The 2 hormones are insulin & glucagon.

A hormone will only act on a part of the body it 'fits'. A hormone can be thought of as a key, and its target site ( i.e an organ) has specially shaped locks on the cell walls.
If the hormone fits, then it will work.

The hormone can set off a cascade of other singling pathways in the cell to cause an immediate effect ( for instance, insulin signaling leads to a rapid uptake of glucose in muscle cells)

The endocrine system is a tightly regulated system that keeps the hormones and their effects at just the right level. One way this is achieved is through ' feedback loops'. The release of hormones is regulated by other hormones, proteins or neuronal signals.

The released hormone then has its effect on other organs. This effect on the organ feeds back to the original signal to control any further hormone release.

btw- found all this info @ the Better Health channel, an australian government health website , so if your still confused by my answer, check out this website

What experimental observations indicate a chemical change is taking place?

Anestetic [448]

A chemical change is characterized of the formation of new substances or a chemical reaction. There are a number of observations that we can see if this type of change happens. One would be the formation of gas bubbles, this indicates that one of the products is a gas. Another observation would be a formation of a precipitate in the solution, it would indicate that the new solid formed is not soluble in the solution. A permanent color change in the solution would also indicate a chemical change because it may be that the new substance that is formed has its own distinct color when in solution.

Select the single best answer. Which mechanism properly shows the movement of electrons in the reaction? 2xsafari

sweet [91]

Answer:

Explanation:

We must study the reaction pictured in the question closely before we begin to attempt to answer the question.

Now, the reaction is a free radical reaction. This implies that only one electron is transferred. The transfer of one electron is shown using a half arrow rather than a full arrow. The both species are radicals (odd electron species) and contribute one electron each.

Hence we must show electron movements in both species using a half arrow.
