All living organisms maintain a constant internal environment despite external changes. This process is known as:

B VENKAT · Accepted Answer

## CORE INFORMATION
✓ **Answer**: C
## CONCEPT FRAMEWORK
 **Primary Concept**: Homeostasis
 **Related Topics**: Physiology, Biology, Internal environment, External environment
 **Prerequisites**: Basic understanding of biological processes.
## SOLUTION PATHWAY
**Given Information**:
  The question describes the maintenance of a stable internal environment in living organisms despite external fluctuations.
  
**Method & Steps**:
 1. Identify the key process described.
  Reasoning: The question highlights the ability of organisms to keep their internal conditions stable, regardless of external changes.  This is a fundamental characteristic of life.
  Formula/Rule: N/A
 2. Recall the biological term for this process.
  Working: The process of maintaining a stable internal environment is called homeostasis.  It involves various regulatory mechanisms to control factors like temperature, pH, and water balance.
  Key Point: Homeostasis is crucial for the survival and proper functioning of living organisms.
 3. Select the correct option.
  Result: Homeostasis (option C) is the correct answer.
  Verification: The definition of homeostasis directly matches the description given in the question.
 ## OPTION ANALYSIS
A :x: Metabolism is the sum of all chemical reactions within an organism. While related to maintaining life, it does not directly describe the maintenance of a stable internal environment.
B :x: Adaptation refers to the evolutionary changes that allow organisms to survive in their environment. It is not a process of maintaining a constant internal environment.
 C ✓: Homeostasis is the process by which organisms maintain a stable internal environment despite external changes. This directly answers the question.
D :x: Reproduction is the process of producing offspring. It is unrelated to the maintenance of a stable internal environment.
 ## LEARNING AIDS
 **Common Mistakes**:
  1.Confusing homeostasis with metabolism or adaptation:  Understanding the specific definitions of each term is crucial to avoid this error.
  2.Failing to recall the term homeostasis:  Regular review of biological terminology is helpful.
 **Quick Tips**:
  1.Remember the root word 'homeo' meaning 'similar' and 'stasis' meaning 'standing still'.
  2.Associate homeostasis with maintaining a stable internal balance.
