An example of homeostasis is

The purpose of this experiment is to become familiar with some properties of water and solutions and distinguish between such terms as diffusion‚ dialysis and osmosis. In this experiment‚ we will be going over water residue‚ water of hydration‚ solutions and dialysis. For Water Residue section‚ place about 1 mL of tap water on a clean watch glass and gently heat it until water has evaporated. Record if there is any residue and repeat this procedure using deionized water. Next‚ for Water of Hydration

We first cut the dialysis tubing into 6 pieces‚ each 1ft. long‚ and placed them into a beaker of water. We then tied off the dialysis tubing and poured 25 mL of distilled water in.
