Regulatory functions such as feedback loops are very common in nature and happen thousands of times every day within our bodies alone.

A feedback loop is one of the methods by which biological organisms regulate functions. Feedback loops are a <u>self</u>-<u>regulatory </u>means through which the <u>output </u>of a system is then used as the <u>input</u>. Feedback loops can be of two types:

  • Positive <u>Feedback</u>
  • Negative <u>Feedback</u>

A positive feedback loop is one in which the system is stimulated to <u>increase </u>the production of a product. For example, the<u> low levels </u>of an enzyme in the blood will cause the body to produce <u>more </u>of that enzyme in a positive feedback loop. A negative feedback loop is just the opposite, in which high levels will cause a decrease in production.

Feedback loops are a vital part of maintaining homeostasis and for the survival of all organisms. Therefore, we can conclude that option D is correct in stating that feedback loops are <u>common </u>in nature and make the system <u>stable</u>.

What similarities and differences do you see between the bacteria and the human cells? Are these cells prokaryotes or eukaryotes
Ainat [17]

Eukaryotic cells contain membrane-bound organelles, including a nucleus. Eukaryotes can be single-celled or multi-celled, such as you, me, plants, fungi, and insects. Bacteria are an example of prokaryotes. Prokaryotic cells do not contain a nucleus or any other membrane-bound organelle.
