Which feedback mechanism is used to regulate blood glucose?

Biology
1 answer:
ASHA 777 [7]3 years ago
7 0

<span><span>B. a negative feedback loop because the blood glucose level was returned to the set point, not amplified

</span>The glands which get involved are the pancreas and adrenal glands.</span><span> During increase in blood sugar, the pancreas secretes insulin, a hormone produced by the beta cells of the pancreas. Insulin causes red blood cells, muscle cells and fat cell to absorb sugar from the blood.</span><span>During decrease of blood sugar, the pancreas secretes  glucagon, a hormone produced by the alpha cells of the pancreas. Glucagon causes the liver to release the glucose stored in its cells.</span><span>The Adrenal gland secretes cortisol during times of low blood sugar levels.  Cortisol promotes the use of fatty acids to provide energy for working muscles, rather than using glucose.</span>

Generally, evapotranspiration depends on two factors. These are:
ASHA 777 [7]

Answer: A. Water must be available for plants to transpire and the air cannot be saturated with humidity.

Explanation:

Evapotranspiration is the sum of evaporation and transpiration. Evaporation is the loss of water from the earth surface or ground water table and transpiration is lost of water from plant surfaces. Plant absorps water from the soil through the root and it is transport by xylem to various body cells.

When the humidity is high and the air is saturated with water the rate of evapotranspiration is low but at a low humidity the rate of evaporation is high until the air is saturated.

Temperature also have a major role in transpiration. When the temperature is high the plant stomata is open which favours water Loss from plant but when the temperature is low plant closes their stomata in response to temperature change.
