The given statement is TRUE.
A positive feedback loop causes a self amplifying cycle in which a physiological change leads to even greater change in the same direction.
A negative feedback loop is a process in which the body senses a change, and activates mechanisms to reverse that change.
What is a positive feedback loop?
In nature, a positive feedback loop happens when the outcome of a reaction increases that reaction. A positive feedback loop pushes a system further away from the equilibrium goal if we consider a system in homeostasis. It takes place when something needs to happen quickly and does this by enhancing the effects of a product or event.
<u>Example</u> : Ripening of fruit
In nature, there is a strange phenomenon when a tree or bush may suddenly and silently begin to ripen all of its fruit or veggies. This is the first instance of a beneficial biological feedback loop we've found. If we see an apple tree with many apples, they all appear to ripen over night, going from being unripe to ripe to overripe. The first apple to ripen will mark the start of this. It releases ethylene (C2H4) via its skin when it is ripe. The apples nearby ripen as a result of being exposed to this gas. As soon as they are ripe, they too begin to generate ethylene, which continues to ripen the rest of the tree in a manner akin to a wave.

Cheese is also an excellent source of protein!
The reasons are:
- the blood is very low on nutrition
- the leech is not feeding itself regularly
The leech slows it metabolism a lot, so it can survive on very low nutrition. The blood is very low on nutrition, and it is the leech's food source, so the evolution made it preserve energy.
The leach doesn't have the opportunity to feed itself on regular basis, so it takes maximum advantage of any opportunity and consumes as much blood as possible so that it can survive long term when it will not have food at disposal.
1. Amphibians has moist slimy skin meanwhile fish has scales.
2. Fish uses gills for breathing, but amphibians are different. Young ones uses gills, but adult amphibians uses lungs and even skin for breathing.
Examples of amphibians include frogs and toads.
Both fish and amphibians are one of the 5 types of vertebrates under animals. Besides fish and amphibians, other vertebrates includes mammals, reptiles and birds.
