Question
Chapter 1, Problem 7WIO
Summary Introduction
To explain:
The reason how home’s air conditioning system illustrate homeostasis.
Concept Introduction:
Air-conditioner is a machine which maintains the temperature of the air by exchanging the heat from the surroundings. The temperature of the air gets lowered which is suitable for the human body. It consists of inert gases inside the compressor which pulls the warm air and releases the cool air into the surroundings.
