Discuss the effect of a virus that attacks the homeostasis of water regulation in cells in a rabbit on each level of organization – cellular, tissues, organs, organ system, organisms, population, an ecosystem.

Homeostasis is when the internal conditions of a living being stays stable regardless of what is happening externally. These internal conditions include pH level, temperature, and glucose level. The human body wants to remain in homeostasis but if it were to remain at normal body temperature while under attack by a virus, the virus would take over the entire body. Instead, the body raises the temperature which is called a fever, and this makes the climate uncomfortable for the virus. Viruses become slower in warmer temperatures and this in turn allows the immune system to attack the virus and rid the body of said virus.
