• solar feedback loop
• positive feedback loop
• negative feedback loop

chemical made by glands that tell cells to make something or respond in some way.

• acid
• enzyme
• perspiration
• hormone

Three levels maintained by homeostasis in the body are:

• Blood Glucose Level

• Water and Ion Level of Blood

• Temperature

• Protein Level
