Answer:

Chromosomes contain genes, which help to determine an organism's traits. Genes come in alternate forms called alleles. The actual gene combination that an organism receives from its parents is called its genotype, while the trait that gets expressed as a result is referred to as its phenotype. If an offspring receives the same type of allele for a given gene from each parent, it is said to be h o m o z y g o u s. If the alleles differ, it is h e t e r o z y g o u s.

When blood glucose levels rise, the hormone ___ is released from the ___ to convert excess glucose into glycogen, a short-term e
Mariana [72]

Answer:

insulin; pancreas.

Explanation:

An endocrine system refers to a series of ductless glands and organs responsible for the production and secretion of hormones that are used by the body for the performance of various functions such as metabolism, controlling growth, reproduction, mood, sleep, etc. These hormones are secreted directly into the circulatory system (blood) and then transported to the organs and tissues in the body.

Basically, the endocrine system contributes significantly to the state of homeostasis in the body.

Homeostasis can be defined as a process through which a living organism maintains a steady or stable physical, internal and chemical environment that is ideal to enhance life and proper functionality.

Generally, when the blood glucose levels of a person rise, through an endocrine system, the hormone known as insulin is released from the pancreas to convert excess glucose into glycogen, which is typically a short-term energy storage molecule for the body.

In conclusion, the endocrine system maintain homeostasis by releasing insulin from the pancreas to decrease blood sugar and releasing glucagon to increase blood sugar.

1. What is sustainable energy? 2. How do we currently use energy in Georgia? 3. Which types of fossil fuels could / should we us
devlian [24]

1. Sustainable energy is the one that meets the needs of the present without compromising the possibility of future generations to meet their own needs for energy. This is actually an effective way of producing energy that has a little harmful effect on the environment. 

There are three conditions that some energy must satisfy in order to belong to the group: 

- ecologically: clean, renewable

- social: available for everyone  

- economic: provides at least the minimum profit

Sustainable energy includes the use of renewable energy sources such as hydropower, wind energy, solar energy, wave energy, geothermal energy, biomass energy.


2. In Georgia, the most of energy consumes transportation and industrial production is the second energy consumer in the country. There are many industrial plants that consume a lot of energy such as food and beverages, tobacco, chemical, plastics, wood, machinery and metal industry. Energy consumption by the population is almost identical to the consumption by industry.



3. We should use less coal and petroleum because they are the largest source of greenhouse gas emissions, like CO2 from fossil fuel combustion. Combustion of fossil fuels also produces other air pollutants, such as nitrogen oxides, sulfur dioxide, volatile organic compounds and heavy metals which damage our environment.


4. We should use more solar energy, wind energy, and geothermal energy. These sources of energy are inexhaustible and free, and the most important characteristic of the resources is that they do not pollute the environment. Also, it is a better choice to build own renewable energy facilities than import costly fuels.


5. In my area, I would propose next renewable energy sources: biomass, wind and solar power. Here, there is a flat land and during the year we have a lot of sunny and windy days. There is huge potential for producing the kinds of energy and it would be economically rentable. Also, it is a forest area with the great amount of biomass, which could collect and use for energy production instead of rotting on the ground.


6. We could do a lot of things to decrease energy consumption, starting from simple things like turning off the lights, using energy efficient light options (LED bulbs), unplugging electronics which use standby power, choosing energy-efficient items, better insulation of houses etc. Also, we could less drive own cars and use more public transport or ride bicycles.
