Is the following an example of a. Negative feedback loop b. Positive feedback loop Hydrochloric acid and pepsin are enzymes secr

eted by cells in your stomach to digest proteins. The presence of partially digested protein in the stomach triggers the secretion of more hydrochloric acid and pepsin. Thus, once digestion begins, it becomes a self-accelerating process. Is the following an example of a. Negative feedback loop b. Positive feedback loop

Answer:  This is a positive feedback loop.

Explanation:

The protein digestion in the body is an example of the positive feedback. The gastric secretions is stimulated chiefly by the action of three chemicals.

These chemicals are acetylcholine, histamin and gastrin. These chemicals stimulate the parietal cells to secrete HCL and intrinsic factors.

The chief cells secrete pepsinogen in response to the gastrin and ACh. As the dietary proteins are digested, it breaks down the amino acids and peptides.

This stimulates the G cells of the stomach to secrete more gastrin. This is how the positive feedback loop for the protein digestion works.

Why is it important for signal transduction systems to trigger a rapid response within a cell and be able to be shut down quickl
lorasvet [3.4K]

-All signal transduction cascades are shut down immediately so as to prevent the cell from mounting a response.

-Cells are unable to respond quickly to hormones, and therefore signal transduction cascades always occur over a long time.

-Cells have to be able to function alone, because they are unable to work together in a coordinated fashion.

-Cells often have to respond very quickly to changes in their internal and external environments.
