Answer:
E- All of the statements are true
Explanation:
Insulin and Glucagon are hormones, both secreted by the pancreas.
Insulin functions in the conversion of carbohydrates to glycogen which is stored in the body as glucose reserves. This implies therefore that:
- A carbohydrate rich meal will stimulate the increased production of insulin.
Glucagon on the other hand, works to breakdown the glucose reserves in situations such as fasting or increased physical activity to make energy available for the body. Glucagon also functions in gluconeogenesis which is the conversion of other nutrient molecules other than carbohydrate, such as amino acids and lactate into glucose to provide energy for the body.
The function of glucagon therefore implies that:
- A protein rich meal will increase glucagon secretion
- A carbohydrate rich meal will decrease glucagon secretion since it functions on other food molecules
- Exercise will increase glucagon secretion
Answer:
Singapore is one of the best natural harbors in the world, which has contributed to its development as one of the wealthiest states in the world.
As the statement in the question explains, Singapore is in the middle of worldwide shipping routes, not only those of neighboring Malaysia and Indonesia, but also routes that connect Asia with Africa and the Americas.
In fact, the port of Singapore is the second busiest port in the world, after the port of Shanghai.
