Homeostasis
TRUE OR FALSE
The root word "homeo" in homeostasis means different.
FALSE
The root word "homeo" in homeostasis means same. Homeostasis is how living things maintain a constant internal environment. There might be slight differences in the internal environment, such as your body's temperature (~98.6ºF), but it relatively remains the same.
