The correct answer is D. Smell

Explanation:

Gustatory hairs are anatomical hairlike structures located in the mouth, especially in the tongue. These connect the gustatory cells to the gustatory bud, which means the gustatory hair s are the structures where taste is first detected and this is taken to the gustatory bud and gustatory cells where taste is identified as sweet, sour, salty, umami or bitter. Due to their function for taste, these structures can be compared to the olfactory hairs that play an important role in smell sense because these similarly to gustatory hairs recept smells and transmit it to specialized cells or receptors that process it. According to this, gustatory hairs are to taste as olfactory hairs are to smell.

Imagine a diploid organism that has 6 pairs of homologous chromosomes in their somatic cells. Given

stich3 [128]

Answer:

A. False

B. False.

C. True.

D. False.

E. True

F. True

G. True

H. False.

Explanation:

Diploid organism has almost double the cells than in the Haploid. The number of chromosomes in each diploid cell are also nearly twice the other cells. Diploid is any cell or organism which has two sets of chromosomes. Gamete is considered as the sex cell. It has ability to pair up and formulate the reproductive cells.

How do the hormones of the pancreas maintain homeostasis?

faust18 [17]

Hormones glucagon and insulin are produced in the alpha and beta cells respectively in the Islet of Langerhan in the pancreas. They are involved in the negative feedback system of blood glucose regulation in homeostasis.

GLUCAGON: when there is a low blood glucose concentration, the pancreas detect this and alpha cells produce and release glucagon. Glucagon causes the cells of the body to absorb less glucose from the blood. It also inhibits the process of converting glucose into glycogen (glycogenesis) and cause gluconeogenesis (process of converting amino acids/proteins and lipids/fats into glucose) and glycogenolysis (conversion of glycogen to glucose). Finally, glucagon decreases the rate of respiration so less glucose is required.

INSULIN: when blood glucose is high, insulin is released. Insulin binds with cell surface receptors of cells and activates the enzymes attached to the receptor. The enzymes cause a conformational change in the structural proteins that surround glucose transport protein containing vesicles, causing them to move out of the way so the vesicles migrate up to the cell membrane and glucose transport proteins can fuse with it. Thus, more glucose can be taken in by cells. Insulin also cause glycogenesis (converting glucose into glycogen) and inhibits gluconeogenesis and glycogenolysis.

Basically insulin decreases blood glucose concentration (eg. after eating) and glucagon increases it (eg. skipping breakfast in the morning)
