Guide Questions:
• Response: Pancreas releases insulin to promote glucose uptake by cells and storage
as glycogen, lowering blood glucose levels.
• Outcome: Blood glucose levels return to normal (homeostasis), and insulin
secretion decreases.
• Stimulus: Increase in room temperature above the set point (desired temperature).
• Response: Thermostat detects the increase and activates the air conditioning system.
• Outcome: Air conditioning cools the room back to the set point.
• Explanation: In this scenario, the negative feedback loop maintains a stable room
temperature by detecting deviations (rise in temperature) and initiating corrective
actions (cooling) to restore the desired state (desired room temperature). Once the
temperature returns to the set point, the air conditioning system stops, demonstrating
the concept of negative feedback in everyday life.
