A. As carbon dioxide levels rise in the blood of a mammal, the rate of breathing increases, leading to a decrease in blood levels of carbon dioxide.
B. As global temperatures rise, more ice melts, leading to greater planetary absorption of sunlight and additional temperature increase.
C. The metabolic rate and energy consumption of grizzly bears decreases during hibernation.
D. Frog eggs hatch after five days of development at 28 degrees C but after 10 days of development at 23 degrees C.

A- Negative feedback occurs when the result of a process stops/slows down the rate of the initial process. In this example, the stimulus (high carbon dioxide) leads to a change (faster breathing which brings in oxygen) that reduces the stimulus.

In negative feedback, any change or deviation from the normal range of function is opposed, or resisted. The change or deviation in the controlled value initiates responses that bring the function of the organ or structure back to within the normal range.
