lo 1.5. negative feedback ___
occurs to reduce the change or output: the result of a reaction is reduced to bring the system back to a stable state.
is a process that occurs only in biological systems.
is a result of a reaction that is irreversible and leads to system instability.
is a phenomenon that only occurs in the presence of positive feedback.
is a type of amplification that results in an unstable system.
occurs to increase the change or output: the result of a reaction is magnified to bring the system back to a stable state.

Explanation:

Negative feedback is a regulatory mechanism in which the output of a process reduces the initial change, helping to maintain a stable internal environment (homeostasis). It is not exclusive to biological systems, is reversible, and does not lead to instability or require positive feedback to occur. It is not an amplification process that causes instability.

Answer:

occurs to reduce the change or output: the result of a reaction is reduced to bring the system back to a stable state.
