Question

Homeostasis Worksheet Always graph time on the horizontal (X) axis. Label your axes Problem 1: A patient's body temperature was recorded over a 24-hour period; the temperature at each hour is listed in the table below. Graph the data in the space provided and state whether it indicates negative or positive feedback. TIME 12 am 3 am 6 am 9 am 12 pm 3 pm 6 pm 9 pm TEMP, °F 98.30 98.10 98.40 98.90 98.70 98.50 98.60 98.80 TYPE OF FEEDBACK​

Answer 1

Answer:

If temperature drops, it is negative feedback whereas if the temperature increases, it is positive feedback.

Explanation:

When the temperature drops from 98.30 °F, it means it is a negative feedback because its response is negative while if the temperature increases from 98.30 °F, it means it is a positive feedback because its response is positive. From 12 am to 3 am which represents negative feedback, temperature decreases whereas from 3 am to 6 am, the temperature increases which indicates positive feedback. From 6 am to 9 am, again the temperature drops and this fall represents negative feedback and so on.
