How does a negative feedback system work and Explain how negative feedback regulates the amount of thyroxine in the blood?

When the amount of a particular hormone in the blood is reaches a certain level, the endocrine system sends signals to stop the release of that hormone. "Pearson Education Inc."


What is work in chemistry?

Work is energy lost from a contained system.


What is the first law of thermodynamics applied to closed and open system showing the meaning of the positive and negative sign of heat and work?

The first law of thermodynamics states that: "The internal energy of a system is a function of its state. Any increase in the internal energy of a system is equal to the sum of the heat supplied to the system and the work done on the system." In equations, this is stated as: DU = DQ + DW where DU is the INCREASE in internal energy DQ is the heat SUPPLIED DW is the work done ON the system So, if heat is lost by the system, it means that DQ is negative and if work is done by the system, it means that DW is negative. The best way to answer thermodynamics questions involving the first law is to think logically about what calculations should be made. If you do this, you will never make mistakes about signs.


Explain how frictional force is used to reduce the speed of a moving object?

Friction is a force that always acts in a direction opposite to that of motion. So the frictional force does negative work on the velocity of an object ( thus reducing the speed of an object).

How do you determine a work done is positive sign or negative sign?

If work is done on the system then it has a negative sign. If work is done by the system then it has a positive sign.


When do you say that the work done is positive or negative?

There are different conventions as to what work is negative and what work is positive. The convention used by engineers and physicists is that work done BY the system on its surroundings is positive while work done ON the system by its surroundings is negative. Chemists reverse these conventions.

Is the ADH feedback loop an example of positive or negative feedback explain?

The ADH feedback loop is an example of a negative feedback loop. Negative feedback loops occur when the output of a system acts to oppose the changes to the input of the system. This is the case with ADH because when there is not enough water, the hypothalamus and pituitary gland work to release ADH so that the body can retain more water.


Explain why the work done of sliding friction is negative when an object undergoes a dispalcement on a rough surface?

Work is done when a force is applied over a distance. If the force acts opposite the direction of motion, like friction, then the work is negative.


How does the endocrines system's negative feedback system work?

Through negative feedback when the amount of a particular hormone in he blood reaches a certain level the endocrine system sends signals that stop the release of hormone.


Can you describe how a negative feedback system works?

A negative F/B applies as applied to electronics systems meas that a portion of the output signal will be fed back to stabilize the system. It must be negative in nature so as to control the stability of the loop. If positive F/B is fed back then an uncontrollable situation will occurs whereby the system will oscillate uncontrollably As a rule the more negative F/B is applied the more stable the system. Also as a rule the more F/B the less gain is available to do work. So there is a trade off as stability increased the overall gain decreases.
