Anatomy Concept 2: Homeostasis and Regulation ./ ./ ./ ./ ./




1. Differentiate between dynamic and static equilibrium. -
./ ./ ./ ./ ./ ./ ./


correct answer Dynamic equilibrium is a position where the rate
./ ./ ./ ./ ./ ./ ./ ./ ./ ./ ./


of reactants turning into products and the rate of products turning
./ ./ ./ ./ ./ ./ ./ ./ ./ ./ ./


into reactants are similar or equal whereas static equilibrium is a
./ ./ ./ ./ ./ ./ ./ ./ ./ ./ ./


point where the reaction has come to a halt; here, the reactants no
./ ./ ./ ./ ./ ./ ./ ./ ./ ./ ./ ./ ./


longer turn into products nor the products turn into reactants.
./ ./ ./ ./ ./ ./ ./ ./ ./




2. Describe the relationship between response to stimuli and hom

eostasis. - ./


correct answer Your body responds to stimuli (heat, light, etc.) to

maintain homeostasis. When stimuli interrupts homeostasis, posi

tive or negative feedback occur to restore equilibrium throughout

the body. ./




3. Differentiate between positive and negative feedback loops. In

clude an example of each. -
./ ./ ./ ./ ./


correct answer Positive feedback loops amplify the initiating sti

mulus, moving the system away from its equilibrium whereas the

negative feedback loops counteract the changes of the system, ma

intaining them in a set point. ./ ./ ./ ./ ./ ./

5. Summarize the role of enzymes in the regulation of homeostasi

s. - ./


correct answer Enzymes act as catalysts that speedup the process

of regulating homeostasis. The activity of the particular enzyme (
./ ./ ./ ./ ./ ./ ./ ./ ./


typically a protein) can be regulated and the final product that is

made control the rest of the process.

6. Summarize the role of cellular transport in the regulation of ho

meostasis. - ./


correct answer Transport (can be passive or active) helps regulat
./ ./ ./ ./ ./ ./ ./ ./ ./ ./


e homeostasis by sending signals and transporting mechanisms.

of a substance transported of each. - correct answer Passive:

Simple diffusion- ./


spreading out of molecules across membrane until equilibrium is
