When glucose levels in the blood increase after eating a meal, the pancreas secretes insulin to lower blood glucose levels back
Vladimir79 [104]

Answer:

This hormonal control of blood glucose levels is an examples of negative feedback response.

Explanation:

The blood glucose concentration maintain their concentration through negative feedback mechanisms.Alpha and beta cell present in pancreas. Alpha and beta cell  produced insulin and glucagon which act as a antagonistic hormones and control blood glucose level.

Insulin is secreted by beta cell.Beta cell secreted insulin when glucose level increased in the blood.Insulin helps to stimulate  liver to absorb glucose.Liver convert glucose to glycogen and adipose cells convert the glucose to the fat.In response, glucose concentration decreases in the blood, and insulin secretion discontinues (through negative feedback from declining levels of glucose)

Glucagon is secreted by alpha cells. when the concentration of blood glucose level drops then alpha cells secrete glucagon into the blood.Glucagon stimulates the liver for release of glucose. When blood glucose levels return to normal then glucagon secretion stopped.Its a negative feedback response.

The main site of secretion of all substances, except for one, is the proximal convoluted tubule. What is the one substance that
kogti [31]

Calcium is one substance that is secreted elsewhere but not in the proximal convoluted tubule.

<h3>Renal reabsorption and secretion</h3>

Renal reabsorption is defined as the movement of water and specific solutes from the renal tubule back into the plasma.

Renal secretion is defined as the process by which waste ions and hydrogen ions pass from the renal capillaries into the renal tubule to be excreted into the urine.

At the proximal convoluted tubule, calcium is reabsorbed but not secreted. Therefore, Calcium is one substance that is secreted elsewhere but not in the proximal convoluted tubule.

Why does having a genetically diverse population make a species more likely to survive a change to the environment?
Eddi Din [679]
Genetic adaptability is very important to the survival and adaptability of any specie. This is because, in a diverse population, the possibility of finding individuals with the right genetic adaptability to the changing environment is higher, the population will have more possible adaptations.

Ras is a GTP-binding protein involved in cell proliferation (division). In its active form, with GTP bound, Ras activates cell s
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

E. They decrease the rate at which Ras hydrolyzes GTP.

Explanation:

Activated Ras has GTP bound to it, this propagates an intracellular signal to the nucleus where cell proliferation is induced. Thereafter proliferation is switched off by the hydrolysis of the bound GTP to GDP.

Therefore decreasing the rate of GTP hydrolysis causes Ras to remain active, ultimately leading to uncontrollable proliferation characteristic of cancer.
