    answer choices
    allows for a wildly fluctuating internal environment
    is impossible in vertebrates
    is the maintenance of a relatively stable internal environment and often incorporates a form of feedback regulation
    is the maintenance of a relatively stable external environment and often incorporates a form of feedback regulation
  • Question 9
    180 seconds
