What is negative feedback? Give an example.

All living species exhibit genetic change from generation to generation and therefore
evolve.

Unlike the other characteristics of life, evolution is a characteristic seen only in the
population as a whole. No single individual evolves over the course of its life.

a process in which the body senses a change and activates mechanisms that negate or
reverse it.

Ex: If your body is too warm, the vessels will dilate in the skin and sweating will start. Sweat
brings body heat to the skins surface therefore cooling you down.
(Heat losing mechanism)

-To protect vital internal organs from accidental shock

-To allow for any possible change in shape and size of organs, while still maintaining the
organ system's integrity
