  2. What is equilibrium in biology? - Socratic

    socratic.org/questions/what-is-equilibrium-in-biology

    Explanation: A state of body balance for an actively moving animal, when internal and external forces are in equilibrium. It results in a stable system. The state of balance, the tendency of change is absent. A state of body balance for an actively moving animal, when internal and external forces are in equilibrium.

    Answer link. There's a pretty big difference here. The main thing is that Homeostasis is related to a system and Dynamic Equilibrium is reserved for describing reactions. I'll break it down: Homeostasis is the regulation of variables in a system so that they remain constant and internally stable. For example, your body regulates your internal ...

  6. Why is dynamic equilibrium important for living organisms?

    socratic.org/questions/why-is-dynamic-equilibrium-important-for-living-organisms

    If a living organism does not respond to external or internal changes in conditions, it may die. Homeostasis is a dynamic equilibrium between an organism and its environment. The organism must detect and respond to stimuli. Failure to respond may result in disease or death. An organism uses feedback mechanisms to maintain dynamic equilibrium. The level of one substance influences the level of ...

  7. Ecological Succession - Biology - Socratic

    socratic.org/biology/change-in-communities/ecological-succession

    In primary succession, there is no soil and it needs to form. This process takes time, as pioneer species must colonize the area, they must die, and as this happens over and over again, soil forms. Secondary succession happens after some sort of disturbance. Vegetation has already been present in the area, but it no longer exists.

  8. When is equilibrium reached in diffusion? - Socratic

    socratic.org/questions/when-is-equilibrium-reached-in-diffusion

    Answer link. Equilibrium is reached when there is a uniform distribution of solvent particles or when there is an equal concentration of solute on each side of a membrane. Diffusion is the spontaneous movement of particles from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. There are two types of diffusion: (a) a fluid through a ...

    socratic.org/questions/how-does-static-equilibrium-work-in-the-body

    Static equilibrium works in a body by shifting the body from high energy states to low energy levels. You can see this questions in two flavors: micro and macro. My answer is for the former, for the latter I cannot see an answer, "it just happens." See that the macro is explained from the micro, e.g. gas pressure can be explained, using Boltzmann they, by molecule speeds; heat can be explained ...

  10. Diffusion - Biology - Socratic

    socratic.org/biology/movement-in-and-out-of-cells/diffusion

    What is the definition of "diffusion"? Question #5a34c. Diffusion is the movement of chemical molecules across a membrane based on differences between concentration gradients on either side of the membrane. Diffusion is particularly used in the transport of salts.

  11. What is the difference between net diffusion and diffusion?

    socratic.org/questions/what-is-the-difference-between-net-diffusion-and-diffusion

    Net Diffusion is the total movement of particle The diffusion is a random process from a region of higher concentration to lower concentration down the concentration gradient Let's say you have a membrane which can allow water movement but not sugar molecules. At the very beginning the water particle will move towards the less concentration area, but as time passes some particles move from ...
