An example of homeostasis in living organisms is - WAEC Biology 2018 Question
An example of homeostasis in living organisms is
A
cooling effect resulting from evaporation of water from the body surface
B
root hairs of a plant growing towards the source of light
C
changing of the body colour of chameleon to match the colour of the foliage on which it is resting
D
the release of phosphorus into the phloem of a plant growing in a phosphorus-deficient soil
correct option: d
Homeostasis is a living organism's way of maintaining a stable internal environment even in the event of external environmental changes. When the plant keeps supplying phosphorus to the phloem even in the case of a deficiency in the soil, it maintains a steady balance on its inside irrespective of the lack in the soil.
