Title: Explain the concept of homeostasis.
Course: Biological Applications in Agriculture (18308-I) > Section: Understanding Cell Structure and Functions

Explanation should include the following concepts:

- An organism or cell’s internal environment remains stable as the external environment changes because of homeostasis.
- Cells use active and passive transport to maintain homeostasis on a cellular level.
- Multicellular organisms show cell specialization, contain levels of organization, and engage in cellular communication.

Process/Skill Questions:

- How does a cell maintain homeostasis between its internal and external environments?
- What are some examples of cell specialization in an organism?
- What are some examples of levels of organization in an organism?
- How do cells communicate?
- What laboratory resources are needed for an effective study of homeostasis?
