If a person uses up his or her reserve supply of glycogen and still does not eat, sugar comes from the muscle.

Although only liver glycogen directly contributes to the release of glucose into circulation, maintaining a healthy blood glucose concentration is one of the glycogen's key functions. Since skeletal muscles lack glucose 6-phosphatase, they are unable to release glucose, and muscle glycogen primarily serves as a local energy source for activity rather than a source of fuel to keep blood glucose levels stable while fasting.

In fact, the breakdown of muscle glycogen into lactate allows for its delivery to the liver, where it participates in the maintenance of euglycemia through the process of gluconeogenesis (Cori cycle).

Natasha2012 [34]

loblolly pine trees

Explanation:

Population density refers to the amount of organisms living in a particular area:

            Population density = \frac{number of organisms}{Area}

Area of the forest = 10acres

Population densities of:

  White-tailed deer = \frac{8 white tailed deer}{10acres}

                                 = 0.8white tailed deer/acres

   Coyotes = \frac{7 coyotes}{10acres}= 0.7coyotes/acres

   Armadillos = \frac{45 armadillos}{10acres} = 4.5armadillos/acres

   loblolly pine = \frac{231loblolly pine trees}{10acres} = 23.1loblolly pine trees/acre

The population with the highest density is that of the loblolly pine trees with 23.1 of the trees in an acre.

Under what environmental conditions would a zygote not undergo meiosis
sashaice [31]

A zygote will not undergo meiosis in an environmental state that is not favorable for the zygote’s survival i.e. the chance of the zygote to survive is not certain. Take for example, chlamydomonas will form a zygote under normal asexual mitotic reproduction in a favorable environmental condition. However, under unfavorable environmental conditions the organism also reproduce sexually to form a zygote but will never proceed to meiotic division because of the unfavorable environmental state.

<h3>What is negative feedback mechanism?</h3>

A negative feedback mechanism is the defined as a type of regulatory mechanism in the body where by the increased output of a system leads to a decrease of another system.

Therefore, the release of the hormone calcitonin (increased level of calcitonin in the blood) will lead to decrease in blood levels of calcium.
