Expert Solution

Answer) Feedback in general means reactions or responses. So it is a response within the human body. Feedback is important and in the absence of feedback, the body loses its ability to self-regulate.

The two types of feedback are:

Positive feedback
Negative feedback

In the negative feedback mechanism, the response is more towards the targeted area. Whereas in a positive feedback mechanism response is basically away from the targeted area.

The positive feedback leads to amplification of changes, so it leads to greater results/products. Whereas negative feedback causes a reduction in changes and leads to fewer results/products.

Negative Feedback	Positive Feedback
They occur more frequently	They occur less frequently.
It leads to a decrease in production rate thus leads to a reduction in response	It leads to an increase in production rate thus leading to more of a product/response
They cause more stability	They cause agitation due to increased response and hence are less stable.
