that once a plant reaches a certain acidity within its own body the growth will start to decline. This decline in growth could be due to the fact that a more acidic environment causes the plant to react to try and bring the plant to its desired homeostatic pH. The extra energy expended during trying to reach a certain desired plant pH caused a decline in growth because of how the energy was refocused on homeostasis. With a given opportunity to test this experiment again I would dissect a portion of

disparities across education status are remarkable and unjust. Eliminating these disparities is an ethical as well as a fiscal responsibility. This brief will analyze the disparity‚ the statistics surrounding it‚ and recommendations to mediate the imbalance. Background: The Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) report for 1993-2001 shows that those who had attended college (34.6%) had close to three times as many reported excellent health days as compared to those who had less a less

body is a wonderfully working machine. Homeostasis relates greatly to the “set point theory”. The “set point theory” is explained with the use of homeostasis. “The capacity to compensate for either inadequate or excess food intake reflects the homeostatic system in action. The theory (of “set point theory”) is that if I lose weight‚ my body tries to get it back‚ slowing down my metabolism until I return to my predetermined set point” (Kessler‚ 2009‚ pg. 22). The "set point theory" has a way of explaining
