homeostatis-the conditions are kept same or constant.
Homeothermic- the idea of maintaining the same temperature.
In mammals for instance, when the environmental temperature increases or decreases, their body temp remains constant, They are called homeothermic organisms and carry out the process of thermoregulation.
the reason why mammals wish to maintain their body temperature:
As you can see on the x axis we have the temperature and on the y axis we have the rate of reaction (enzyme ctalysed reaction).
The max rate of reaction is achieved at the optimum temperature.
The optimum temp for the enzyme reaction is approximately the same temperature at which the mammals maintain their body conditions
