Panel A. Channel proteins, similar to an open bridge, allows the molecules to move freely across them. (Vehicles = Molecules)
Panel B. Carrier proteins. Molecules 1st bind to carrier proteins & their conformational change in carrier protein causes transport of molecules to the other side (Like vehicles are boarded on a ferry, which then transports them to the other side).

ANSWER to this question-
This is a classic example of a feedforward control system.
To maintain core body temperature, the response is initiated by signals from cutaneous thermoreceptors in response to external cold. The brain anticipates a potential drop in core temperature and initiates shivering before the core temperature actually falls, preventing the disturbance.

Now tell me, how this differs from a typical negative feedback mechanism

Think about this…
You step into a cold environment.
Before your core body temperature falls significantly, you start shivering.
🤔 Why does the body respond before the disturbance actually occurs?
