  • Which of the following does leading not involve? a) Motivating b) Directing c) Controlling d) Planning

    d) Planning
  • How does feedback inhibition help the body maintain homeostasis?

    Feedback inhibition helps maintain homeostasis by regulating enzyme activity, preventing overproduction of substances, and ensuring balance within the body's systems.
  • Which of the following is a learned response? a) Salivating at the sight of food b) Pulling hand away from a hot surface c) Feeling anxious before a test d) Blinking when something approaches the eye

    c) Feeling anxious before a test
  • What is the purpose of a control in an experiment?

    The purpose of a control in an experiment is to provide a standard for comparison, ensuring that the results are due to the variable being tested and not other factors.
  • Which of the following is the best example of an unconditioned response? a) Salivating when food is in the mouth b) Salivating when a bell rings c) Feeling happy when receiving a gift d) Feeling anxious before a test

    a) Salivating when food is in the mouth
  • How does feedback regulation regulate enzyme activity?

    Feedback regulation controls enzyme activity by using the end product of a pathway to inhibit an enzyme involved in its production, thus preventing overproduction.
  • Which of the following is the correct order of steps in controlling? a) Setting standards, Measuring performance, Comparing with standards, Taking corrective action b) Measuring performance, Setting standards, Comparing with standards, Taking corrective action c) Comparing with standards, Setting standards, Measuring performance, Taking corrective action d) Taking corrective action, Setting standards, Measuring performance, Comparing with standards

    a) Setting standards, Measuring performance, Comparing with standards, Taking corrective action

    b) Negative feedback loops help maintain homeostasis
  • Which of the following statements is true concerning feedback mechanisms?

    Feedback mechanisms are essential for maintaining homeostasis, with negative feedback loops being more common as they stabilize systems by counteracting changes.
  • What is the difference between voluntary and involuntary responses?

    Voluntary responses are consciously controlled actions, while involuntary responses occur automatically without conscious control.
  • In classical conditioning, what is the role of the conditioned stimulus?

    In classical conditioning, the conditioned stimulus is a previously neutral stimulus that, after association with an unconditioned stimulus, triggers a conditioned response.
