properly. Cells use osmosis, diffusion, passive transport, and active transport in order to maintain homeostasis. If a cell cannot maintain homeostasis, it will die.

∙ 15y agoIndividual cells do not actually contribute to homeostasis. Homeostasis refers to the internal environment, and that is the interstitial fluid around each cell. So homeostasis has more to do with what is outside the cells than what is inside the cells themselves. The main organ of homeostasis are the kidneys because they control the pH level and mineral level of blood, and that controls what is in the interstitial fluid. The other controller of homeostasis is they hypothalamus. It is a gland in the brain that secretes hormones that helps regulate all the other glands, which combined, control the metabolic processes in the body that contribute to the maintenance of homeostasis.

As a characteristic of all living things Homeostasis relates most directly to what biological theme?
It is eithera. interacting systemsb. stabilityc. evolutionb.scale and structureI think its b. Stability because homeostasis has to do with maintaing or stability but that's just my guess
Homeostasis is necessary at the level of a single cell?
Yes. Homeostasis keeps every thing in balance: you blood glucose level, your blood pressure, your body body temperature and more.
How do single cell organisms maintain homeostasis?
by growing, responding to the enviorment, transforming energy,and reproducing and by going closeer to the little bug in them it is the mirical of life
What role does p53 have in controlling cell division?
Cell division is regulated by the p53 gene and relates to cancer because Cancer is caused by uncontrolled cell divison
What are two types of monerans?
The term Monera relates to a group of organisms that include Archaea and Bacteria. These organisms have single cells and are without a nucleus inside. Their DNA is also loosely organized. This type of cell is known as a prokaryotic cell.
What if homeostasis is not maintained?
if homeostasis is not maintained, the cell explodes.
If a cell is in balance with its environment then?
the cell is homeostasis
What part of the cell is most important in maintaining homeostasis?
The cell membrane is the most important in maintaining homeostasis. This is because the cell membrane controls what goes in and out of the cell.
What cell helps maintain homeostasis?
the cell membrane :)
Is the environment outside the cell is hypertonic how will the cell maintain homeostasis?
Part of the cell that functions to maintain homeostasis relative to the cell's passage of large molecules and particles to an area outside the cell.
If the environment outside the cell is hypertonic how will the cell maintain homeostasis?
Part of the cell that functions to maintain homeostasis relative to the cell's passage of large molecules and particles to an area outside the cell.
How will the cell maintain homeostasis if the environment outside a cell is hypertonic?
Part of the cell that functions to maintain homeostasis relative to the cell's passage of large molecules and particles to an area outside the cell.
If the environment outside a cell if hypertonic how will the cell maintain homeostasis?
Part of the cell that functions to maintain homeostasis relative to the cell's passage of large molecules and particles to an area outside the cell.
How will the cell maintain homeostasis if it is hypertonic?
Part of the cell that functions to maintain homeostasis relative to the cell's passage of large molecules and particles to an area outside the cell.
What properties of cells allows them to maintain homeostasis?
The cell membrane, a complicated part of the cell maintains homeostasis. There is a lot of chemistry to it and the way that the membrane is made up of maintains homeostasis.
Which structure of a cell helps in maintaining homeostasis by moving things into or out of a cell?
The cell membrane controls what substances go in and out of the cell. It is basically the most important structure when talking about homeostasis.
What maintains homeostasis?
The cell membrane
