Insulin is a hormone made by the pancreas that helps your cells bring in sugar. So people who have diabetes have high blood sugar because the sugars in the blood aren't in the cells. So basically they starve to death because they're eating eating eating but the energy stays in the blood but not in the cells.

It also regulates the body stores sugar and fat.

1. The container of a breakfast cereal usually lists the number of calories and the amounts of protein, carbohydrate, and fat co
dusya [7]

Complete Question:

The container of a breakfast cereal usually lists the number of calories and the amounts of protein, carbohydrate, and fat contained in one serving of the cereal. The amounts for two common cereals are given below. Suppose a mixture of these two cereals is to be prepared that contains exactly 295 calories, 9 g of protein, 48 g of carbohydrate, and 8 g of fat. a. Set up a vector equation for this problem. Include a statement of what the variables in your equation represent. b. Write an equivalent matrix equation, and then determine if the desired mixture of the two cereals can be prepared.

Nutrient         General mills cheerios        Quaker 100% Natural cereal

Calories                       110                                           130

Protein (g)                    4                                                3

Carbohydrate (g)         20                                             18

Fat (g)                           2                                                 5

Solution:

Representation of data in equation.

x1 is the number of servings of Cheerios and

x2 is the number of servings of Natural Cereal

110x_{1} + 130x_{2}  = 295

4x_{1} + 3x_{2} = 9

20x_{1} + 18x_{2} = 48

2x_{1} + 5x_{2} = 8

Representation of data in vector equation,

x_{1}\left[\begin{array}{ccc}110\\4\\20\\2\end{array}\right]   + x_{2} \left[\begin{array}{ccc}130\\3\\18\\5\end{array}\right]  = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}295\\9\\48\\8\end{array}\right]

Equivalent matrix equation of data

\left[\begin{array}{ccc}110&130&295\\4&3&9\\20&18&48\\2&5&8\end{array}\right]

Row reduce the matrix

\left[\begin{array}{ccc}110&130&295\\4&3&9\\20&18&48\\2&5&8\end{array}\right]  ≅ \left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&0&1.5\\0&1&1\\0&0&0\\0&0&0\end{array}\right]

1.5 serving of cherrios with 1 serving of natural cereal requried to make desired mixture.

x_{1} = 1.5 , x_{2} = 1

a) x_{1} \left[\begin{array}{ccc}110\\4\\20\\2\end{array}\right] + x_{2} \left[\begin{array}{ccc}130\\3\\18\\5\end{array}\right]  =  \left[\begin{array}{ccc}295\\9\\48\\8\end{array}\right]

b) x_{1} = 1.5 , x_{2} = 1

Explain how human activities can intensify, or even cause a landslide
lara [203]

The human activities directly or indirectly affect the nature. The deforestation and the removal of the vegetation  for the purpose of development or timber, the land is exposed to the dangers of the landslide. The tress, plants and other vegetation keeps the soil in place with the help of their roots. The soil erosion is prevented by the trees, but the cutting down of them by the humans increases erosion and hence, the risk of landslide.

How are xylem fibers different from xylem parenchymav
Harrizon [31]

Answer: Xylem fibers and xylem parenchyma are the elements of the xylem which is a vascular tissue in plants.

Explanation:

Xylem fibers are dead cells whereas the xylem parenchyma are living cells.

Xylem fibers are responsible for providing structural support to the entire structure of xylem whereas the xylem parenchyma is involved in conducting of water and minerals.

In xylem fibers the lignin is present whereas it is absent in xylem parenchyma.

identify a community near where you live such as a forest, a pound, or your own backyard. Think about the interactions of the or
sukhopar [10]
In a forest, there would probably be a deer, and a deer tick. The tick will latch onto the deer's skin, bury its head in the flesh and suck its blood. This would be an example of parasitism because one is benefiting (the tick) and the other is harmed (the deer).
hope this helps :)

Would life cease to exist without energy from the sun or some other source
goldfiish [28.3K]
Yes because we use the sun light as a way to grow crops for one so no one would be getting any food and plant life would never grow and would die so we wouldn't be getting Air as well because trees and plants make oxygen for us
