galben [10]

Answer:

The correct answer is 4. insulin

Explanation:

Proteins are made up of amino acids which are joined together by peptide bond. Insulin is a peptide hormone which is made amino acids therefore it is also a protein. An insulin molecule is made up of 51 amino acid residues and 5808 Da is its molecular weight.

The insulin hormone is released by the beta cell of the pancreas. It is released when the level of glucose in the blood increased from the normal blood glucose level.  

It helps in conversion of glucose into glycogen and its storage in muscles and liver. So by doing this, it decrease the level of glucose in the blood. Therefore the right answer is 4.

<h2>ANSWER:</h2>

\huge\boxed{Negative Feedback}

<h2>_____________________________________</h2><h2>TYPES OF MECHANISMS</h2>

There are two types of mechanisms

<h3>Negative Feedback Mechanism:</h3>

This mechanism opposes the change that occurs in the body resulting in the decrease of the CHANGE.

<h3>Positive Feedback Mechanism:</h3>

This mechanism enhances the change that occurs in the body resulting in the increase of the CHANGE.

<h2>_____________________________________</h2><h2>THERMOREGULATION</h2>

Thermoregulation is the control of body temperature

<h3>__________________________________________________</h3><h3>Decrease in temperature </h3>

This picture is the mechanism for the THERMOREGULATION (control of the body temperature). It is the negative feedback, as you can see if the temperature is decreased that means the change occurs, so the process of shivering starts which is the movement of muscles which generates the heat resulting in the increase in temperature.

CHANGE: Less Temperature i.e. body cold.

NEGATIVE FEEDBACK: Increases temperature and brings it back to normal.

<h3>__________________________________________________</h3><h3>Increase in temperature </h3>

When the Temperature of the body increases, that means when the change occurs, The Negative feedback mechanism is triggered resulting in the process of sweating which brings the body temperature down.

CHANGE: More Temperature i.e. Body hot

NEGATIVE FEEDBACK: Decreases the temperature by the process of sweating and brings it back to normal.

How does adaptation affect the survival of a species? Why?
sveticcg [70]
Organisms adapt to their changing environment. When there is some pressure in the environment (for example, increased competition for food), then species with the most advantageous adaptations will survive. Because environments change pretty frequently, the organisms living there must cope with this change. This leads to ever changing and evolving species and increased biodiversity. Lastly, a high level of biodiversity leads to a healthy ecosystem because of the vast variety of organisms in that space. Many species allows niches to overlap and therefore no one organism occupies one niche.
