Layton Beard · Answer 1

Answer: homeostasis

Explanation: Homeostasis is the ability of a system to maintain a balance in its internal environment. At the level of an organism, it is the set of parameters that must remain constant or adapt to the needs, such as blood pressure or heart rate, body temperature, blood glucose.

The concept of homeostasis was mentioned for the first time in 1866 by French physician and physiologist Claude Bernard. Today, the concept has been extended to other systems than purely organic ones, and can also be applied to an ecosystem.

Diffusion

Explanation:

Diffusion is the process through which molecules in the cell are kept in balance with those outside the cell.

Diffusion is the process by which molecules move from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration.

Through the above mechanism, molecules having higher concentration in the cell move out of the cell and vice versa thereby maintaining the balance of molecules in and outside the cell.
