 Activity 3: Let’s Think About It
1. Why is homeostasis important for survival?

- Living organisms need to maintain homeostasis constantly in

order to properly grow, work, and survive. In general,
homeostasis is essential for normal cell function, and overall
balance. For this process to function properly, homeostasis
helps our body to keep both water and salt balance level.

2. What is the difference between the biological meaning of

adaptation and the common meaning of adaptation?
- Adaptation generally refers to change that leads organisms to be
suited to their local circumstances in some way, when that
change is due to changes in the mix of genetic variants in a
species that is there. It is genetic change that alters the resulting
organism in ways that are different and more successful in the
environment than the genotypes (that is, the organisms with the
genotypes) that had been there. The usual image is that of
natural selection screening out the less successful genotypes,
with the result that the ones that persist increase in their
frequency in the population.

3. How does the shape of the red blood cell allow it to perform its
function of carrying oxygen to the cell?

- It allows oxygen to exchange at a constant rate over the largest

possible area.
