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.

How might you alter a trna so that it inserts an alanine into a polypeptide for which a lysine is coded?
castortr0y [4]
TRNA stands for transfer-RNA which is used in the process of protein synthesis or translation. tRNA is a unique clover leaf like structure that has 4 arms- amino acid acceptor site (acceptor arm), D loop, T psi C loop and anticodon loop. It also has a small variable loop. The anticodon loop consists of a sequence of 3 bases that is complementary to the 3 bases present of mRNA to be translated. A tRNA for alanine will have an anticodon for alanine while a tRNA for lysine will have an anticodon for lysine. For a tRNA to insert an alanine in place of lysine in a forming peptide, the anticodon and the amino acid acceptor site should be altered so that it accepts lysine in place of alanine and add it to the growing polypeptide.

Why do you think there are earthquakes in mid-America where there are no known fault lines?
matrenka [14]
Earthquakes are mainly known to occur at plate boundaries where plates converge, diverge or slide past each other. Earthquake activity sometimes accompany volcanic eruptions but these too are concentrated around some plate boundaries (convergent, divergent). 

Smaller earthquakes are known to occur in intra-plate regions, away from margins. These occur simply because of stresses being built up in rocks. The crust is solid and rigid and it floats on the mantle which is a curved surface like the crust.
