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.
Answer:
Explanation:
A mutation in DNA alters the mRNA, which in turn can alter the amino acid chain.
Answer:
Hormones act as first messenger but not as second messengers.
Explanation:
Second messenger act as signaling molecule which are secreted in response to various biological signals generated by first messenger such as hormones,neurotransmitters etc.Second messengers include various bioactive molecules such as cyclic AMP(cAMP),cyclic GMP(cGMP),inositol triphosphate(IP3),diacylglycerol(DAG),calcium ions(Ca2+) etc.
Hormones are extracellular signaling molecules whereas second messengers are intracellular signaling molecules.
Hi this would be called the blind spot. Hope this helps.
The equation is glucose+oxygen->carbon dioxide +water and energy in the form of ATP
