Detailed explanation-1: -Feedback loops are important because they allow living organisms to maintain homeostasis. Homeostasis is the mechanism that enables us to keep our internal environment relatively constant – not too hot, or too cold, not too hungry or tired.
Detailed explanation-2: -A negative feedback loop reduces the effect of change and helps maintain balance. A positive feedback loop increases the effect of the change and produces instability.
Detailed explanation-3: -In negative feedback systems, the effector of a process reduces the effect of the stimulus which, in turn, decreases the production of the product. This is a more common process in living systems as it serves to maintain homeostasis, or the optimal internal environment of organisms.
