E

6. Why are so few processes positive feedback mechanisms?

a. Positive feedback mechanisms can be dangerous or fatal since they draw the body into unnatural situations b. Positive feedback mechanisms can be dangerous or fatal since it weakens the body and decreases metabolism rate c.

which can be unstable and if left unchecked can be dangerous or fatal d. Positive feedback mechanisms decrease the original stimulus to push the variable farther

there are more positive feedback mechanisms in our body than negative feedback mechanisms
