If you stick your hand in a fire, it will hurt. That is negative feedback. Pain receptors are a very important survival adaptation. Without them, living things would be extremely damage-prone.

What are organisms in science?
living things example: Humans are organisms and plants are organisms the opposite is non-living things such as: soil,air,sunlight,and water
What is non living organisms?
A nonliving organism is a thing that is not living or functioning at all. Example: car, cell phone, pencil,
Which is an example of the way matter cycles through the bodies of living organisms?
Salmon eating shrimp
What is the difference between living cells that are organisms and living cells are not organisms?
Single celled organisms are examples of living cells that are organisms. Most other living cells are parts of living organisms, but could not survive long on their own.
Are the cells of your body considered organisms?
They are living, but they are not organisms. Cells are the "building blocks" of tissues, which group together into organs, which group together into organ systems. Those organ systems comprise an organism. The individuals cells are not organisms themselves.
What are two types of feedback mechanisms found in living organisms?
positive feedback - increase activity negative feedback - decrease activity
What is nagative feedback?
Negative feedback is a system by which internal conditions are kept within set limits. For example your home thermostat has a thermometer which detects when the temperature of your home drops below room temperature which triggers a response, the heating is turned on. When your home is brought back to room temperature, the response is turned off to prevent the temperature getting too high. In living organisms examples include: solute concentration of the blood/tissue fluid (which affects the water potential of cells and the cytoplasmic reactions that can occur), internal body temperature (must be kept close to the optimal operating temperature of metabolic enzymes within the cells), changes in pH etc.

Feeding on living oraganism?
A parasite feeds on living organisms. Tapeworms are an example of a parasite.
An example of parallel choices in a key is?
An example of parallel choices in a key is when a piece of music alternates between two chords that are both diatonic to a specific key. For instance, in the key of C major, the progression C major to F major could be considered parallel choices as they both belong to the key of C major.
What are all living organisms on earth similar?
All living organisms' bodies are made to reproduce. For example, plants pollinate, terrestrial organisms have penis' and vaginas and even bacteria multiply a-sexually.
What way are all living organisms on earth?
All living organisms' bodies are made to reproduce. For example, plants pollinate, terrestrial organisms have penis' and vaginas and even bacteria multiply a-sexually.
Where diffusion occur in living organisms?
Diffusion is one of the processes of transferring materials within the cells of living organisms. An example of diffusion is the exchange of gases in the lungs.
Which living organisms are importants in ecosystem?
The living organisms that are dominant in a particular ecosystem depends on the ecosystem. In the rainforest for example, plants are the dominant organisms. In the desert, the animals are the dominant organisms.
What are the example of biotic?
biotic factors are the living organisms that make up an ecosystem.
What is the effect destruction of natural resources in living organism?
The destruction of natural resources in living organisms can have a negative effect on the ecosystem. destroying the environment where an organism lives can reduce the number of organisms in the area.
What conditions are necessary for an ecosystem to be self sustaining?
The ecosystem should have, in general, effective negative feedback relations between it's elements. For instance, a simplest ecosystem "predator-prey-limit" possess 1 negative feedback relation: 1. The more predators are, the less prey is. The less predators are, the more prey is. The other relation in this system is positive feedback: 2. The more prey is, the more predators are. The less prey is, the less predators are. If there would be no negative feedback relation (1), then population of both predators and prey would reach ecosystem limit (alimentary and/or area) and then extinct. rowlat@gmail.com
