Question

1. what characteristic of life should be the title of this graph? a. cellular basis b. growth c. homeostasis d. reproduction

Explanation:

The graph shows a system that deviates from an optimal state (best environment) due to stress, then uses correcting mechanisms to return to that optimal state. This matches the definition of homeostasis, which is the ability of organisms to maintain a stable internal/optimal environment despite external changes. The other options do not fit: cellular basis refers to cells as the building block of life, growth is an increase in size/complexity, and reproduction is producing new organisms.

Answer:

c. Homeostasis
