Answer: Sympathetic Nervous System.

Explanation:

The sympathetic nervous system is part of the autonomic nervous system. The sympathetic nervous system activates what is often termed the fight or flight response. The sympathetic nervous system directs the body's rapid involuntary response to dangerous or stressful situations. A flash flood of hormones boosts the body's alertness and heart rate, sending extra blood to the muscles. Breathing quickens, delivering fresh oxygen to the brain, and an infusion of glucose is shot into the bloodstream for a quick energy boost. The sympathetic nervous system allows animals to make quick internal adjustments and react without having to think about it.

A frameshift mutation that occurs very early in a protein sequence would have what effect on the protein's structure? see sectio
ExtremeBDS [4]
I think a frameshift mutation that occurs very early in a protein sequence would have an effect on the structure of the protein such that the primary, secondary, and tertiary structures would be altered. A frameshift mutation occurs when a protein is drastically altered because of an insertion or a deletion. Insertions and deletions cause a change in the length of a gene, which causes a shift in the codon reading frame.

After a big meal, in those individuals who do not have type i diabetes, the pancreas secretes insulin, which circulates through
chubhunter [2.5K]
This is an example of negative feedback. 

After a big meal, glucose levels in the bloodstream increases. The body recognises this change and goes through homeostasis, or the regulation of bodily state or internal environment.

The pancreas secretes insulin, which then binds to insulin receptors. This will result in the uptake of excess glucose from the bloodstream into cells and converted into glycogen to be stored in cells as energy storage molecules. 

Since there is the counter effect of body (i.e. when blood-glucose concentration increases, the body sends a signal to decrease the blood-glucose concentration, this is called a negative feedback (instead of a positive feedback, which occurs if for e.g. the body signals cells to increase blood-glucose concentration even after blood-glucose concentration increased after a heavy meal).

Hope this helps! :)
