Question

Which is an example of how the body maintains homeostasis? increasing thirst when cells are low on water decreasing thirst when cells are low on water shivering when it is hot sweating when it is cold

Answer 1

Increasing thirst when cells are low on water because you want to get back to equilibrium and have your cells be back to baseline for water. 

Answer 2

The right option is; increasing thirst when cells are low on water

Homeostasis is ability of a biological system or the body to adjust its internal environment in order to maintain a condition of stability regardless of the external changing conditions. Homeostasis occurs in humans when thirst is increased because cells are low on water, when sweating to cool off when it is hot, or when shivering to produce heat when it is cold.
