Which of the following correctly describes how positive and negative feedback are different? Negative feedback reverses changes in a system, while positive feedback amplifies changes in a system., Positive feedback occurs only in response to stimuli, while negative feedback can occur in the absence of stimuli. Positive feedback moves a system closer to its set point, while negative feedback moves a system further from its set point. Negative feedback requires the detection of stimuli, while positive feedback functions independently of stimuli.
