Discussion Question 1. Each characteristic of life is related to body metabolism. Explain how digestion, circulation, and growth are metabolically related.
Discussion Question 2. When driving in traffic, it is important to stay in your own lane. If you see that you are drifting out of your lane, your brain tells your arms and hands to move in such a way that you get back in your lane. Identify the three components of a control loop in this example. Explain why this would be a negative feedback loop.
Discussion Question 3. When muscle cells become starved for oxygen, they will send a chemical signal to nearby blood vessels to dilate (expand) and thereby increase blood flow. Is this an example of negative feedback or positive feedback? Is this an example of intracellular, intrinsic, or extrinsic control?
