Anything that is considered alive must exhibit ALL 7 characteristics of life. A virus may show some characteristics, but it does not show all, so therefore, its not alive.
Answer: "homeostatic (dynamic equilibrium) range"
Homeostasis can be observed through the "homeostatic range (pre-set limits)" of the body's pH, temperature and blood glucose.
Explanation:
Homeostasis is the control of internal environment , physical and chemical conditions maintained by the living systems. A body takes control of its internal environment in spite of external forces interruptions. It can be defined as the body's defensive mechanisms.
Homeostasis is maintained and controlled by the nervous system.
Homeostasis is for optimal functioning of the internal environment such as body pH, body temperature, fluid balance, chemical ions balance (calcium, sodium and potassium) and blood glucose.
Body temperature is normally about 37.5° C (98.6° F).
Salt concentration in body fluids is normally about 0.9%
Blood glucose is normally about 10 mg/ml.
A disturbed (imbalanced body as a result of external forces) body regains its haemostasis balance by
Activating reflexes that fight the disturbance and maintaining behaviours to counteract the disturbance.

Explanation:
I just took the test and checked my answers.
Answer:
This energy comes from the food we eat. Our bodies digest the food we eat by mixing it with fluids (acids and enzymes) in the stomach. When the stomach digests food, the carbohydrate (sugars and starches) in the food breaks down into another type of sugar, called glucose.
