What is the input signal that causes insulin to be released from a beta cell?

Biology

Gelneren [198K]3 years ago

Answer:

Glucose in the blood

Explanation:

When we eat and the level of glucose in the blood rises, it stimulates the release of insulin into the blood stream. It makes sense, because insulin is necessary for glucose to enter the cell across the membrane and be used as a source of energy.The problem arises when we eat too many carbohydrates for too long and the glucose level in the blood is constantly too high. After a number of years this causes insulin resistance. In other words, each time an ever greater concentration of insulin is needed to perform its function and eventually this leads to diabetes, when the pancreas just cannot produce any more insulin.

Trichodesmium is a nitrogen-fixing cyanobacteria. Why might this cyanobacteria be important to other organisms in nitrogen-poor
eimsori [14]
Cyanobacteria don't need oxygen to survive they produce oxygen. They where the first ever known organisms on the planet and they produced oxygen in the oceans which was absorbed by iron deposits and then once the iron had oxygen the ocean got the oxygen until it got into the atmosphere and Eukaryota bacteria evolved. So the answer would be: <span>They convert nitrates from the water into nitrogen gas (N2) that is released into the atmosphere.</span>

Can someone please describe the role of fermentation in maintaining ATP and NAD+ levels? I cant fully grasp the concept. Answer
Solnce55 [7]
Fermentation is the process by which a carbohydrate molecule is broken down into alcohol and carbon dioxide in the absence of oxygen. During this process, two molecules of ATP is produced. In the absence of oxygen, pyruvate formed from glycolysis will undergo fermentation process. During the process of fermentation, NADH from glycolysis will be converted back to NAD+. This is necessary in order for glycolysis to continue. Thus, fermentation regenerate more NAD+ and only a few molecule of ATP.
