Question

which of the following statements about homeostasis is false? the control center orchestrates appropriate responses to deviations from the set point. the primary mechanism to maintain homeostasis is positive feedback. homeostasis is the maintenance of the internal environment. the organ systems work together to maintain homeostasis. disease can result if homeostasis is disrupted.

Explanation:

Homeostasis is the maintenance of a stable internal environment. The control center responds to deviations from a set - point, organ systems work together for homeostasis, and disease can occur if it's disrupted. The primary mechanism for homeostasis is negative feedback, not positive feedback. Positive feedback amplifies a change rather than maintaining stability.

Answer:

B. The primary mechanism to maintain homeostasis is positive feedback.
