Homeostasis
Biology ⇒ Human Biology
Homeostasis starts at 8 and continues till grade 12.
QuestionsToday has an evolving set of questions to continuously challenge students so that their knowledge grows in Homeostasis.
How you perform is determined by your score and the time you take.
When you play a quiz, your answers are evaluated in concept instead of actual words and definitions used.
See sample questions for grade 8
A person drinks a large amount of water. What will the kidneys do to maintain homeostasis?
A person is sweating on a hot day. Which homeostatic process is taking place?
Describe the difference between negative and positive feedback in homeostasis.
Describe what happens to the body if homeostasis fails.
Describe what happens to your breathing rate during exercise and explain why this is an example of homeostasis.
Explain how the body maintains a constant body temperature in cold weather.
Explain how the body responds when blood sugar levels rise after eating a meal.
Explain the role of the kidneys in homeostasis.
Explain why homeostasis is important for enzyme activity in the body.
Explain why maintaining a constant internal environment is important for survival.
What is homeostasis?
What is the main function of insulin in the body?
A person has a disease that damages their pancreas so it cannot produce insulin. Predict what will happen to their blood glucose levels and explain why this is a problem for homeostasis.
A student runs a race and their body temperature rises. Describe two different physiological responses the body uses to bring the temperature back to normal, and explain how each response helps maintain homeostasis.
Describe how the process of negative feedback helps maintain homeostasis, using the regulation of blood pressure as an example.
Explain how the respiratory and circulatory systems work together to maintain homeostasis of oxygen and carbon dioxide levels in the body.
