Think about how your body responds when you ingest a huge amount of sugar. is your body’s response an example of positive or negative feedback? explain your reasoning.

A negative feedback response is generated to lower down the blood sugar level.

Explanation:

When a person consumes a huge amount of sugar, the blood sugar levels are increased beyond the normal range. This deviation from the homeostasis is counteracted by the body. There is an increased secretion of insulin hormone from the pancreas. Insulin triggers the body cells to take up the extra sugar present in the blood to restore its normal range. Since the body generates a response to oppose the increased blood sugar level, it is an example of negative feedback.
