A) The important factor in osmosis is not the number of molecules. Instead, it is the number of particles in a given volume of s

olution. For example, one glucose molecule dissolved in water yields one particle, but one NaCl molecule can yield two ions: Na+ and Cl-. Water moves osmotically in response to the total concentration of particles in the solution.
If there is a 10% glucose solution on one side of a semipermeable membrane and 5% salt solution on the other side, what will most likely happen to the flow of water? (1 point)

Since the salt has two ions, the concentration of particles is double the salt concentration (10%). Since it is equal to the glucose concentration, water will not flow to either side of the membrane.

One role of the pancreas is to help regulate blood glucose levels. Two types of cells in the pancreas, beta and alpha, serve as
solniwko [45]

1. Regulation of glucose blood levels is an example of negative feedback mechanism.

Negative feedback mechanism is a control mechanism involved in homeostasis maintain, in this case maintenance of glucose blood levels in normal range.

Negative feedback mechanism contains sensory system that detects the changes, control system that responds to change and activates mechanisms of effector system that reverse the changes in order to restore conditions to their normal levels.

• Pancreatic cells-sensors

• Insulin-control system

• Body cells- effector cells

2. Blood glucose levels change throughout the day because of the food consumption, but in healthy individuals levels of glucose are successfully regulated via the mechanism of hormones such as insulin and glucagon in a process called glucose blood regulation.

This tight regulation of pancreatic hormones is referred to as glucose homeostasis. Insulin lowers blood sugar and glucagon raises it.

3. If the beta cells are destroyed by an autoimmune disease (immune system attacks its own cells), there would be no insulin release, and consequently, the glucose blood levels would be increased.

Diabetes type I is a metabolic disorder caused by the destruction of insulin-producing pancreatic beta cells.
