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) :)

Which of these types of weathering does not require the presence of water?

julia-pushkina [17]

The answer is oxidation or chemical weathering. There are three main types of weathering, which includes, mechanical weathering, biological and chemical weathering. Mechanical weathering is caused by wind, sand rain, thawing, freezing, and other forces that can physically alter the rock. Biological weathering is caused by the activities of plants and animals as they grow, nests and burrow. Chemical weathering is caused by chemical reactions rather than by mechanical means.

Which enzyme catalyzes the elongation of a DNA strand in the 5' → 3' direction by adding nucleotides to the end of a growing DNA

Ivan

Answer:

DNA polymerase

Explanation:

DNA polymerase enzyme catalyses the reaction of adding nucleotide to growing complementary daughter strand of DNA in the direction of 5' → 3' during elongation in the process of replication. This process requires energy which is taken from nucleotides with three phosphate groups in their backbone similar to ATP (adenine triphosphate)

DNA Replication is when DNA multiplies and make exact copies of itself as part of gene transfer.
