What is the role of the plasma membrane in maintaining homeostasis?
By keeping cell contents in and foreign material out, which makes controlled avenues for the transport of fuels, fluids, and wastes.
How does the cell maintain homeostasis through the regulation of:
Temperature: temperature is maintained to ensure that the blood going to vital organs is kept constant.
pH, Blood: if this does not stay balanced, it can affect your body, so maintaining a balance is important.
Glucose levels: this affects every cell in the body, therefore it is vital to be kept within a normal range, levels too high or too low can result in death.
Water balance: must be kept around the same to avoid cell damage- this must be maintained by having a balance between the water entering and exiting the body.

How do solutions of different concentrations affect changes in osmotic pressure?
Through toxicity, which is the measure of
