Answer:
Explanation: Neuroplasticity or brain plasticity is the ability of the brain to modify its connections or re-wire itself. Without this ability, any brain, not just the human brain, would be unable to develop from infancy through to adulthood or recover from brain injury.
the atmospheric pressure decreases upwards, hence the inter-molecular attraction between the air molecules decreases or to say that the inter-molecular space increases and the parcel of air expands.
The correct option is D.
Although both bacteria and amoeba are unicellular organisms, the bacteria is considered to be a prokaryote because it lacks a true nucleus and membrane bound organelles and amoeba is considered to be a eukaryote because, it has a true nucleus and well defined cell organelles.
Answer:
B. Glucagon
Explanation:
Glucagon is a pancreatic hormone, secreted by the alpha cells of islets of Langerhans. Whenever the blood glucose level falls, glucagon is released to increase the blood glucose levels. This function of glucagon is quite opposite to the function of insulin and hence both are antagonistic hormones. Insulin reduces the blood glucose where as glucagon increases the blood glucose.
Glucoagon is large polypeptide of 29 amino acids. Since it helps in increasing the blood glucose homeostatic levels it is called as hyperglycemic hormone. It does so by stimulating certain processes such as:
- Stimulating Glycogenolysis i.e breakdown of glycogen to release more glucose from liver.
- Stimulating Gluconeogenesis i.e. synthesis of glucose from non-carbohydrate sources like proteins.
- Glucagon inhibits the process of glycogenesis i.e. synthesis of glycogen, the storage form of glucose.
