What to Focus On

  • Homeostasis means maintaining a steady internal state.
  • It ensures optimal conditions for cellular activities.
  • Examples include regulation of water, sugar, pH, and body temperature.
  • Enzymes work best at 35–40°C.
  • Above 45°C, enzymes are denatured and cells are damaged.
  • Below 0°C, ice crystals form and damage cells.
  • Endotherms regulate body temperature internally (e.g., humans, birds).
  • Ectotherms depend on external temperature (e.g., frogs, lizards).
  • Endotherms are also called homoiotherms; ectotherms are called poikilotherms.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

All animals regulate their body temperature like humans do.

Sweating cools the body because the sweat is cold.

The skin regulates body temperature by feeling hot or cold.

Memory Tips

Definition of homeostasis: maintaining stable internal conditions

Endotherms vs Ectotherms: Endotherms regulate internal temperature; Ectotherms depend on environment

Four components of homeostasis: Set point, Sensor, Integrating centre, Effector

Negative feedback reverses change; Positive feedback amplifies it
