energy

b)

insulin

glucose

d)

negative feedback

10.

What is the function of insulin?

neutral feedback loop 
b)
solar feedback loop
c)
positive feedback loop
d)
negative feedback loop
12.

15.

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. This is an example of a:

a)

Positive Feedback Loop

keep body temperature the same as the external temperature
b)
decrease body temperature
c)
increase body temperature
d)
regulate blood pressure
18.

If the calcium in your blood decreases below homeostasis levels, a gland in the brain will sense the decrease and send a chemical message to your bones. Your bones will release calcium into the blood, bringing blood calcium levels back up. This is an example of what type of feedback?

a)

Positive Feedback Response

b)

Negative Feedback Loop

19.

As you get dehydrated, your blood becomes thicker and harder to pump. Your kidneys will respond by stopping urine production, sending the water from urine into your bloodstream to thin your blood back to normal level. This is an example of what type of feedback?

a)

Positive Feedback Response

b)

Negative Feedback Loop

20.
