Question

In a negative feedback mechanism the response is ________ the stimulus.
A) to reduce
B) no change to
C) to enhance
D) none of the above

Accepted Answer

In a negative feedback mechanism, the response is to reduce the stimulus. This means that the body is attempting to maintain homeostasis by decreasing the output of a system in response to a detected increase in a particular variable. This allows the body to maintain a stable internal environment despite changes in external conditions.
