Homeostasis.

[the_jimmy_james]

Homeostasis is the tendency of a closed system to self-regulate its thermal properties. Most often found in warm-blooded, or endothermic organisms, it can be driven by biological processes or by simply hydrophysics.

Very good, Jimmy...now, define osmosis for us...

That is so useful to humans if only we had it.

 

[desdemona]

I prefer Hemostasis myself. ^^

 

[QueenBeeBeeMari]

why?

We do.

Being warm-blooded organisms and all.

 

[QueenBeeBeeMari]

I know lol

Osmosis is the motion of water through a semi-permeable membrane from an area of low solute concentration (more water) to one of high solute concentration (less water).

Osmosis is how I studied for exams back in high school.

You waited for water to move from one place to another in order to learn?

The dang freaky thing about it is that IT WORKED!

No, FeatherDaemon, that is what we called "Note-osis", where you lay your head on your notes, hoping that they would move from the place of high concentration to low concentration...:super_hap

I spent many a night at my desk asleep with my head on my notes. So yeah it is as you say. :ayyy:

How many of us didn't get through school that particular way?

Actually, I thought osmosis was what happened to you if you listened to too much Marie Osmond...(ba-da-bump!).
