In this 15 minute video, Paul Andersen explains how feedback loops allow living organisms to maintain homeostasis. He uses thermoregulation in mammals to explain how a negative feedback loop functions. He uses fruit ripening to explain how a positive feedback loop functions. He also explains what can happen when a feedback loop is altered.

Also included is a concept map, slide show, worksheet and transcript of the video.
