What describes two phases in dynamic equilibrium?
Static balance - maintaining balance while holding a pose or remaining motionless (balance on one foot)dynamic balance - maintaining balance when in motion, starting, and stopping (balancing while walking on a balance beam)
What is the function of equilibrium?
the demand for and supply of goods and services can be plotted on graphs using different prices. The supply and demand for a good or service intersect on the graph at what is called the equilibrium price
Can dynamic equilibrium occur only in water?
No, dynamic equilibrium can occur in any chemical system where the rate of the forward reaction is equal to the rate of the reverse reaction. It is not specific to water and can happen in various types of solvents and conditions.
When the body becomes dehydrated a chemical signal is sent that causes nephrons in the kidneys to absorb more water and excrete more salts. This is an example of a?
negative feedback loop, where the body responds to an imbalance by triggering processes to restore equilibrium.
What is the definition for reversible change in scientific terms?
A reversible change in science refers to a process where the system can be restored to its original state without any loss of energy or information. This means the change can be reversed by applying the appropriate conditions or forces to the system. Examples include physical changes like melting and freezing of water.
What is the ability of the body to maintain equilibrium or steady state called?
The ability of the body to maintain equilibrium or steady state is called homeostasis. This process involves the regulation of various internal conditions, such as temperature, pH, and glucose levels, to ensure the body functions optimally.
What is the term that means constant state of equilibrium in the body?
Homeostasis
A body at rest is in state of is called?
A body at rest is in a state of equilibrium. This means that the net forces acting on the body are balanced, resulting in no movement.
What is equilibrium state?
The simplest answer is a state of equilibrium exists when things are in balance. Physical, emotional, political, etc. It is the state of a body at which the resultant forces acting on the body will be zero. It is usually attained when the C.G of the body lies within and near its base. The state of the equilibrium is where there is no change. State of equilibrium means that there is a balance of forces summing to zero, or no acceleration. If there are no forces, there will be no acceleration or change of velocity.
What does Equilibrium mean in medical terms?
Essentially balance. One is reminded of the phrase used on blimps and Tankers, where huge quantities of fluids had to be carefully weighed-off as ( Weighed off and In Equilibrium ! prior to the take-off of the Blimp.
What is maintained by the Endocrine system and Nervous system?
Homeostasis, dynamic equilibrium, steady state, coordination, regulation, human body, and heart. It can be disrupted by parasites, fungi, bacteria and viruses.
When do you say a body is in complete equilibrium?
A body is in complete equilibrium when the net force acting on it is zero and the net torque around any point is also zero. This means the body is at rest or moving at a constant velocity with no rotations occurring.
When the pressure of nitrogen is balanced between air and your body you are at what state?
When the pressure of nitrogen is balanced between the air and your body, you are at a state of equilibrium. This means that the pressure of nitrogen inside your body is equal to the pressure of nitrogen in the surroundings, creating a balance that prevents any further pressure buildup or release.
What the difference between 'steady state' and 'equilibrium'?
At equilibrium all chemical potential gradients are zero. Moreover, the principle of microscopic reversibility guarantees that, at equilibrium, the rate at which any process proceeds in the "forward" direction is exactly balanced by the rate of that process in the "reverse" direction. This holds for every individual process, and means that at equilibrium there can be no net flux through any enzyme, any ion channel, or any transport protein. This is easy to understand intellectually because a nonzero chemical potential difference is absolutely required to drive a net flux. But steady state and equilibrium are so commonly used as if they were synonyms, that you will likely have to think about these points for hours before you can parry the objections of scientists who are sure of their misinformation.A widely misunderstood example is provided by the transport of ions across the plasma membrane of a cell. Take Na+ as an example. Because, in the normal state of the cell, there is no net flux of Na+ across the cell membrane, and because the Na concentration in the cytosol is not changing with time, this condition is sometimes thought to be an equilibrium state. It is not. It is a steady state. The fact that [Na+] is constant is sufficient to define a steady state, but is insufficient to distinguish a steady state from an equilibrium. That is because an equilibrium is a special case of a steady state; an equilibrium is a steady state that is achieved when all chemical potential gradients have decayed to zero and there are no further net movements of molecules via any process. This is in marked contrast to the steady state of Na in a living cell. Here, there is a substantial net flux of Na into the cell through Na channels in the cell membrane, and there is an opposite but equal net flux of Na extruded from the cell by the action of the Na+K+ATPase. There is a nonzero chemical potential gradient consisting of both chemical and electrical terms that propells Na+ into the cell, and there is a nonzero chemical potential gradient including a term for the hydrolysis of ATP that pumps Na+ from the cell. Neither the ion channels nor the Na pump can qualify as processes at equilibrium; there are net Na fluxes through both. The fact that there is no net flux across the membrane is simply a corrollary of the steady state, not an indication of equilibrium. This is because the equilibrium condition is a statement about processes, not about state variables. Consequently, equilibrium is attained only when there are no net fluxes through ion channels and no net fluxes through the pumps. Equilibrium is thus achieved only when the cell is dead. Far from being synonyms, the difference between steady state and equilibrium is the difference between life and death.
The body's state of equilibrium is called?
Homeostasis
What state processes of maintaining a steady state inside the body?
homeostasis
What is the difference between rest and equilibrium?
Rest refers to a state of inactivity or lack of motion, while equilibrium is the state of balance in which opposing forces or influences are balanced. Rest is a specific condition where an object is stationary, while equilibrium refers to a broader concept of balance between different factors.
