negative tropisms - Answer-growth away from a stimulus Define homeostasis - Answer-Homeostasis is the regulation of internal conditions in the body. It is necessary to maintain optimal conditions for body functioning. These internal conditions can change as a result of processes within the body and as external conditions change. systems responsible for homeostasis - Answer-the nervous system - uses electrical impulses to communicate the endocrine system - uses chemical molecules to commun...
