Answer: C. Positive feedback mechanisms are overwhelmed.
Explanation:
Homeostasis, is the maintenance of a normal internal environment, in the face of external and internal disturbances, so that the functions of cells and systems of the body are preserved. This is accomplished primarily through feedback systems, so when a system is disturbed, a diversity of local responses, systemic reflexes (rapid reactions and automatic stimuli) and long-term adjustments are activated to bring the system back to its normal equilibrium point.
Most systems are controlled by negative feedback mechanisms, with the controlled variable being able to "turn off" its release, in the same way as a thermostat controls the temperature of a room. So, in this context, too much positive feedback would be related to harmful effects, such as homeostatic imbalance.
There are three temperature scales in use today, Fahrenheit, Celsius and Kelvin.
Fahrenheit temperature scale is a scale based on 32 for the freezing point of water and 212 for the boiling point of water, the interval between the two being divided into 180 parts. The 18th-century German physicist Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit originally took as the zero of his scale the temperature of an equal ice-salt mixture and selected the values of 30 and 90 for the freezing point of water and normal body temperature, respectively; these later were revised to 32 and 96, but the final scale required an adjustment to 98.6 for the latter value.
Until the 1970s the Fahrenheit temperature scale was in general common use in English-speaking countries; the Celsius, or centigrade, scale was employed in most other countries and for scientific purposes worldwide. Since that time, however, most English-speaking countries have officially adopted the Celsius scale. The conversion formula for a temperature that is expressed on the Celsius (C) scale to its Fahrenheit (F) representation is: F = 9/5C + 32.
Hope this helps.
The primary function of the carbon cycle is to recycle the supply of carbon on Earth.
Ecosystem energy flow. Energy's life moves. The energy cycle is based on the flow of energy in an ecosystem through various trophic levels. The cycling energy and nutrients obtained from various external sources maintain our ecosystem.
The responses are A, B, and E. A) Because the sun provides the entire ecosystem with energy, it is a major source of energy. B) because photosynthesis is the process in which plants convert radiant energy from the sun into chemical energy to form sugar-known glucose. E) I believe because, as it moves throughout the ecosystem, the amount of energy at each trophic level decreases.
I hope this helped!!!
