When glucose levels in the blood rise, your brain sends a signal to your pancreas. The pancreas releases insulin, which opens channels in cell membranes to allow glucose to enter the cell, lowering blood sugar levels.

During Homeostasis...

• The sensor sends a message to the effector

• The effector sends a message to the control center

• The sensor sends a message to the control center

• The control center sends a message to the sensor

As the Earth warms, ice cover melts, exposing soil or water. Albedo decreases. More energy is absorbed by the Earth’s surface. Global temperature rises. More ice melts.

As the Earth warms, upper layers of permafrost melt, producing waterlogged soil above frozen ground. Methane gas is released into the environment. The greenhouse effect is enhanced. The Earth warms, melting more permafrost.

Which of the following best describes a positive feedback loop in a biological system?

• A) It stabilizes the system by reducing changes.

• B) It amplifies changes, leading to a greater response.

• C) It maintains equilibrium by counteracting changes.

• D) It has no effect on the system's stability.
