5. define homeostasis: maintaining of a stable environment
6. what is a homeostatic mechanism: monitors aspects of internal environment and
corrects as needed
*negative feedback mechanism
7. define matter: anything that takes up space and has mass

, 10. what are structure of an
atom: nucleus protons
neutron
electrons
11. define nucleus, proton, electron, neutron: nucleus- central part of atom
proton- positive charge
electron- negative
charge neutron- no
electrical charge
12. ionic bond: formed when electrons are transferred from one atom to another
