The term for the maintenance of stable conditions within a cell is homeostasis. This process involves a variety of physiological mechanisms that regulate factors such as temperature, pH, and ion concentrations, ensuring optimal functioning. Homeostasis is essential for the survival of cells and organisms, as it allows them to operate within a narrow range of conditions despite external fluctuations. Disruption in homeostasis can lead to diseases, highlighting the importance of this regulatory process. Cells use feedback mechanisms, both negative and positive, to achieve balance and adapt to changes in their environment.
