How does the lack of insulin prevent cells from using glucose?
tekilochka [14]

Answer:

the pancreas secretes insulin, which directs the muscle and fat cells to take in glucose. Cells obtain energy from glucose or convert it to fat for long-term storage. Like a key fits into a lock, insulin binds to receptors on the cell's surface, causing GLUT4 molecules to come to the cell's surface.

BRAINELIST!
andrew-mc [135]

Answer:

Squirrel: Digestive, Circulatory, Muscular, and Nervous systems.

Soccer: Skeletal/muscular, circulatory, respiratory, and nervous systems.

Explanation:

The body systems are skeletal, muscular, digestive, respiratory, nervous, and circulatory. All of them interact and work together as a whole to the proper individual development and performance.

We might say that in both cases, all the systems are interacting. However, we can mention four of them for each situation.

The squirrel

This animal seems to be feeding on the top of a tree, sitting on a branch where it keeps its balance not to fall.

  1. The digestive system is working to break food into smaller pieces that are more suitable to swallow and absorb the available nutrients.
  2. The circulatory system takes those nutrients and transports them together with the oxygen to different cells in the organisms where they are needed.
  3. The muscular system makes it possible to keep the animal´s balance in the branch and not fall.
  4. The nervous system controls everything in the organism. The nervous system controls all the body activities. It is in charge of keeping equilibrium while eating and being alert, among many other functions.

The soccer player

This person is about to hit the ball to make a goal. He seems to be coordinating his arms and legs move to make it possible.

  1. The muscular and skeletal systems are working together to provide support to the body and strength. They allow the movement of the whole body to make the goal.
  2. The respiratory system is also involved in this person´s performance while he is running. He needs to keep constant respiration to inhale enough oxygen needed while running and exhaling waste gases.
  3. The circulatory system transports the oxygen to different cells in the organisms where they are used according to their needs, especially the muscle cells. This system also takes away the wastes substances.
  4. The nervous system controls all the body activities. It is in charge of keeping equilibrium and coordinated moves while running, being alert on other players and focused on the ball, controlling the player´s thoughts and strategies during the game, among many other functions.

What is a type of emigration where offspring move<br> away from their parents.
Bas_tet [7]

Answer:Dispersal

Explanation: This refers to offspring moving away from their parents. This prevents the offspring from competing with the parents for resources such as light or water. For example, dandelion seeds have “parachutes.” They allow the wind to carry the seeds far from the parents

Rus_ich [418]
The one that is different is HORSE.
Lion, wolf and tiger are flesh eaters while horse is a grass eater, thus, horse is an herbivore while the other three animals are carnivorous in their feeding mode. The difference in these animal feeding mode will results in differences in their stomach compartment and their digestive process.

Write a paragraph about why viruses are alive
padilas [110]
Well, to be fair, this is a bit of a tough question because it's in question by some of the leading microbiologists right now. 

But one argument for this is their ability to reproduce. Note that one of the leading arguments for something to be alive is that they are subject to evolution and hence natural selection: the statements for which argue that there has to be differentiation within a species (meaning there has to be different forms of each virus within a type of virus) and there has to be reproduction-- which is where the problem comes along (because viruses could only reproduce while in a host). So one argument that can be made that they are in-fact alive, is that they reproduce and is subject to evolution. 

Do know however that this is HIGHLY controversial-- and if your teacher asks it, it's most likely not a right-or-wrong answer

If he does do it that way, maybe you could show off your brainy-bio knowledge by explaining to him why it shouldn't be so!
