The vast majority of feedback loops in the body are NEGATIVE feedback loops.

• TRUE

• FALSE

Tags

NGSS.HS-LS1-3

When referring to feedback loops, NEGATIVE means

• an undesirable response; bad

• the response is to "negate" the problem (do the opposite)

• someone has a bad attitude

Tags

NGSS.HS-LS1-3

When referring to feedback loops, POSITIVE means

• a desirable response; good

• someone has a great attitude

• the response in to encourage or promote the original change

Select the 2 terms that refer to the same watery fluid.

• Cytosol

• extracellular fluid

• intracellular fluid

• cytoplasm

Can the solutes in the cytosol be in different concentrations than the same solutes in the extracellular fluid?

• NO. The job of the cell's membrane is to maintain equilibrium across the MB.

• Yes. That is the purpose of the MB; to create the correct environment for the cell.

Answer explanation

We would cease to exist if the solute concentrations were identical inside and outside of the cell. We NEED the concentration differences (called gradients) in order to send nerve impulses and achieve muscle contraction.
