Homeostasis & Tranport

Homeostasis is the process in which you regulate something internal or return it to its natural state. A great example of homeostasis is the human body, the human body regulates itself  to make sure it stays at a certain point all day. There are many forms of homeostasis such as Thermoregulation, The process of which your body temperature either is to high or too low and needs to be returned to your normal temperature. Osmoregulation is another example of how the body is constantly changing, during the process of osmoregulation the amount of fluids your body either increases or decreases by either urination or sweating. Another example could be the regulation of oxygen, pH Levels, glucose, and there are plenty more to be accounted for. This process in which all organism Can monitor and maintain A constant state is something called a “Homeostatic Mechanism”. The main topics of homeostatic mechanism is gas concentration, Blood sugar, Body temperature, and blood pressure which also falls in with the category of regulating your body and their function.I hope you are able to retain the information given below, and do well on your test.

Objective 

SWBAT Understand the different processes on maintaining homeostasis and how they keep your body on a regular function every day.

Essential Question
  • Are you able to explain why organism are able to maintain homeostasis (Thermoregulation, Oxygen regulation, Etc. )

  • Can you compare the mechanisms that are used to transport materials over the plasma membrane

Active 

Key words 

  • Osmoregulation -The maintenance of constant fluid pressures in the body
  • Passive transport -The movement of ions and other atomic or molecular atoms across the cell membrane without the use of energy.

  • Active transport -The movement of ions and other atomic moleclues moving across a cell membrane into another area with a higher use of energy.
