Given what we know, we can say that the home thermostat system does in fact work using a negative feedback loop,

<h3>What is a negative feedback loop?</h3>

A negative feedback loop is a regulatory system in which a product is produced until there is too much of it, the presence of this increased amount of product then acts as a stimulus to decrease the <u>production</u>.

The home thermostat is a negative feedback loop in that it:

First generates heat.
Then the heat reaches the desired temperature.
More heat is produced.
The thermostat notices the temperature is <u>above </u>the intended value.
It stops producing heat.

Therefore, we can confirm that since the thermostat uses a sensor to detect too much heat in the room and uses that to regulate the production of said heat, the home thermostat system does in fact work using a negative feedback loop.

Why does passive immunity for a new-born only lasts for a short time?

diamong [38]

The recipient will only temporarily benefit from passive immunity for as long as the antibodies persist in their circulation. This type of immunity is short acting, and is typically seen in cases where a patient needs immediate protection from a foreign body and cannot form antibodies quickly enough independently.

Hope this helps!

Have a great day!

<h2>Intestinal Epithelial Cells (IEC)</h2>

Explanation:

<em>Polarized intestinal epithelial cells (IEC),</em> as well as the resident microflora, provide a barrier that guards <em>against microbial invasion</em>
The necessity for the <em>epithelium </em>to maintain an intact barrier between <em>lumen bacteria</em> and the lamina propria is exemplified by the consequences after the barrier function is altered
Impairment of the barrier function of the <em>intestinal epithelium may be a predominant mechanism in the pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD)</em>

If water was removed from a plant's environment what would happen to the plant's glucose production?

Dima020 [189]

Answer:

It would cease

Explanation:

If water is removed from a plant's environment, the plant's glucose product will cease. This implies that the plant will stop producing glucose.

Water is an essential ingredient for the production of glucose by plants.
During the process of photosynthesis, green plants manufactures their food in the presence of sunlight.
The water combines with carbon dioxide to produce glucose oxygen gas using sunlight energy.
Without water, this reaction will not be possible to take place.
Therefore, the production of glucose stops when there is no water.
