How do positive and negative feedback loops differ?

Biology
1 answer:
Lesechka [4]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Positive and negative feedback differs in that positive feedback loops increase the initial signal, while negative feedback loops decrease the original signal (option d).

Explanation:

Feedback is a process that, applied to biological systems, allows for the changes needed to maintain homeostasis.

  • Negative feedback loop occurs when a stimulus is presented, producing a change in the body, so the response is to stop the change that is occurring. It is the most frequent type of feedback and has the greatest impact on homeostasis.                                                                                                          An example of negative feedback is a decrease in body temperature through sweating.
  • Positive feedback loop occurs when the stimulus produces a change and promotes a response that reinforces that change.                                           The classic example of positive feedback is the secretion of oxytocin, promoted by uterine contractions, whose effect is to increase those contractions, allowing labor.

<em>In summary, </em><u><em>positive feedback loop acts by increasing an action or signal in the body, while the negative feedback loop reduces or stops the action or signal that occurs</em></u><em>.</em>

MatroZZZ [7]

Answer: The body systems that are involved are:

--> Nervous System and

--> muscular system.

Explanation:

The body is made up of different organ systems which usually works together to bring about proper functioning of the living organism. Examples of the body systems includes:

--> The nervous system: This system enables the animal to detect and respond to stimuli rapidly.

--> The muscular system: This system enables the organism to move from one location to another.

Both the nervous system and the muscular system work together to bring about coordination of activities. When you step on a tack and jeck away, sensory receptors detects stimuli from the external environment and pass the information received as an electrical impulses to the brain through the nerve fibres. The information is processed in the central processing region which is the brain.

The effectors such as the muscles goes into action upon receiving nerve impulses from the brain. Such actions includes muscular contractions which helps you to pick up the tack and put it on your desk.

1. Which type of antibiotic (broad spectrum/narrow spectrum) is more effective in an emergency situation where the pathogen is u
Lelu [443]

Answer:

A. broad spectrum

Explanation:

An antibiotic is a substance that has the capability to inhibit the growth of or kill bacteria.

A broad spectrum antibiotic has the capability to be inhibit or kill a wide range of bacteria species while a narrow spectrum can only operate within a narrow range of bacteria species.

<em>Hence, in a situation where the the causative organism of the disease (the pathogen) is not known, it is better to use a broad spectrum antibiotic because such antibiotic has a higher chance of eliminating the pathogen.</em>
