Biological Autonomy

Biological autonomy refers to the capacity of living organisms to regulate and maintain their internal functions independently of external controls. It means that living systems, like cells or organisms, can Sustain essential processes such as metabolism, growth, and adaptation through internal mechanisms. This self-governance allows them to respond to changes in their environment, repair damage, and reproduce. Essentially, biological autonomy is about the organism’s ability to be self-sufficient and resilient, maintaining its integrity despite external influences, ensuring survival and continued functioning.
