The answer is Glycogenolysis

When we are hungry or skipped a meal our glucagon, an hormones that regulates blood-sugar levels, is released to avoid glucose levels in the blood to decrease to a risky value.

Glucagon makes the liver, but also the muscle, to breakdown accumulated glucose called glycogen into glucose to increase blood-sugar levels. This process is called Glycogenolysis and can also be stimulated by an increase in epinephrine during fight-or-flight responses.

The reaction that will occur in your liver cell is GLYCOGENOLYSIS.
Glycogenolysis is the biochemical process by which glycogen in the liver are broken down into glucose to provide fuel for the body when the blood sugar content is low.

Which is false about osmosis and electrolyte balance in the body? when potassium enters cells, then water follows it. water trav

Mariana [72]

Answer: water travels from high to low concentration of the solute

Electrolytes are known to be major components pf body fluid and these electrolytes enter the body through foods. Thus, major regulation of body fluid and electrolyte balance in the body is through the process of osmosis. However, osmosis can be defined as the movement of water through the semipermeable membrane from lower concentration of solute to higher concentration of solute.

In pea plants, the allele for inflated pod seed, I, is dominant over the allele for constricted pod seed, i. The Punnett square

zubka84 [21]

Answer:

The offspring which carries the allele II will be homozygous dominant.

Explanation:

A dominant trait can be described as a trait which masks the effect of a recessive trait. A recessive trait can be described as a trait which gets masked by the dominant trait.

A homozygous dominant trait occurs when both the alleles for the gen are dominant. A heterozygous dominant trait occurs when one allele is dominant and the other is recessive for the trait.

Hence, a homozygous dominant trait will carry the alleles II.

A gamete would correctly be called a SEX CELL.
The cells from the male and female parents which combine to form zygote are called gametes. The male gamete is called sperm while the female gamete is called egg. Both sex cells combine together during fertilization to form the zygote.
