In other words, the term homeostasis is being used to describe the body’s maintenance during resting conditions whereas the term steady state refers to the body’s maintenance<span> during exercise; exercise is a stressor which disrupts homeostasis, also called homeostatic disturbance (e.g. an increase in temperature).







</span>Homeostasis is the maintenance of a constant internal environment (the immediate surroundings of cells) in response to changes in:

the changing conditions of the external environment.
the changing conditions of the internal environment.


Homeostasis is a self adjusting mechanism involving feedback where the response to a stimulus alters the internal conditions and may itself become a new stimulus.

<span> Homeostasis works to maintain the organism's internal environment within tolerance limits - the narrow range of conditions where cellular processes are able to function at a level consistent with the continuation of life. </span>

Answer:

Lysine

Explanation:

lysine residues on the histone tails of the octamer cn be activated by both acetylation and methylation patterns to influence accessibility or silencing of the genes respectiviely. for example, acetylation of H3K27 (histone 3 lysine residue 27) brings about a region of active chromatin allowing access to transcription activity while its trimethylation  will cause silencing of the associated gene at that particular area (no expression of that gene)
