16.

During childbirth, the baby pushes on the cervix causing release of oxytocin, which causes the uterus to contract, the cycle continues until the baby is born. This is an example of

a)

Negative feedback

b)

Positive feedback

c)

Inhibition of ATP

d)

RMR

e)

Basal metabolic rate exceeding the amount of ATP available

17.

A diet that is high in simple carbohydrates causes an increased release of glucose into the blood, which in turn causes the pancreas to release insulin to make cells take in the glucose, which can be deadly if not removed from the blood. This is an example of

Negative feedback

b)

Positive feedback

c)

Inhibition of ATP

d)

RMR

e)

Basal metabolic rate exceeding the amount of ATP available

18.

How does positive feedback differ from negative feedback?

a)

Positive feedback benefits the organism while negative feedback is detrimental.

b)

In positive feedback, the effector’s response is in the same direction as the initiating stimulus and negative feedback changes the direction of the stimulus.

In positive feedback, the effector increases some parameter, where negative feedback decreases it causing harm.

d)

Positive feedback has effectors and negative feedback has receptors.

e)

Positive feedback changes the direction of the stimulus, negative feedback maintains it.
