Hatshy [7]3 years ago

The ability of organisms to regulate and thus maintain a relatively stable internal environment, despite external pressures, is called HOMEOSTASIS. This word comes from two Latin/Greek root words: "homeo" and "stasis".
"Homeo" means constant or unchanging. And "stasis" or "static" refers to stillness, non-movement. So, together, we can translate Homeostasis into a constant stillness inside, which makes sense for "maintaining normal internal states."

Answer:

Homeostasis

Explanation:

refers to the necessity of an organism to maintain constant or stable internal conditions.

In order to maintain homeostasis, organisms must have structures and processes that allow them to respond to stimuli. For example, the cell membrane is a structure that allows cells to maintain the proper concentration of materials inside and outside of a cell, so the organism that contains the cell can function properly.

What is the job of tRNA
exis [7]

Answer:

To make our mRNA

Explanation:

I think it is this one, but I am not sure, sorry if it is wrong. :(  

But I do know this, I think it might help you:

A transfer RNA (tRNA) is a special kind of RNA molecule. Its job is to match an mRNA codon with the amino acid it codes for. You can think of it as a kind of molecular "bridge" between the two. Each tRNA contains a set of three nucleotides called an anticodon.

IRISSAK [1]

All living organisms have ways of maintaining homeostasis. They have mechanisms for controlling such factors as their internal temperature, water balance, and acidity. Homeostasis is necessary for normal life processes that take place inside cells.
