When you eat a bag of cookies, your blood sugar level increases. As blood sugar levels rise, insulin levels increase to move the sugar into the cells and lower the blood sugar level. As the blood sugar level drops, so does the level of insulin. This is an example of

- negative feedback.

- solubility factors.

- enzymatic action.

- neurotransmitter activity.

- positive feedback.

Answer: It is an example of a negative feedback.

Explanation: When there is too much glucose in the blood, insulin is secreted by the pancreas resulting in glucose storage using the process of glycogenesis. This is called a negative feedback because it causes low blood glucose. It is sent to cells for storage instead of being used for energy production. Positive feedback tends to amplify production or process whereas a negative feedback; stops, reduces, moderate production or process.
