Answer:

C

What’s one example of a real-world problem which you might use knowledge from biological anthropology to help solve?
LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

Biological anthropology shows that cultural contexts are useful to explain human evolution.

Explanation:

Biological anthropology is a research area focused on the study of biological and behavioral determinants associated with human evolution. Biological anthropology enables us to trace the evolutionary origins of hominids and primates in general. Moreover, this discipline also sheds light on how different environments act on the mechanism of natural selection and thus shape human behavior. However, biological anthropology should not be considered to be part of social Darwinism used to apply Darwin's ideas to social policies.

Compare positive and negative feedback mecha- nisms in a living and non-living system
Slav-nsk [51]

Positive feedback: breast feeding, giving birth, and blood clotting are two examples.

Negative feedback: Blood glucose levels, temperature control, and body temperature are two examples.

-Negative feedback: accumulation of an end product of a process slows that process.

-Positive feedback: the end product speeds up its own production. Regulation is important because without it we would bleed out from small cuts because we wouldn't be able to form blood clots. Or we wouldn't be able to form ATP. Regulatory mechanisms help us do the important tasks needed to sustain life.

Hope this helps! :)
