The hormone insulin stimulates the storage of triglycerides during times of energy excess.

Insulin is a peptide hormone produced by beta cells of the pancreatic islets encoded in humans by the INS gene. It is considered to be the main anabolic hormone of the body.

It regulates the metabolism of carbohydrates, fats and protein by promoting the absorption of glucose from the blood into liver, fat and skeletal muscle cells. In these tissues the absorbed glucose is converted into either glycogen via glycogenesis or fats (triglycerides) via lipogenesis, or, in the case of the liver, into both.

Glucose production and secretion by the liver is strongly inhibited by high concentrations of insulin in the blood. Circulating insulin also affects the synthesis of proteins in a wide variety of tissues. It is therefore an anabolic hormone, promoting the conversion of small molecules in the blood into large molecules inside the cells. Low insulin levels in the blood have the opposite effect by promoting widespread catabolism, especially of reserve body fat.

Full question :

Q. The hormone ___________ stimulates the storage of triglycerides during times of energy excess, such as after a meal, by causing adipocytes, and to a lesser extent skeletal muscle, to take up glucose and fatty acids from the blood.

bija089 [108]

Answer:

Independent variable: Adding/not adding soil.

Dependent variables: Does the plant grow? Amount of leaves, plant length.

Controlled variables: Type of plant used, amount of sunlight received, pot used for plant, amount of water given, temperature of soil, etc.

Explanation:

Independent variable: The thing that you want to change. To see if plants need soil to grow, you would need to either add or remove soil altogether.

Dependent variables: The thing that is being measured. By adding your independent variable, you should be able to answer certain questions.

Controlled variables: Things you want to keep the same for each experimental group. For example, if you used different plants, your results could be affected negatively as some plants might rely on soil less than others/grow at a slower or faster pace.
