Process related to homeostasis

The document discusses several biological processes related to homeostasis, including thermoregulation, osmoregulation, excretion, and feedback mechanisms. Thermoregulation involves various systems working to maintain steady body temperature through processes like evaporative cooling and heat shock proteins in plants. Osmoregulation requires adaptations for water balance in land animals like waxy skins and drinking moist foods, while plants employ strategies like thick, waxy leaves and positioning stomata. Excretion eliminates waste through various routes in both plants like shedding leaves and animals like sweating, breathing, and urinating. Feedback mechanisms can be negative, counteracting changes, or positive, increasing changes away from set points to enable rapid responses.
