Answer: Insulin and glucagon, secreted by the pancreas.

Explanation:

Insulin and glucagon are enzymes secreted by the pancreas and they work together in a negative feedback loop because one event triggers another, and then another to keep the glucose levels balanced in blood.

Glucose comes from the food and moves through the bloodstream. And <u>when the glucose is in the bloodstream, it signals the pancreas to produce insulin</u>. <u>This hormone makes glucose to move into the cells </u>and it will be used during cellular respiration to produce energy. When there is glucose that is not needed, glycogen is formed, which is a polysaccharide of glucose that serves as a form of energy storage.

On the other hand, <u>glucagon works to counterbalance the actions of insulin when the glucose levels in your blood decrease. </u>This hormone signals the liver and muscle cells to change the stored glycogen back into glucose. These cells then release the glucose into your bloodstream so the cells can use it for energy.

Answer:

Bet

Explanation:

1. The radiaton from the X-ray waves can be harmful

2. Lack of resources comes on part of both the provider as well as the patient as the provider may not necessarily have the appropriate equipment or updated technology yet to detect such conditions such as in smaller town hospitals or even the patient may not have the financial or transportation resources in order to obtain these. Another one but while being a little subjective I think could even be a lack of knowledge on both of our parts as well as healthcare providers don't always have all the answers to everything let alone the resources as mentioned earlier or even perhaps the patient doesn't know the earlier signs and symptoms of certain cancers and even more so some cancers are VERY difficult to detect, especially until its too late.

3. X-ray imaging creates pictures of the inside of your body. The images show the parts of your body in different shades of black and white. This is because different tissues absorb different amounts of radiation. Calcium in bones absorbs x-rays the most, so bones look white

4. An X-Ray will be neccesary, ultrasounds exam organs while x-rays examine bones

In humans, a type of blindness is due to a dominant allele; normal vision is the result of a recessive allele. Migraine headache
yan [13]

Answer:

Yes.

Probability of such child = 1/2 or 50%

Explanation:

According to the question, below are the genotypes and phenotypes possibilities:

aa = normal vision & no headache

Aa = normal vision & no headache

AA = blindness & headache

                                                                      Male                       Female

                                                                        Aa                            aa

Possible genotypes of progeny:            Aa        Aa           aa         aa

So it is clear that out of the 4 probable children, 2 with 'genotype aa' will have normal vision & no headache.

Mathematical expression is as under:

2/4 = 1/2 that means 50% progeny.

What is so special about nitrogen in the atmosphere
HACTEHA [7]

Answer:

Firstly, the partial pressure of nitrogen (78%) is crucial to breathing purposes. Without this pressure, the lungs will burst and animals cannot survive.

Secondly, nitrogen is required for the formation of amino acids (building blocks of proteins) and other organic compounds that are necessary for the survival of living organisms. Principally, in the atmosphere, nitrogen is present in the form of molecular nitrogen (N2). N2 is fixed by nitrogen-fixing bacteria that form nitrates and nitrites. These molecules are then used in biochemical processes to produce proteins (amino acids) and other organic compounds. In the absence of nitrogen, these processes could become seize of limited significantly thus affecting life overall.

Thirdly, nitrogen and its derivatives act as greenhouse gases that maintain the Earth's temperature within a range that supports life. Yes, the increased abundance of nitrous oxides is not good because of acid rain and other issues, however, still, the presence of nitrogen is important for life on this planet.
