Summary Introduction
To analyze:
The way RAS aids in homeostasis.
Introduction:
Homeostasis is the process of maintaining the same internal environment of body with respect to every changing external environment. Many systems within the body coordinate with each other to maintain body vitals in the normal range. For example, temperature and pH balance in the body is the result of homeostasis.

- Part || – An Unexpected Visitor After Ivy was finished meeting with Dr. Alvarez, she didn't feel like going back to her dorm room where her room- mates were waiting to hear from her. She decided to process her diagnosis at the local coffee shop. Curling up in an oversized chair with a warm cookie and peppermint hot cocoa with whipped cream always made her feel better. Sitting alone would give her time to think. How could something so important go so wrong in her cells? How did cells get or make the mitochondria anyway? Obviously, cells could survive without mitochondria if they had to, so why had mitochondria evolved in the first place? Just then, Ali, a fellow student in her biology class who made it a point to sit near her each class, walked over to strike up a conversation. "Hi Ivy! Whať's up?" Trying to avoid conversation, Ivy simply shrugged and mumbled, “Not much." Ali gave her a big smile and said "I've noticed that you take good notes in bio, would you want to study together...…arrow_forwardExplain circadian rhythms in terms of gene expression.arrow_forwardWhat is a regenerative FGD process?arrow_forward
