Summary Introduction
To list: The important elements present in the living systems.
Introduction: An atom can be defined as the smallest componentunit of matter that comprises a chemical element. A particle that is made from the chemical combination of two atoms or more is called a molecule. When atoms of distinct elements bind together, they form molecules known as compounds.

In order to maintain it, systems in the body employ ____(2)_____ which dictates the increase or decrease of the level or amount of a condition or variable. For example, when the increased amount of a hormone triggers the production of a second hormone, it is called a ____(3)_____ feedback mechanism. Sometimes, the increased amount of a variable decreases or stops the production of a hormone. In this case, it is considered a ____(4)____ feedback mechanism. Two different hormones can be used to maintain homeostasis of a single variable.
