Question
Chapter 28.1, Problem 2MC
Summary Introduction
To understand:
The challenges faced by animals in balancing the ion content of the body fluids.
Introduction:
Homeostasis is the state of constant equilibrium maintained in the living system. Homeostasis is brought about due to a resistance in the change of the optimal conditions. The mechanism of homeostasis maintains the water level or the ion balance in the body.
