Question

In a negative feedback mechanism, the response directs the system to operate in a similar direction. For example, if an individual is cold, the negative feedback mechanism would direct the body to become colder. True or false?

Answer 1

Answer: False

Explanation:

The NEGATIVE FEEDBACK MECHANISM is a way for the body to maintain HOMEOSTASIS. That is, the maintenance of a constant internal environment. With a Negative Feedback Mechanism, the body acts in the opposite direction which means that if the body is cold, the response is to make the body warmer.
