    maintain homeostasis. What would happen if our thermoregulation (temperature control) used a positive feedback to maintain homeostasis? There are two feedback mechanisms our body uses to maintain homeostasis‚ they are negative feedback and positive feedback. Both feedbacks signal a response to the situation. Negative feedback however will correct the situation where positive feedback drags the process on or exaggerates the situation. If our thermoregulation used a positive feedback to maintain homeostasis

    and wellbeing. The structure of the skin is important in ensuring these functions can be performed. The skin provides a reasonably waterproof layer for the body and offers protection as a main function‚ as well as other key functions including thermoregulation and sensation. Other functions of the skin involve absorption and secretion of fluids and substances‚ and synthesis of vitamin D. This essay will outline the structure of the skin and describe in detail the skins functions while also highlighting

    The goal of this study was to measure the oxygen consumption of goldfish in an ambient environment and dark environment and calculate if there was any difference in metabolism based on oxygen consumption. The experimental hypothesis was that the metabolic rate of the goldfish as measured by oxygen consumption differs in a dark environment than in an ambient environment. The null hypothesis was that the metabolic rate of the gold fish as measured by oxygen consumption does not differ in darkness versus
