    Discuss the role of negative feedback in living organisms and how it benefits these living organisms? (25 marks) Negative feedback is the process by which changes occur to bring an organism’s internal environment back to the normal level. One example of negative feedback in a living organism is the ways humans regulate their blood glucose levels.

    reactions that the living cells and organisms use to maintain life. It also divides into two categories: Catabolism – that breakdown the molecules to obtain energy and Anabolism – that creates all of the compounds that the cells need to function. Nutrition is an important part of the availability of nutrients that utilized in the reactions that either synthesize or catabolize the material that is employed by the cells to produce power. This power is a requirement by the organism to synthesize proteins

    DESIGN ASPECT 1: Defining the Problem and Selecting Variables CELLS are the basic unit of structure in all organisms and the smallest unit of life. All living things are made of cells. Multicellular organisms (humans) are composed of many cells. Unicellular organisms (bacteria) are composed of only one cell. Existing cells come from other pre-existing cells and cannot be created from non-living materials. All cells are surrounded with membrane called CELL MEMBRANE (PLASMA MEMBRANE). Plasma membrane

    Osmosis is the spontaneous net movement of solvent molecules through a partially permeable membrane into a region of higher solute concentration‚ in the direction that tends to equalize the solute concentrations on the two sides.[1][2][3] It may also be used to describe a physical process in which any solvent moves‚ without input of energy‚[4] across a semipermeable membrane (permeable to the solvent‚ but not the solute) separating two solutions of different concentrations.[5] Although osmosis does
