Learning Objectives:
LO 2.15 I can justify a claim made about the effect(s) on a biological system at the molecular, physiological or organismal level when given a scenario in which one or more
components within a negative regulatory system is altered. [See SP 6.1]
LO 2.16 I can connect how organisms use negative feedback to maintain their internal environments. [See SP 7.2]
LO 2.17 I can evaluate data that show the effect(s) of changes in concentrations of key molecules on negative feedback mechanisms. [See SP 5.3]
LO 2.18 I can make predictions about how organisms use negative feedback mechanisms to maintain their internal environments. [See SP 6.4]
LO 2.19 I Can make predictions about how positive feedback mechanisms amplify activities and processes in organisms based on scientific theories and models. [See SP 6.4]
LO 2.20 I am able to justify that positive feedback mechanisms amplify responses in organisms. [See SP 6.1]
