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.

1. How does our ecological footprint affect each of the spheres on Earth?
Viefleur [7K]
Lithosphere (or geosphere) describes all the rocks, minerals and molten magma found on or in the Earth

The hydrosphere describes all the water on Earth – including liquid water (oceans, etc.) and vapour (precipitation)

The atmosphere describes the layer of gases surrounding the Earth and is divided into sections (stratosphere, etc.)

The biosphere is composed of all the living organisms on the planet (including plants, animals, bacteria, etc.)


The four spheres are interconnected, so human impact on one sphere will potentially effect other spheres

The release of plastic pollution into the oceans (hydrosphere) will impact on marine life (biosphere)

The production and release of CFCs into the atmosphere will effect the impact of UV radiation on the biosphere
