in a homeostatic feedback loop
Biology

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

What happens to an animal cell in a hypertonic solution?
jarptica [38.1K]

<span>The answer is that cell will shrink.</span>

<span>If you put an animal cell in a hypertonic solution means that concentration of the solutes is greater outside the cell, in the solution, than in the cell. Consequently,</span> the water concentration of the cell's cytoplasm is higher than that of the hypertonic solution. Since the aim is to balance water concentration on the inside and outside of the cell, the water will exit the cell. The cell will lose water and, consequently, will shrink in size.
