Homeostasis means/known as?Two word answer.
Correct Answer
Steady State
Steady state
steady stateExplanation
Homeostasis refers to the ability of an organism or system to maintain a stable internal environment despite external changes. The term "steady state" accurately describes this concept as it implies a state of equilibrium or balance in which the internal conditions remain constant. The repetition of the term in different formats ("Steady State," "Steady state," "steady state") suggests that the answer is consistent and emphasizes the importance of this term in understanding homeostasis.Rate this question:

Your blood pressure should be an average of x/x
Correct Answer
120/80Explanation
The correct answer is 120/80 because it is considered a normal blood pressure reading. The top number, 120, represents the systolic pressure, which is the pressure in the arteries when the heart beats and pumps blood. The bottom number, 80, represents the diastolic pressure, which is the pressure in the arteries when the heart is at rest between beats. A blood pressure reading of 120/80 is considered healthy and indicates that the person has a normal blood pressure level.Rate this question:

Which set of elements makes up the most reactive group of all metals?
- A.
Halogens
- B.
Alkali metals
- C.
Alkaline earth metals
Correct Answer
B. Alkali metalsExplanation
Alkali metals make up the most reactive group of all metals. This is because alkali metals have only one valence electron, which they readily lose to form a positive ion. This loss of an electron results in a stable electron configuration, similar to that of a noble gas. Due to the low ionization energy and electronegativity of alkali metals, they have a strong tendency to react with other elements, especially non-metals, in order to achieve a more stable electron configuration. This high reactivity is why alkali metals are stored in oil or inert gases to prevent them from reacting with moisture or oxygen in the air.Rate this question:
