Define the 3 main mechanisms in a “feedback loop”. (the names and what each does)

Biology
1 answer:
viktelen [127]3 years ago
7 0

Explanation:

A feedback loop involves:

  1. a receptor
  2. control center
  3. an effector

The endocrine system involves chemical signalling via the secretion of molecules called hormones into extracellular fluid. They bind to chemical receptors in order to cause specific changes in target cells, these lead to changes in the body's internal environment called homeostasis. It includes the thyroid, parathyroid, pituitary, pineal and adrenal glands along with other regions. The bone, adipose tissue, heart, pancreas and liver are a few of the regions of the body which show endocrine function. The brain, or control center functions to receive and process the information from the receptor. Effectors receive the control center's command and illicits a response in the form of a feedback loop, that may oppose or enhance the stimulus.

Further Explanation:

During homeostasis the body maintains a constant internal balance in pH, temperature, blood pressure etc. Cells in a multicellular organism become specialized for particular tasks and communicate with one another in order to maintain homeostasis. Within the human body these are known as hormone cascades, where several complex steps occur- the tissues signal to one another with the use of hormones released by the endocrine system. For instance, the regulation (increase and decrease) of these secretions is achieved by negative feedback loops, where the release of certain substances during a cascade in turn halts the secretion of hormones at earlier stages.

IRISSAK [1]
<span>Compared to their parents, the new cows are the same species with a different genetic makeup. All cows belong to the same species - Bos taurus species, according to Carl Linnaeus. So, even if this new cow is genetically modified, it would still beong to the same species. However, its genes wouldn't be the same as its parents, given that the scientists tampered with them, which is why it now has a different genetic makeup than its parents.</span>

Which are possible outcomes of a mutation in a gene that codes for a transcription factor?
Digiron [165]
<span>Any of the above is possible because anything can happen to a gene when it is transcripted. Mutation happens when there is a defect of coding the right genes resulting to a change of DNA sequence. DNA may be reduced or unchangeable by a transcription factor because of mutation in a gene.</span>

Can a cell live without a cell membrane or <br><br> Chloroplast ?
xenn [34]
No bc Mitochondria are rod-shaped organelles that can be considered the power generators of the cell, converting oxygen and nutrients into adenosine triphosphate (ATP<span>). ATP is the chemical energy "currency" of the cell that powers the cell's metabolic activities. This process is called </span>aerobic respiration<span> and is the reason animals breathe oxygen. Without mitochondria (singular, mitochondrion), higher animals would likely not exist because their cells would only be able to obtain energy from anaerobic respiration (in the absence of oxygen), a process much less efficient than aerobic respiration. In fact, mitochondria enable cells to produce 15 times more ATP than they could otherwise, and complex animals, like humans, need large amounts of energy in order to survive.
