Question

It is said that “Life likes it just right.” Interactions between different populations serve to control population size from being too large or too small. Interactions between sensors, integrators, and effectors help to control the levels of different chemicals in the body. And interactions between different cell components help to organize the location inside or outside of cell structures of different chemicals.

Explain how a “just right” amount of a specific chemical is advantageous to living things. How is this chemical regulated by a specific cell-level, organ system-level, or population-level biological process? Be sure to include a flowchart or feedback diagram as part of your response.
