Answer to Question 1

D
Explanation: In homeostasis, the kidneys regulate the level of electrolytes, amount of water in the body, and pH.

Answer to Question 2

B
Explanation: Leuk/o means white and -cytosis means too many cells; therefore, leukocytosis means too many white cells. Pan- means all, cyt/o means cell, and -penia means too few; thus, pancytopenia means too few of all cells. Hematocytosis is not a medical term, but would mean too many blood cells. Leukocytopenia means too few white cells.
