Answer:

Homeostasis is a state of balance among all the body systems needed for the body to survive and function correctly.

Three examples would be

thermoregulation, blood glucose regulation, and baroreflex in blood pressure,

During photosynthesis, plants take in carbon dioxide and water from the air and soil. Within the plant cell, the water is oxidized, meaning it loses electrons, while the carbon dioxide is reduced, meaning it gains electrons. This transforms the water into oxygen and the carbon dioxide into glucose.

In cellular respiration, glucose and oxygen react to form ATP. Water and carbon dioxide are released as byproducts.

The organelle in charge of photosynthesis is chloroplast and cellular respiration is the mitocondria.
