The answer is the second one: set point.

Explanation for each option:

  • Sinusoidal: This term refers to a waveform or pattern that describes a smooth, periodic oscillation. It is not related to the steady-state value that the body maintains.

  • Set point: This is the correct term. It refers to the target value or range for any physiological variable that the body attempts to maintain through homeostasis. For example, the set point for human body temperature is around 37°C (98.6°F).

  • Effector: This term refers to a component in a feedback system that acts to bring about a change in a physiological variable. It is not the term for the steady-state value itself.

  • Equilibrium: While this term can describe a state of balance, it is more general and does not specifically refer to the target value the body maintains.

  • Integrator: This term refers to a component in a feedback system that processes information and determines the response needed to maintain homeostasis. It is not the term for the steady-state value.

In summary, the term used to describe the steady-state value for any variable that the body attempts to maintain is "set point."

Naturalmaid processes organic milk into plain yogurt. Naturalmaid sells plain yogurt to hospitals, nursing homes, and restaurants in bulk, one-gallon containers. Each batch, processed at a cost of 870, yields 675 gallons of plain yogurt. The company sells the one-gallon tubs for 5.00 each and spends 0.10 for each plastic tub. Naturalmaid has recently begun to reconsider its strategy. Management wonders if it would be more profitable to sell individual-sized portions of fruited organic yogurt at local food stores. Naturalmaid could further process each batch of plain yogurt into 14,400 individual portions (3 / 4 cup each) of fruited yogurt. A recent market analysis indicates that demand for the product exists. Naturalmaid would sell each individual portion for 0.46. Packaging would cost 0.06 per portion, and fruit would cost 0.12 per portion. Fixed costs would not change. Should Naturalmaid continue to sell only the gallon-sized plain yogurt (sell as is) or convert the plain yogurt into individual-sized portions of fruited yogurt (process further)? Why? Calculate the net benefit per batch under each alternative. (Enter a "0" for any zero amounts. Round the net benefit per batch to the nearest whole dollar.)
