Options:

A prostaglandin

B protein hormone

C. peptide hormone

D. steroid hormone

Answer:

Amylin is peptidal harmone. Thus, the correct option is C.

<h3>What is hormone?</h3>

Hormones are the chemical messengers of the body. They make their way through your bloodstream to tissues and organs. They have a long-term effect on a variety of processes, including growth and development.

Amylin is a peptide hormone produced in tandem with insulin by the pancreatic -cell and is hence lacking in diabetics. It works as a satiety agent by inhibiting glucagon secretion and delaying stomach emptying. As a result, amylin replacement could potentially improve glycemic control in some diabetics.

Amylin is a 37-amino-acid peptide hormone released by pancreatic beta-cells in response to a food stimulation together with insulin. It is inadequate in Type 1 diabetes patients and increased in Type 2 diabetes patients in the early stages, a disease marked by hyperinsulinemia.

denis23 [38]

Hello good afternoon...God bless :) here is the answer to your following question...

Explanation:

Osmosis is important to cells because it allows them to maintain water homeostasis. The most important function of osmosis is stabilising the internal environment of an organism by keeping the water and intercellular fluids levels balanced. In all living organisms, nutrients and minerals make their way to the cells because of osmosis. This obviously is essential to the survival of a cell.

How many plant and animal species do wildlife experts estimate are endangered?
Burka [1]

The right answer is c. 3 to 10 million

The latest estimates are a bit more precise: there are 8.7 million living species (which is included in the range between 3 and 10 million), 6.5 million on land and 2.2 million in the water. Which is amazing, since there is more sea than land on our planet.

Researchers estimate that there are 7.77 million animal species, only 298,000 plant species and 611,000 species of fungi and molds.
