The human body wants blood glucose (blood sugar) maintained in a very narrow range. Insulin and glucagon are the hormones which make this happen. Both insulin and glucagon are secreted from the pancreas, and thus are referred to as pancreatic endocrine hormones. The picture on the left shows the intimate relationship both insulin and glucagon have to each other. Note that the pancreas serves as the central player in this scheme. It is the production of insulin and glucagon by the pancreas which ultimately determines if a patient has diabetes, hypoglycemia, or some other sugar problem.(i hope this can help you) :)

How are stem cells able to produce red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets?

kogti [31]

Explanation:

this is the best I can do for you sorry let me know if this helps any.

When a stem cell divides, it first becomes an immature red blood cell, white blood cell, or platelet-producing cell. The immature cell then divides, matures further, and ultimately becomes a mature red blood cell, white blood cell, or platelet.

After infection of a cell, a viral particle must transport itself to the nucleus in order to produce viral proteins. What is the

kykrilka [37]

Answer:

Double-stranded DNA

Explanation:

If a virus requires to transport its genome in the nucleus to produce viral protein then the viral genome content must be DNA. This DNA of the virus will use the RNA polymerase of the host cell and will first convert into mRNA in the nucleus.

Then the mRNA of the virus will come out of the nucleus because the protein synthesis takes place outside the nucleus and in the cytoplasm. So in the cytoplasm by using host translational machinery the viral mRNA will code for viral proteins. So the correct answer is double-stranded DNA.

Nady [450]

Answer:

The correct options are:

Prior to process 1, DNA should copy itself to allow the cell to divide.

Between processes 1 and 2, the mRNA must be modified before leaving the nucleus.

Explanation:

For eukaryotes, the mRNA is made in the nucleus from the DNA. This process in known as transcription. The process of making proteins from the mRNA takes place in the ribososmes of the cytoplasm. This process is known as translation. The mRNA has to be modified before it is transported for translation. Otherwise, the mRNA will be degraded by the enzymes of the nucleus.
