Homeostasis tries to maintain internal or external balances.

What is internal balances?

100

This substance moves through a semipermeable membrane in osmosis.

What is water?

100

This type of feedback loops is more common in the body.

What are negative feedback loops?

100

Passive diffusion allows particles to move from _______ to ______ concentration.

What is high to low?

100

Our bodies maintaining a stable body temperature of about 98.6 degrees, is an example of what process?

What is homeostasis or a negative feedback loop?

200
Homeostasis is our body responding to what?

What is changes in the external environment or stimuli?

200

Water moves from an area of low ________ concentration to an area of high ________ concentration.

What is solute; solute?

200

In negative feedback, is the goal to change direction or proceed in the same direction in response to a stimulus?

What is change direction?

200

Examples of what moves during diffusion.

What are gases, sugars, proteins, salts, ions, etc.?

200

The ________ gets dissolved in a solution made of water.

What is the solute?

300

This is the location that receives the input and creates an action plan.

What is the brain or the control center?
300

This type of solution is when there are equal amounts of water on both the inside of the cell and the outside. Water moves at equal rates inside and outside.

What is an isotonic solution?

300

The brain will tell the heart to work harder in order to raise blood pressure, and when the heart is working too hard the brain will tell it to slow down, returning to stable levels. This is an example of what type of feedback loop.

What is a negative feedback loop?

300

This type of diffusion moves particles using energy.

What is active transport?

300

This type of solution can make a cell burst and die.

What is a hypotonic solution?

400

This part of the homeostatic process notices the change in stimuli and sends the message to the brain.

What is the receptor?

400

This type of solution is when there is less water on the inside of the cell than the outside. Water moves in to the cell.

What is a hypotonic solution?

400

This type of feedback loop is less common and drives the system further from stable values.

What are positive feedback loops?

400

Active transport requires energy because it moves in the opposite direction from ________ to __________ concentration.

What is low to high?

400

This type of solution can cause a cell to shrink, dehydrate like a raisin, and die.

What is a hypertonic solution?

500

This part of the homeostatic process carries out the action plan from the control center.

What is the effector/ regulator?

500

This type of solution is when there is more water on the inside of the cell than the outside. Water moves out of the cell.

What is a hypertonic solution?

500

Blood clotting occurs when there is an injury to an area. Blood cells start to form a clump to stop the bleeding and will not stop getting larger until the injury is fixed. This is an example of what type of loop.

What is a positive feedback loop?

500

This type of diffusion moves particles through membrane proteins with the concentration gradient.

What is facilitated transport?

500

This condition occurs when your temperature increases and your body fails to maintain homeostasis.

What is a fever?
