Use the information below to answer the following item.

Hummingbirds need large amounts of energy to flap their wings between 60 and 200 times per second. Their wings beat so rapidly that it is difficult to see them move. They often appear suspended in air for extended periods of time without changing their location. Hummingbirds have long bills and grooved tongues to reach into flowers to feed on flower nectar. They also feed on insects.

      Sensors, control centers, communication systems, and targets work together in what is known as a feedback loop. Feedback is information from sensors that allows a control center to compare current conditions to a set of ideal values. In a feedback loop, information moves continuously among sensors, a control center, and a target. Negative feedback loops counteract any change that moves conditions above or below a set point. For instance, if your fluid balance falls below a set point, your brain sends signals that cause you to drink more. Positive feedback loops increase change away from set points. In an emergency, for example, adrenaline pours into your system to give you more strength until the emergency is over.
 

 26. 
This type of feedback  increases change in a way that enables the body to accomplish a specific task. Example: blood clotting to begin healing a wound
A
Positive feedback
B
Negative feedback
 

 27. 
This type of feedback counteracts a change in a way that helps bring the body back to normal. Example: breathing faster while running to keep oxygen moving into muscle cells.
A
Positive feedback
B
Negative Feedback

A
Positive feedback

Negative feedback
 

 29. 
Human growth hormone is produced during the years that a child’s body is growing. When adulthood is reached, the body’s cells no longer need the same amount of growth hormone, so hormone production is reduced. This response is an example of -
A
Positive feedback
B
Negative feedback
 

 30.
