Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Negative feedback loops are used to maintain homeostasis and achieve the set point within a system. Negative feedback loops are characterized by their ability to either increase or decrease a stimulus, inhibiting the ability of the stimulus to continue as it did prior to sensing of the receptor.

Detailed explanation-2: -A negative feedback mechanism is an important type of control that is found in homeostasis. It responds when conditions change from the ideal or set point and returns conditions to this set point. There is a continuous cycle of events in negative feedback.

Detailed explanation-3: -What is an example of positive feedback in homeostasis? Let’s take a look at some of the examples: clot formation, childbirth, fruit ripening, and menstrual cycle. Each one depicts what a positive feedback mechanism is like: Clotting factors are released to seal a wound.

Detailed explanation-4: -Answer and Explanation: No, positive feedback mechanisms are not used to maintain homeostasis because it amplifies a condition in which it only helps take the process further if it is not present in sufficient amount in the organism.
