Biology

This organ is the pancreas. It is a very small endocrine gland measuring 6 inches that is located on the left abdomen near the duodenum of the small intestine and the spleen. The pancreas is a very important organ that secretes digestive enzymes like:

pancreatic amylase - breaks down polysaccarides and glycogen into simple sugars
trypsin- breaks down proteins into amino acids
pancreatic lipase - breaks down triglycerides to fatty acids and monoglycerides
ribonuclease - digests nucleic acids

It also secretes insulin and glucagon to regulate blood sugar levels.

How do cells maintain water balance through osmosis?
neonofarm [45]
Water then moves from cell to cell through the root cortex by osmosisalong a concentration gradient; this means that each cell is hypertonic to the one before it. In the centre of the root the water enters the xylem vessels. Water may move by diffusionthrough the cell walls and intercellular spaces.
