A

<u>The total CO2 released by a person</u> is known as carbon footprint.

Explanation:

It is used to categorize the amount of carbon dioxide (and other greenhouse gases) that every human - due to human activities such as driving - are emitting into the atmosphere. It is equivalent to per capita carbon emission. The carbon footprint per person in the US, for example, is 16 tonnes which is also interpreted as the average production of carbon dioxide per person.

Countries are putting measures to curb increasing carbon footprints by enacting policies like a carbon tax and incentives towards renewable energy sources. This is in an effort to reduce global warming.

What is the difference between positive and negative feedback cycles?
schepotkina [342]

Positive feedback cycles always increase the response. Negative feedback cycles always decrease the response.

Positive and negative feedback mechanisms always work in antagonistic fashion to maintain a homeostatic balance of a parameter such as temperatures or pH in the body. Positive feedback is akin to a gas pedal while negative feedback is akin to a brake and reverse pedal.

Explanation:

An example of a parameter is blood sugar levels. Glucagon is a hormone responsible for positive feedback since it increases blood sugars when levels are low. Insulin, however, is a negative feedback hormone that reduces blood sugars levels when they are elevated. These two work antagonistically to maintain  the right sugar levels in the blood.
