What is the difference between sensitivity, regulation and homeostasis?
Sensitivity: how a being responds to small changes
Regulation: Regulate to that small change (ex: sueur= when someone body temp is higher than the normal temp, sueur is created to regulate the temp.)
Homeostasis: every organism has its own way of adapting to changes (ex: processing food in our belly, separating the nutriments…)

What is meant by program?
An organism needs a recipe for its reproduction (ex: DNA)
