Definition of homeostasis. : a relatively stable state of equilibrium or a tendency toward such a state between the different but interdependent elements or groups of elements of an organism, population, or group striving to achieve homeostasis.
Homeostasis is the ability of a cell or body to maintain stable function amidst changing conditions. As applied to cells, homeostasis first means that what can interact with the organelles and nucleus of a cell must be limited.This is primarily accomplished by the cell membrane, which is a layer of fat and lipids interspersed with proteins which allow needed chemicals and proteins to cross into or out of the cell.s applied to cells, homeostasis first means that what can interact with the organelles and nucleus of a cell must be limited.
