Homeostasis

When you are cold, you shiver and your blood vessels contract, which warms you up. When you are hot, you sweat and your blood vessels expand, which cools you down.

The ultimate cause of death

Earth warms → Increased evaporation which produces more clouds → More reflection of light away from Earth → Temperature falls → Rates of evaporation fall

Is this situation amplifying or stabilize?

Earth warms → Increased evaporation which produces more clouds → More reflection of light away from Earth → Temperature falls → Rates of evaporation fall

Earth warms → Ice cover melts, exposing soil or water → More heat is absorbed by Earth’s surface  → Global temperature rises →  More ice melts

Earth warms → Ice cover melts, exposing soil or water → More heat is absorbed by Earth’s surface  → Global temperature rises →  More ice melts

Humans cut down trees for lumber → Deforestation loosens the soil → Water flow erodes unstable soil → Remaining unstable, low quality, soil can no longer sustain trees → More deforestation occurs

Humans cut down trees for lumber → Deforestation loosens the soil → Water flow erodes unstable soil → Remaining unstable, low quality, soil can no longer sustain trees → More deforestation occurs

Rabbit population decreases when eaten by foxes → Less food causes fox population to decrease → Less predators causes rabbit population to increase → More food causes fox population to increase → Rabbit population decreases when eaten by foxes

Rabbit population decreases when eaten by foxes → Less food causes fox population to decrease → Less predators causes rabbit population to increase → More food causes fox population to increase → Rabbit population decreases when eaten by foxes

When the product of a reaction leads to an INCREASE in that reaction

Occurs when the product of a reaction leads to a DECREASE in that reaction. Counteracts what is happening.

Body temp is 98.6 --> body temp decreases --> shivering occurs --> body

Get a cut and start bleeding --> Platelets come to site and clump together & send signals for more platelets to come --> More platelets come & release more signals

Get a cut and start bleeding --> Platelets come to site and clump together & send signals for more platelets to come --> More platelets come & release more signals

Body temp is 98.6 --> body temp increase --> sweating occurs --> body temp decreases

In which case(s) would your body need to carry out negative feedback proccesses?

Which of these would your body do if its temperature dropped below optimum?

Which of these would your body do if its temperature was above optimum?

Which organ in the body produces the hormones insulin and glucagon?

Which organ in the body converts glucose into glycogen and vice versa?

If the blood glucose levels rise above optimum, the ______ will release ______ which will cause the _______ to convert _______ into ________ for storage, so glucose is taken out of the blood and the levels return to normal.

If the blood glucose levels fall below optimum, the ______ will release ______ which will cause the _______ to convert _______ into ________ for release back into the blood and the levels return to normal.
