Describe negative feedback. |
Negative feedback is when the effector opposes the stimulus and reverses the direction of change. |
|
Things that affect chemical reaction: |
1. temperature, heat speeds up molecular movement, increasing the frequency in force of collisions between molecules. 2. Concentration: concentrated solutions molecules are more densely packed increasing the rate of pollution. 3. Catalysts, these are the chemical substances that speed up the rate of reaction. |
