Homeostatic mechanisms based on negative feedback ensure that when a variable, like blood sugar level, increases, the body responds by decreasing it, and vice versa. This feedback mechanism helps maintain a stable internal environment in the body. Therefore, if blood sugar levels rise, a negative feedback mechanism will be responsible for returning the levels back to normal.
