Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the concept of homeostasis: Homeostasis is the body's ability to maintain a stable internal environment despite changes in external conditions.
Identify examples of homeostatic processes: Breathing rate, shivering, heart rate, and sweating are all physiological responses that help maintain homeostasis.
Recognize that homeostatic imbalance occurs when the body cannot maintain its internal environment within normal ranges, leading to conditions such as illness.
Analyze each option: Breathing rate, shivering, heart rate, and sweating are normal responses to maintain homeostasis, not examples of imbalance.
Conclude that illness is an example of homeostatic imbalance, as it indicates a failure to maintain stable internal conditions.
