Biology

Answer:

The statement - When blood sugar is too low, the body sends hormones that raise blood sugar until it reaches a typical level and hormone secretion slows, describes a negative feedback loop.

Explanation:

In the human body, the term homeostasis means the tendency of the various systems in the human body to stay in optimal ranges for health by self regulation through feedback controls. It is very important because it maintains equilibrium and provides stability to the human body. A negative feedback loop (inhibitory loop) is a type of self-regulating system in which increased output from the system inhibits the future production by the system. Example of negative feedback to achieve homeostasis are blood pressure , body temperature,  blood sugar. In blood sugar regulation, the hormone insulin lowers blood glucose when levels are high and the glucagon increases blood glucose when levels are low. In a positive feedback system, the output amplifies the original stimulus. Examples of a positive feedback system are child birth, lactation, blood clotting etc. During child birth, the hormone oxytocin released increases and speeds up the contractions.

Compare the processes of anaerobic respiration in muscle and plant cells
lianna [129]

Answer:

In muscles :-

Glucose is not completely broken down, so much less energy is released than during aerobic respiration.Build-up of lactic acid in muscles can lead to several pain in the muscles.

In plant cells :-

Anaerobic respiration took place in absence of oxygen and incase of plants it's more much harmful for plants as not in the case of muscles.

Would an animal that was a great sprinter, but was a poor distance runner, have more red muscle or white muscle? Why?
Zielflug [23.3K]
<span>White muscle Let's look at the difference between red and white muscles. Red muscles are red because they have a large concentration of myoglobin in them. This kind of muscle performs work via aerobic metabolism. So they can sustain their activity for a long time without fatigue, but they're slow. White muscles on the other hand, have little myoglobin, but are very rapid in contraction. But most of their work is via anaerobic metabolism and they accumulate lactic acid while performing work. This makes these kind of muscles very fast and powerful for short bursts of work, but they fatigue quickly.</span>
