Answer:
a. Glucagon is released by the beta cells of the pancreatic islets of Langerhans.
Explanation:
When the body is fasting, the pancreas releases glucagon so that your body can produce glucose. Glucagon is a protein hormone made and secreted by alpha cells from pancreatic islets (or islets of Langerhans).
The islets of Langerhans are a special group of cells in the pancreas that produce not only glucagon, but also insulin. These substances act as important regulators of sugar metabolism.

Answer:
B (2nd Option): DNA is single-stranded
Explanation:
A is correct: DNA is indeed found in the nucleus of eukaryotes.
B is incorrect: Although there can be single strands of DNA (ssDNA), DNA is usually double-stranded which is how it forms its characteristic double-helix shape.
C is correct: Deoxyribose is indeed the sugar in DNA (Deoxyribonucleic Acid)
D is correct: The two single ringed nitrogenous bases in DNA are thymine and cytosine, while the other two (Adenine and Guanine are double ringed.
Hope this helped!
The hydrogen ion concentration of a solution is indicated by its <u>pH </u>value.
Explanation:
- A measure of acidity or alkalinity of water soluble substances (pH stands for 'potential of Hydrogen'). A pH value is a number from 1 to 14, with 7 as the middle point.
- Under normal circumstances this means that the concentration of hydrogen ions in acidic solution can be taken to be equal to the concentration of the acid.
- The pH is then equal to minus the logarithm of the concentration value.
- Values below 7 indicate acidity which increases as the number decreases, 1 being the most acidic.
- The pH of a solution is a measure of hydrogen ion concentration, which in turn is a measure of its acidity.
- Pure water dissociates slightly into equal concentrations of hydrogen and hydroxyl (OH−) ions. For a neutral solution, [H+] is 10−7, or pH = 7.
