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.

marin [14]

Answer:

En resultados

Explanation:

El experimento se basa en analizar el movimiento de la planta en respuesta a la luz solar, desde distintas posiciones:

  • planta parada
  • planta semiacostada
  • planta acostada

Durante su experimento, Pedro debe ir registrando los movimientos que observa en las distintas plantas a medida que recibe la luz del sol. El registro de dichos movimientos ante el estímulo forma parte de los resultados.

- Objetivo o propósito del trabajo: analizar la influencia de la luz solar como estimulo para generar un movimiento en plantas desde distintas posiciones.

- Procedimiento: Ubicación de plantas en distintas posiciones y bajo las mismas condiciones ambientales. Exposición de todas las plantas a la misma cantidad de radiación solar. Observación del movimiento durante un periodo de tiempo determinado.

- Resultados: Registro del movimiento de cada planta en cada posición durante el periodo de tiempo que fueron expuestas a radiación. En esta instancia de vuelca en tablas o gráficos, o se describe qué fué lo que se observó durante el experimento. Cuál fue la respuesta de cada una de las plantas.

- Conclusión: Relación entre lo esperado y lo observado. Comparación con otros trabajos similares.

Because the new use of cells most often lead to this "grey area" in ethics as it is a new area of science and our society is not yet conditioned to this scientific breakthough. As there is no "moral code" on human cell use, ethical objections can arise and led to conflicts.
