Answer:
Although secreted by the pancreas, glucagon directly impacts the liver as it works to control blood sugar levels. Specifically, glucagon prevents blood glucose levels from dropping to a dangerous point by stimulating the conversion of stored glycogen to glucose in the liver.

Answer:
there are 4: paracrine signaling, autocrine signaling, endocrine signaling, and synaptic signaling
Explanation:
paracrine:cells that are near one another communicate through the release of chemical messengers
autocrine: a cell signals to itself, releasing a ligand that binds to receptors on its own surface
endocrine:When cells need to transmit signals over long distances, they often use the circulatory system as a distribution network for the messages they send.
synaptic: nerve cells transmit signals. The junction between two nerve cells where signal transmission occurs.
Scientific discovery allows us to develop new technologies, solve practical problems, and make informed decisions — both individually and collectively.
Answer:
D. Nucleus.
Explanation:
A cell can be defined as the structural, fundamental, biological and functional unit of life. Cells are found in all living organisms because they are the basic unit of life. A unicellular organism refers to a living organism that possess a single-cell while a multicellular organism has many (multiple) cells.
Some examples of cell organelles found in all living organisms such as trees, birds, and bacteria include; nucleus, cytoplasm, cell membrane, golgi apparatus, mitochondria, lysosomes, ribosomes, chromosomes, endoplasmic reticulum, vesicles, etc.
Proteins on the surface of vesicles determine where the vesicles go.
The nucleus is the cell organelle which provides the instructions for these proteins. It controls all the activities taking place in the cell and the synthesis of proteins.
Answer:
B. Proteins
Explanation:
Salivary amylase is an enzyme that starts the breakdown of starch in the mouth. Gastric glands of the stomach secrete gastric juice, which contains HCl to kill bacteria and denatures proteins, intrinsic factors, and the enzyme pepsin. The chief cells of gastric glands secrete pepsinogen (an inactive form of pepsin).
Pepsin begins the digestion of proteins in the stomach. It breaks down certain peptide bonds between amino acids and thereby, breaks down protein chain into smaller peptide fragments. Pepsin requires a very acidic environment of the stomach (pH 2) and becomes inactive at a higher pH.
