the maintenance of a constant internal environment e.g blood sugar levels or temperature
Living organisms exhibit characteristics such as organization, metabolism, growth, adaptation, response to stimuli, reproduction, and homeostasis. These characteristics collectively define life and distinguish living organisms from non-living things.
Homeostasis maintains a stable internal environment in the body, including factors such as body temperature, blood sugar levels, pH balance, and fluid balance. It ensures that these conditions are kept within a narrow range to support optimal cellular function and overall health.
The endoplasmic reticulum is an important organelle that helps maintain homeostasis by transporting materials within the cell. It plays a key role in protein and lipid synthesis, detoxification of drugs, and storage of calcium ions.
The sympathetic division of the autonomic nervous system typically has more specific local control. This is because sympathetic nerves release norepinephrine at specific target tissues, allowing for precise modulation of target organ responses. In contrast, the parasympathetic division releases acetylcholine more diffusely, leading to more widespread effects on multiple target organs.
Homeostasis is maintaining a constant internal environment. A good example of homeostasis is the regulation of blood glucose levels in humans. Too low and glucagon triggers the break down of glycogen raising the blood glucose levels, too high and insulin causes glucose to be removed from the blood and synthesised into glycogen. Homostasis is always about negative feedback as described in the example above. The process you have described in your question is photosynthesis and is an anabolic process and on its own is NOT a homeostasis process. The plant will make sugar compounds from carbon dioxide and use these compounds for respiration, its basically a way of harvesting and producing usable energy so not a homeostasis process.

The electrolyte Sodium (Na+) is responsible for fluid homostasis.
Yes - but it's weak for a single cell.
You should get checkups yearly so you know that your homostasis is working on a regular basis.
Bones help us maintain homeostasis in a few different ways. The bones are a bank for calcium and phosphorous.
Taking your temperature as fever can be sign of infection. **Blood analysis to screen for imbalances **Hepatic screening: Liver function test
Receptors pick up changes in touch, pressure, and temperature and transmit impulses into the brain and spinal cord. The body responds to protect itself or maintain homeostasis
