Answer:

Dry eyes

Explanation:

The lacrimal glands are two glands, one for each eye, that produce the aqueous layer of the tear film. The lacrimal glands produce tears which then flow into canals that connect to the lacrimal sac. From this sac, the tears drain through the lacrimal duct into the nose. A symptom of an under-producing lacrimal gland would be dry eyes.

A symptom would be dry eyes, since this is the gland in your eye that produces tear film.

Answer:

The correct answer is (b) epinephrine.

Explanation:

Epinephrine, also known as <em>Adrenaline</em>, is a hormone secreted by the medulla of the adrenal glands.

In medicine, epinephrine is used as a stimulant in cardiac arrest, as a vasoconstrictor in shock and as a bronchodilator and antispasmodic in bronchial asthma.

When epinephrine is inhaled in small doses, it causes short-term relief from the symptoms by widening the bronchial tubes allowing air to pass through.

hodyreva [135]

Answer: glycogen is insoluble in water

Explanation:

Glycogen is a better storage of glucose because Glycogen is insoluble in water thus, because of the glycosidic linkages. Storing glucose as glycogen will not upset the osmotic pressure rather than glucose which is soluble in water and if it is stored as glucose it will disturb the osmotic pressure making the solution hypertonic that will cause the cell to lyse.

The glucose from glycogen is readily mobilized and is therefore a good source of energy when needed rather than free floating glucose
