Question

appetite control is an example of a feedback loop. if someone has overeaten, the amount of glucose in the body increases too much. in response, fat cells release leptin, which leads to a decrease in neuropeptide y. as a result, hunger subsides. without additional food consumption, glucose levels in the body eventually decrease. complete the sentence. appetite control is an example of a ______ feedback loop. positive negative

Explanation:

Negative feedback loops work to reverse changes in the body. In this case, when glucose levels rise (due to overeating), leptin is released, which decreases neuropeptide Y and thus hunger. This then leads to a decrease in glucose levels (as no more food is consumed), reversing the initial increase in glucose. Positive feedback loops would amplify a change, which is not the case here.

Answer:

negative
