Characteristics of Life Introduction: For many centuries‚ and longer‚ people have argued about the characteristics that separate life from non-life. While some of these arguments are unresolved‚ there are seven characteristics of life that are generally accepted. Anything that possesses all seven of these characteristics of life is known as an organism. 1. The scientific term for a living thing is _____________________________________.

Dynamic Equilibrium (Homeostasis involves adapting responses to the ever-changing environment.) 6. In what direction does a negative feedback mechanism drive the factor being regulate? In the opposite direction (Negative means “opposite” in the context of feedback and homeostasis.) 7. Which of the following is visible when viewing the front of a human body in anatomical position?

The theories include evolution of natural selection‚ inheritance‚ cells‚ biological classification‚ bioenergetics‚ homeostasis‚ and ecosystems. The evolution of natural selection is the theory the theory that attempts to explain how and why species are able to adapt to their environments. “The reason that natural selection is important is that it’s the central idea

The human body always wants homeostasis‚ a balance within the body‚ and when it is not the body will take actions to place it back into homeostasis. Many people do not understand the benefits of a training plan‚ setting realistic goals‚ and sticking to the plan they create. This lack of understanding results in people not creating a training

a result of the heart being unable to pump enough blood for what your body needs. Homeostasis is your body’s ability to maintain an internal environment that is constant‚ no matter what is happening outside of it. The body has a lot of responsibility‚ like blood pressure‚ temperature‚ and things like glucose levels even. So‚ when the body’s blood pressure is high‚ or even low‚ it means that your body’s homeostasis or balanced state has become unbalanced. 2 References: Homeostatic Regulation
