Homeostasis refers to the mechanism of the body to maintain a stable internal environment instead of changes taking place in the external environment.

The balance that is attained is called dynamic equilibrium, which means as the changes occur body work to maintain a relatively uniform conditions.

The maintain that equilibrium body control temperature, blood pH, amount of blood in the glucose are ways of body to maintain homeostasis.

The sodium-potassium pump is involved in active transport that moves 3 sodium ions from the cell for every 2 potassium ions it m
Ugo [173]

Answer:

The sodium-potassium pump is an active transporter because it needs to move sodium and potassium ions against the concentration gradient.

Explanation:

You have to think of it as outside vs inside the cell.

Outside the cell, you have 5mM K and 150mM Na. Inside the cell, you have 100mM K and 10mM sodium. Without the transporter then the ions would go from greater concentration to lower concentration.  Energy keeps the ions going from the way they would naturally happen.

Why are red blood cells unable to replace damaged proteins
Rainbow [258]

The sole reason why red blood cells are unable to replace damaged proteins is that red blood cells lack DNA and cell organelles such as the nucleus, ribosomes, and mitochondria which are crucial for protein synthesis, assembly, and repair. In other words, they lack both the information and the machinery for making or repair of proteins.

Due to lack of DNA and cell organelles, red blood cells cannot be able to satisfy the central dogma which summarizes synthesis of proteins as DNA → RNA → proteins.

DNA has the genetic information on how proteins should be made, RNA is responsible for transferring the information from DNA in the cell nucleus to the ribosomes in the cytoplasm,  then translating or decoding this information, which results in the making of protein.
