How does positive feedback differ from negative feedback? | B) In positive feedback, the effector's response is in the same direction as the initiating stimulus rather than opposite to it. |
Which of the following is an important distinction between the measurement of basal metabolic rate (BMR) and standard metabolic rate (SMR)? | C) SMRs must be determined at a specific temperature. |
