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>

Water-storing plants and deeply rooted shrubs are plants that characterize?
Nady [450]

Desert vegetation or xerophytes includes bushes with deep roots and plants that store water.

Another name for desert plant:

A plant species known as a xerophyte has evolved to live in environments with little fluid water, like a desert or an area surrounded by ice or frost in the Mountains or the Polar regions. Cacti, pineapples, and various Gymnosperm species are a few well-known instances of xerophytes.

  • Xerophytes have different adaptations to their morphological characters (morphology) and basic physiological functions (physiology) that allow them to store significant amounts of water and save it during dry seasons. During prolonged periods of severe dehydration or evaporation of their organs, some creatures can live, and at those times, their biochemical function may cease. Xeromorphic flora has such biological and morphological modifications.
