Question
### Understanding Homeostasis **Inquiry:** Explain or describe how homeostasis is the maintenance of a dynamic range of environmental qualities rather than holding the internal environment at a set point. **Explanation:** Homeostasis refers to the body's ability to maintain stable internal conditions despite changes in the external environment. Instead of keeping internal conditions at a fixed point, homeostasis allows for a dynamic range of values that the body can tolerate. This flexibility enables organisms to adapt to varying circumstances while ensuring optimal functioning. Mechanisms such as feedback loops and regulatory processes constantly adjust physiological parameters to stay within this range, ensuring balance and health.
