Question

Which best describes homeostasis?.

Answer 1

The correct answer is C) Specialized cells work independently to perform specific functions and also as a team to perform the functions of the body.

Answer 2

Answer - C
Homeostasis is defined as a state of equilibrium or balance. In a living organism, each kind of specialized cells are designed in such a way that they work independently to perform the specific functions assigned to them. At the same time, however, there is a need for harmony among the different specialized cells so as to maintain equilibrium in the body. A failure of one organ or system disrupts the homeostasis of the whole living body.
