Answer 1

During Homeostasis to maintain the internal environment body tends to show positive or negative feedback. Body either tries to get back to normal from an abnormal alleviation or amplifies the normal point.

Attaining back the normal situation is done by negative feedback mechanism.

When body changes the internal environment from normal point and amplifies it then it shows positive feedback mechanism. So in this case it shows positive feedback mechanism.
