Some homeostatic imbalances cause a variable that is normally controlled by negative feedback to be abnormally controlled by pos

itive feedback. True or false?

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Some deviations from normal homeostasis activate the positive feedback loops to control the conditions which are otherwise regulated by negative feedback mechanisms.

For example, the blood levels of respiratory gases and H+ ions are regulated by a negative feedback system via chemoreceptors. The increased partial pressure of carbon dioxide gas and lowered pH or lowered partial pressure of oxygen in the blood are sense by central and peripheral chemoreceptors which in turn activate the neurons of the dorsal respiratory group (DRG).

The activated DRG triggers an increased in the rate and depth of the breathing to facilitate the inhalation of more oxygen and exhalation of CO2 to restore the normal levels.  

However, hypocapnia inactivates the chemoreceptors and does not allow negative feedback to restore the normal CO2 levels in the blood.  

Under such conditions, the positive feedback loop stimulates the DRG neurons more strongly in response to the increased partial pressure of CO2 above the normal levels than when the partial pressure of oxygen falls below the normal level. These dangerously lowered oxygen levels may also cause fainting.

Place the following materials in the order in which they are likely to fossilize. Begin with the material that is most likely to
marusya05 [52]

Answer: correct order--->

1)mammal teeth

2.)bones of an adult mammal quickly buried

3.) bones of an adult mammal left on the surface

4.)soft body parts of any animals

Explanation:

Fossilization is the ability of an organism to be preserved and remain unaltered for a very long time. Through research , it has been found out that Harder  parts of the body tend to remain preserved for a long time  because they  naturally have minerals deposited in them and may only be reduced,  but the softer part or tissues do not get preserved for a long time because being made up of polymer can be disintegrated easily by natural biological and physical processes.

The order of which material will likely fossilize is

1.)mammal teeth

2.)bones of an adult mammal quickly buried

3.) bones of an adult mammal left on the surface

4.)soft body parts of any animals

Reason,

--Teeth and bones biologically contain calcium but the teeth is more tougher and durable than the bone, Even when a  body is decomposed, the teeth most times are not  affected at all.

Bones of an adult mammal left on the surface will decompose faster than the one buried because of the biological (natural decomposing ) and physical processes(temperature, wind, sunglight, rainfall ) which will both act on it at the same time because of its exposure.

- soft body parts of any animals will decompose fastest as bacteria will feed on it immediately since it lacks minerals that can elongate preservation.
