In the post-absorptive state (e.g. 10 hours after a meal), which is not likely to occur?

Biology

GaryK [48]4 years ago

I found the exercise on the internet and these are the options:
"<span>a. gluconeogenesis begins
b. beta-oxidation increases
c. blood glucose levels fall
d. the liver produces more glycogen"

The option that's not likely to happen is "</span>the liver produces more glycogen".
The formation of glycogen by the liver happens after eating a meal with carbohydrates. The level of blood glucose increases, and insulin is secreted by the pancreas and will act by allowing glucose to enter the body cells. When the glucose enters the liver cells, insulin will also act on the liver by stimulating glycogen synthesis. This process continues to happen until glucose levels begin to decrease in the <span>post-absorptive state</span> and, therefore, insulin secretion also decreases leading glycogen synthesis in the liver to stop.

Kiara has a red bird feeder, and her neighbor has a blue bird feeder. Kiara observed that most birds go to her neighbor's blue
valkas [14]

Her hypothesis was probably inaccurate. She should conclude that the birds are not at her feeder for another reason.

Explanation:

  • The colour of the feeder is not the reason because even after changing the colour of the feeder to blue , the birds are not attracted to Kiara's feeder. Thus, it is clear that colour is not an interest for the birds.
  • Secondly, we can draw a conclusion to the fact that blue colour is not the factor because Birds have a strong sense about Red and orange colour, which is evident from the adaptation of ornithophilous flower which are red, Yellow or Bright orange in colour. Thus if we consider colour as a factor of attraction then the bird's should have come to Kiara's red bird feeder.
