What body systems interact to maintain blood sugar levels in the body

Biology

Regulation of blood sugar levels in the body is a preserve of the endocrine system. The endocrine system of the body is the group of glands that produce hormones which regulate various processes of the body including blood sugar levels. During increase in blood sugar, the pancreas secretes insulin, a hormone produced by the beta cells in this gland. Insulin causes the fat cells, muscle cells and red blood cells to absorb sugar from the blood. During decrease in blood sugar levels, the pancreas again secretes glucagon from its alpha cells. Glucagon stimulates the liver to release the glucose stored in its cells. The adrenal gland also responds to low blood sugar levels by secreting cortisol which promotes the use of fatty acids to provide energy for working muscles rather than use glucose.

Ksenya-84 [330]

If a plant cell had a mutation such that the cyclic electron flow is observed at a much higher rate, which photosystem is most likely mutated such that energy is absorbed at a lower rate?

PSI

PSII

Answer:

PSII

Explanation:

Non-cyclic phosphorylation involves both PSI and PSII. The process starts with the splitting of water and excitation of electrons of the reaction center of PSII upon the absorption of solar energy at the wavelength of 680 nm. Any mutation in PSII would not allow the non-cyclic phosphorylation to occur when only cyclic phosphorylation would occur. The process of cyclic phosphorylation includes only PS I. Its reaction center absorbs maximum light at 700 nm and is cycled back while supporting ATP synthesis. Therefore, if a plant performs cyclic phosphorylation at a higher rate and absorbs less energy, this means that mutation was in PSII.
