Which of the following statements about negative feedback is true?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Negative feedback is a type of regulation in which a process is slowed down or stops when a set point is reached. This helps to maintain a stable internal environment, or homeostasis. Option A is incorrect because negative feedback does not necessarily stop a process before it reaches its set point, but only once it reaches it. Option B is also incorrect because the set point is determined independently of negative feedback. Option D is not true because negative feedback and positive feedback are two independent types of regulation.
