Stimulation of glucose production and release into circulation to provide a quick fuel source for muscle tissue so that the body is readied for action during a stress event.

Option B.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

Cortisol is a steroid group of hormone that is secreted from the Adrenal Cortex from the zona fasciculata. It's the middle layer of Adrenal Cortex. Cortisol helps in different functions of the body that includes the suppression of immune system, increasing the blood sugar level,  gluconeogenesis, metabolism of fat, and proteins. This hormone helps in the gluconeogenesis which helps to produce glucose from non glucose sources. The primary sources include the fats and proteins and the glycogen reserve in liver and muscles. Thus increase in cortisol levels help in the retaining glucose levels in stress or hypoglycemia.

Explanation:

Artificial reefs are created in area where there is little uderwater topography or near established coral reefs to imitate or even substitute for natural coral reefs where they are absent or endangered due various factors which are mostly human in nature. The artificial serves to provide a habitat for marine organisms and ensure more biodiversity around the area by providing shelter from predation and surfaces for encrusting organisms such as corals and sponges to grow on. The growth of these lower level food chain organisms attract larger predator organisms thereby increasing the biodiversity in the area.

Artificial reefs are made from a variety of materials such as shipwrecks, construction debris, oil rigs, concrete, and any other man-made objects. Since reef structures protect shorelines against waves, artificial reefs would decrease the erosion of the coastline providing benefit to the people living along the coastline by preventing the destruction of beaches and coastal property,
