Homeostasis

A

the ability an organism has to have internal steady state when the environment is changing

46
Q

Negative feedback

A

When

47
Q

Negative Feedback

A

this will cause it to work in the opposite direction of the stimulus. Variable maintained at a normal level called set point.

48
Q

Positive Feedback

A

This stimulus is reinforced to continue the same direction until a climatic event occurs (ex Breastfeeding) after an event occurs it returns back to homeostasis.

49

The gelatinous liquid that fills the inside of a cell

50
Q

Q

Golgi Complex

A

Packs to transport Proteins. Has 2 poles cis-face and Trans-face

56
Q
