What is the difference between positive and negative feedback cycles?

Biology
1 answer:
schepotkina [342]4 years ago
7 0

Positive feedback cycles always increase the response. Negative feedback cycles always decrease the response.

Positive and negative feedback mechanisms always work in antagonistic fashion to maintain a homeostatic balance of a parameter such as temperatures or pH in the body. Positive feedback is akin to a gas pedal while negative feedback is akin to a brake and reverse pedal.

Explanation:

An example of a parameter is blood sugar levels. Glucagon is a hormone responsible for positive feedback since it increases blood sugars when levels are low. Insulin, however, is a negative feedback hormone that reduces blood sugars levels when they are elevated. These two work antagonistically to maintain  the right sugar levels in the blood.

What is a slow, continuous process while what is sudden and less frequent.
vladimir2022 [97]

Explanation:

A slow, continuous process is defined as gradualism that occurs at slow rate but at a steady pace.

For example, stripes of a tiger develop slowly and at a steady pace so that they can hide in tall grass represents gradualism.

Whereas punctuated equilibrium is a process in which there is sudden and frequent changes that results in the formation of new species.  

For example, species living in a sea for thousand of years breed and die over there and suddenly when there is change in sea level than animals must adapt represents punctuated equilibrium.

Compare biomes of North Africa and iceland
Travka [436]

Answer with Explanation:

"Biome" refers to the flora (plant life) and fauna (animal life) of a particular place. It also includes the climate and specific conditions that allow the living organisms in the environment to survive.

The biome of North Africa consists of both desert biome and rainforest biome. It can be classified into a "savannah biome." This means that both the grassland and the woodland co-exist with each other. On the contrary, the biome in Iceland consists of a "tundra biome." The appearance of this biome is uniform and it is considered the coldest among all the other biomes.

Both of the biomes in North Africa and Iceland are different owing to their temperature, precipitation, nutrients from the soil and so on. The savannah biome consists of both wet and dry climates. These seasons allow the growth of both trees and grasslands. When it comes to the tundra biome, its temperature is extremely low. Thus, it doesn't allow many plants or trees to grow. However, it allows the growth of some unique types of wildlife such as the "Arctic fox."

Why do cells need to be able to transport things across their membranes
Annette [7]

Answer:

Cell membranes are selectively permeable which means it allow certain molecules to move across it into and out of the cell. Cells need to be able to transport these substances to live and grow.

Transport of ions, water maintains the osmotic pressure of the cell. Transport of sugars like glucose is necessary to generate energy for the metabolic activities of the cell. Gases like CO2 are waste products of metabolic reaction which are removed by the cell through the cell membrane. Amino acids are required to make proteins.  

Transport across cell can occur through active and passive transport and transport of these substance are necessary for a cell to live and function properly.

Which statement correctly describes amphipathic (or amphiphilic) helices and sheets?Helices are typically hydrophilic on one sur
Sloan [31]

Answer:

The correct answer is the last statement.

Explanation:

Amphipathic refers to a substance that comprises both hydrophobic and hydrophilic surfaces. Thus, the given first three statements are incorrect. The amphipathic helices are witnessed on the proteins surfaces in which the hydrophilic region associates with the aqueous phase and the hydrophobic regions associate with the hydrophobic component of the protein.  

Both the amphipathic sheets and helices exhibit primarily the hydrophobic or hydrophilic residues on one face. Thus, the correct answer is the last statement.
