State how attitude affect behavior?

Behavior, narrowly defined, is an observable action or set of actions. An attitude is an unobservable and consistent style of evaluation, that is, cognition. According to social psychology, cognition has a causal influence on behavior. For example, if one evaluates another person as pleasant rather than unpleasant, then they will display approach rather than avoidance behaviors. In this case, there is a cause-and-effect link between the attitude and the behavior. It's an empirical question whether the causal influence is bi-directional. I think it depends on the psychological status of an attitude, and whether or not a behavior can take place without evaluation. If you consider perception to be an act of evaluation then it seems unlikely that behavior leads to a change in attitude. It seems more probable that behaviors, resulting from prior cognitions, are the stimulus for novel evaluations, and thus novel behaviors. Now, if the behavior in question has consequences, then it can affect your attitude about that behavior. If the behavior is integral to your life, and it has consequences, then it could color your view about life.

Why is homeostasis criticalessential to an organisms well being and survial?

Homeostasis is important because enzymes work best at specific conditions. Homeostasis is the process by which our insides are kept pretty much the same, whatever the outside conditions. This keeps the enzymes working at their optimum. If our bodies themselves (or by behavior) didn't keep our insides stable, many organisms would probably die out. Homeostasis is very important to the survival of organisms.
