Because equilibrium is a progressive linear advance towards a steady state in which the organism deteriorates and dies.

What is a sodium ion leak channel?
It's where Sodium Ions can flow freely between the cell membrane to maintain equilibrium.
Difference between acidic hydrolysis and basic hydrolysis in amide?
Acidic Conditions: Begin by protonating the oxygen in the carbonyl group, in the next step you can add water to the activated nucleophile to make the tetrahedral intermediate. The rest of the reaction are acid base reactions to maintain an acidic equilibrium and end up the ammonium as the acid catalyst. Basic Conditions: You may begin by adding the hydroxyl group to the carbonyl carbon and then protonating the now negative oxygen from the previous alkene with the proton left over by the hydroxyl group (originally it was water). You need to dissociate your tetrahedral intermediate by protonating the amide and then pushing it out when you take the proton by the oxygen pushing the electrons to make a double bond to form the carbonyl group and push out the NH3. In the end base deprotonates the carboxylic acid and you wind up with ammonium. The main key is equilibrium, you end up with a negative charged ion at the end because you maintain a negative charge in a basic mechanism.
What is the minimum following interval you should maintain under ideal conditions?
3 second
Why would an experiment not demonstrate the law of conservation of mass?
The only experiments that do not maintain mass are some nuclear experiments whereby mass becomes energy. All chemical reactions must maintain the conervation of mass.
What happens if you add energy to either side of a dynamic equilibrium?
Energy is always conserved in a chemical reaction. If heat of reaction is positive, the mixture gets heated and may require external cooling to continue the reaction in the forward direction. If the reaction is endothermic, i.e. heat of reaction is negative, the mixture gets cooled and may need external supply of heat to maintain the reaction in forward direction. When the reaction is at an equilibrium, the heat of reaction is either zero or the mixture has attained an equilibrium with some definite ratios of the reaction products. The total energy of the system is conserved.
One of the conditions required to maintain genetic equilibrium is?
D. no movement into or out of the population
Which feedback mechanisms maintain equilibrium of systems like turgor pressure temperature and chemical reactions?
both negative and positive feedback
What is the vocabulary word for the meaning to keep conditions in the body?
Homeostasis:The ability of a system or living organism to adjust its internal environment to maintain a stable equilibrium; such as the ability of warm-blooded animals to maintain a constant temperature; Such a dynamic equilibrium or balance
What is the ability to maintain equilibrium?
The ability to maintain bodily equilibrium is called balance or balancing. It is to adjust or to become well proportionated.Ê

What are the conditions of equilibrium when a number of parallel forces are acting on a body can a moving body be in equilibrium explain?
The first condition of equilibrium can be applied on concurrent forces that are equal in magnitude, since these produce translational equilibrium. But if the forces are equal in magnitude but are non concurrent then even first condition of equilibrium is satisfied but torque is produced which does not maintain rotational equilibrium. Hence for complete equilibrium that is, both translational and rotational , both the conditions should be satisfied.
How do feedbacks maintain stability in a system?
equilibrium
The ability to maintain bodily equilibrium?
balance
What happens when you add pressure to an equilibrium?
Other aspects of the system (such as heat) will change to maintain equilibrium
Is it possible to maintain equilibrium in a natural environment?
yess
What is the ability to maintain equilibrium when stationary or moving?
Balance. :)
How does the equilibrium relate to the body systems?
equilibrium relates to the body systems becuase, the body has to maintain homeostasis. Which means that equilibrium has reached in your body.
