  2. Biochemical switches in the cell cycle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biochemical_switches_in...

    An example that reveals the interaction of the multiple negative and positive feedback loops is the activation of cyclin-dependent protein kinases, or Cdks14. Positive feedback loops play a role by switching cells from low to high Cdk-activity. The interaction between the two types of loops is evident in mitosis.

  3. Positive feedback - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Positive_feedback

    Audio feedback (also known as acoustic feedback, simply as feedback, or the Larsen effect) is a special kind of positive feedback which occurs when a sound loop exists between an audio input (for example, a microphone or guitar pickup) and an audio output (for example, a loudly-amplified loudspeaker).

  4. Climate change feedbacks - Wikipedia

    Thus, a positive feedback loop is formed, which continues until the negative feedbacks bring the system to equilibrium. [ 7 ] : 969 Increases in atmospheric water vapor have been detected from satellites , and calculations based on these observations place this feedback strength at 1.85 ± 0.32 m 2 /K.

  5. Negative feedback - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Negative_feedback

    A simple negative feedback system is descriptive, for example, of some electronic amplifiers. The feedback is negative if the loop gain AB is negative.. Negative feedback (or balancing feedback) occurs when some function of the output of a system, process, or mechanism is fed back in a manner that tends to reduce the fluctuations in the output, whether caused by changes in the input or by ...

  6. Homeostasis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homeostasis

    An effector is the target acted on, to bring about the change back to the normal state. At the cellular level, effectors include nuclear receptors that bring about changes in gene expression through up-regulation or down-regulation and act in negative feedback mechanisms. An example of this is in the control of bile acids in the liver. [4]

  7. Feedback - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feedback

    Positive feedback: If the signal feedback from output is in phase with the input signal, the feedback is called positive feedback. Negative feedback: If the signal feedback is out of phase by 180° with respect to the input signal, the feedback is called negative feedback. As an example of negative feedback, the diagram might represent a cruise ...

  8. Insulin signal transduction pathway - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insulin_signal...

    Feedback mechanism might involve negative and positive feedbacks. In the negative feedback, the pathway is inhibited and the result of the transduction pathway is reduced or limited. In positive feedback, the transduction pathway is promoted and stimulated to produce more products.

  9. Perceptual control theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perceptual_control_theory

    An example is a thermostat. In a living organism, reference values for controlled perceptual variables are endogenously maintained. Biological homeostasis and reflexes are simple, low-level examples. The discovery of mathematical principles of control introduced a way to model a negative feedback loop closed through the environment (circular ...
