Which of the following are factors that both unicellular and multicellular organisms actively balance in order to achieve homeostasis?

A) Size, shape, and mass
B) Texture, density, and flexibility
C) Wastes, nutrients, and water
D) Sound, light, and temperature

Asked by SamSmith

Answer (3)

C) wastes, nutrients, and water. Those are all properties organisms need to survive with, to achieve homeostasis (maintaining balance) the organism needs to regulate that.
(Size shape and mass don't make sense, texture doesn't make sense, neither does light)
I think of it like imagining a bear, do they maintain size during hibernation? No, maintain light? No.

The answer is C) Wastes, nutrients, and water, as these are critical factors both unicellular and multicellular organisms manage to maintain homeostasis. They regulate waste elimination, nutrient intake, and water balance to ensure stable internal conditions. Other options listed do not accurately represent these essential factors for homeostasis.
