Answer:

When blood glucose level rises beyond the threshold levels, the pancreas secrets hormones insulin. The latter ensures entry of  glucose into the cells through Glut transporters for cellular utilization, therefore reducing the blood levels., and promotes storage as glycogen in the liver and muscles.  

How ever if  the glucose levels drops below the  set point, an hormone glucagon is also produce by the pancreas to cause the liver o withdrawal and breakdown glucose storage as  glycogen back to glucose thus raising the blood glucose level back to the normal levels.

This is an example of negative feedback mechanism, because the increase in the input levels (blood glucose levels) brings about a counter  mechanisms (insulin secretions)as output , to reduce the  elevated   levels by promoting  entry into the cells,, thus bringing the levels to threshold levels.

Thus insulin is acting in a negative feedback mechanism to control blood glucose levels

Answer:

B) Coating of microbe to aid phagocyte recognition

Explanation:

Opsonization is the process and mechanism which targets the foreign body and helps in the recognition of the pathogen by the phagocytic cells such as the macrophages and dendritic cell.

The opsonization enhances the process of phagocytosis as the opsonin substances which could be the antibodies, proteins or other molecules which could be easily recognised by the phagocytic cells gets attached to the pathogen.

Thus, Option-B is the correct answer.

Opsonization is the coating of a particle with proteins that facilitate phagocytosis of the particle by tissue macrophages and activated follicular dendritic cells (FDCs) as well as binding by receptors on peripheral blood cells

What is the increase in temperatures due to more greenhouse gases?
xeze [42]

Answer: Since the industrial revolution, human activities have also resulted in an increase in natural greenhouse gases, especially carbon dioxide. An increase in these gases in the atmosphere enhances the atmosphere's ability to trap heat, which leads to an increase in the average surface temperature of the Earth.
