Which feedback mechanism is used to regulate blood glucose?

1 answer:

7 0

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

The glands which get involved are the pancreas and adrenal glands. 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.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.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.

Groundwater___? Is recharged by precipitation

Blababa [14]

Answer: Ground water recharge includes recharge as a natural part of the hydrologic cycle and human-induced recharge, either directly through spreading basins or injection wells, or as a consequence of human activities such as irrigation and waste disposal. Artificial recharge with excess surface water or reclaimed wastewater is increasing in many areas, thus becoming a more important component of the hydrologic cycle.

Answer:

W- developed seeds

X-angiosperm

Explanation:

Well for one, these two are the only things w/ a referrable image (I'm not sure if that's a word :-)) Another thing is angiosperm literally means flowering plant and a tomato is a ripe, or flowering, plant. W is an image of seeds that are at mid stage in there developing process, so it is clearly the answer. Correct me if im wrong :-D.

In corn, smooth kernels (K) are dominant to wrinkled kernels (k).

Roman55 [17]

Heterozygous means 2 different zygotes. Since Smooth kernels are dominant, Zygotes KK and Kk will be smooth and kk will be wrinkled.

If you were to set up a Punnett Square chart like:

K k

K (KK) (Kk)

k (Kk) (kk)

the ratio for smooth to winkle would be 3 : 1

Which Will be 75% Smooth and 25% Wrinkle
