Living organisms need homeostasis because they need their environment to be 'just right' in order for them to survive. To maintain this environment, these organisms need to self-regulate and make adjustments. This process of self-regulating is what homeostasis is. Homeostasis can be maintained when organisms stay alive, but if homeostasis cannot be maintained death may occur. ]]> 2020-05-21 02:34:53 UTC https://padlet.com/cmackisack/95gqqmxcvms1/wish/586184186 The importance of Homeostasis. https://padlet.com/cmackisack/95gqqmxcvms1/wish/586189722 We need homeostasis because our enzymes and cells need to be kept at very specific conditions in order to function properly and sustain life. Deviation from the specific condition limits can be harmful or cause death. (e.g. enzymes/proteins denature at high temperatures, but the rate of reaction is far too low to sustain life at low temperatures. Therefore there is an optimum temperature at which our cells function). Whilst the external environment is constantly changing, we must maintain stable internal conditions.
