Question

What is homeostatic describe homeostatic conditions in protozoa​

Answer 1

Answer:

Homeostatic

Homeostasis, any self-regulating process by which biological systems tend to maintain stability while adjusting to conditions that are optimal for survival.

Homeostatic conditions in protozoa

Protozoans maintain homeostasis by following methods:

1. Support

The bodies of protozoans are supported by pellicle and cytoplasm.

(a) A regular arrangement of microtubules is called the pellicle. Pellicle underlies the plasma membrane of many protozoa. The pellicle is a rigid structure. It maintains the shape of the protozoan. But it is also flexible.

(b) Cytoplasm: The cytoplasm of a protozoan is differentiated into two regions: The portion of the cytoplasm just beneath the pellicle is called ectoplasm. It is relatively clear and firm. The inner cytoplasm is called endoplasm. It is granular and more fluid like.

Answer 2

Homeostasis:

• The steady state in physical and chemical condition of a living organisms.
• This optimal condition is attained by maintaining temperature and body fluids.
• The body is kept withing certain limit for good functioning, the limit is called homeostatic range.

Homeostatic conditions in protozoa​:

• Protozoa is a fresh water organism.
• The organism can get excess amount of water due to osmosis through cell wall of the organisms.
• The process of maintaining constant level of water in the organisms is called osmoregulation.
• Contractile vacuoles are responsible for osmoregulation which regulates the water in the body.
