Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is e it depends primarily on positive feedback.

Explanation:

The term homeostasis deals with maintenance a constant or steady physiological state in our body.Homeostasis helps to maintain the level of all bio-active compounds such as hormones,vitamins,metabolites,antibodies,minerals within their normal cellular range.

      it is because disturbance or hamperence of normal cellular level of bio-active compounds cause various physiological abnormalities in our body for example increase blood glucose level results in diabetes.

    The term homeostasis depends on both positive feedback(to stimulate the production of bio-active compounds) and negative feedback(to inhibit the formation of bioactive compounds) according to our body"s need.
