  2. Steady state (biochemistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steady_state_(biochemistry)

    In biochemistry, steady state refers to the maintenance of constant internal concentrations of molecules and ions in the cells and organs of living systems. [1] Living organisms remain at a dynamic steady state where their internal composition at both cellular and gross levels are relatively constant, but different from equilibrium concentrations. [1]

  3. Adjusting entries - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adjusting_entries

    In accounting, adjusting entries are journal entries usually made at the end of an accounting period to allocate income and expenditure to the period in which they actually occurred. The revenue recognition principle is the basis of making adjusting entries that pertain to unearned and accrued revenues under accrual-basis accounting .

    In biology, homeostasis (British also homoeostasis; / h ɒ m i oʊ ˈ s t eɪ s ɪ s,-m i ə-/ hoh-mee-oh-STAY-sis) is the state of steady internal physical and chemical conditions maintained by living systems. [1]

  6. Allostasis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allostasis

    Allostasis (/ˌɑːloʊˈsteɪsɪs/) is a physiological mechanism of regulation in which an organism anticipates and adjusts its energy use according to environmental demands.

  7. Acclimatization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acclimatization

    Acclimatization or acclimatisation (also called acclimation or acclimatation) is the process in which an individual organism adjusts to a change in its environment (such as a change in altitude, temperature, humidity, photoperiod, or pH), allowing it to maintain fitness across a range of environmental conditions.

  8. Stress (biology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stress_(biology)

    In biology, most biochemical processes strive to maintain equilibrium (homeostasis), a steady state that exists more as an ideal and less as an achievable condition. Environmental factors, internal or external stimuli, continually disrupt homeostasis; an organism's present condition is a state of constant flux moving about a homeostatic point ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hormesis

    [9] [10] Over 600 substances show a U-shaped dose–response relationship; Calabrese and Baldwin wrote: "One percent (195 out of 20,285) of the published articles contained 668 dose-response relationships that met the entry criteria [of a U-shaped response indicative of hormesis]" [11]
