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.
Answer:
2. In the natural environment, plants produce their own food to survive. As with photosynthesis, plants get oxygen from the air through the stomata. Respiration takes place in the mitochondria of the cell in the presence of oxygen, which is called "aerobic respiration".
3. Both cellular respiration and fermentation are process that break down food and convert the chemical energy stored in the food to ATP molecules. Both these processes begin with glycolysis and convert glucose to pyruvate. ... Fermentation only uses the latter.
4. Energy is usually absorbed during photosynthesis.
Photosynthesis is the process whereby green plants manufacture their food in the presence of sunlight(energy source), water and carbon dioxide:
6CO₂ + 6H₂O → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂
↑
Sunlight
Sunlight supplies solar energy that is used to converted the chemical species into glucose that stores chemical energy.
Respiration is the reverse of photosynthesis. In this reaction, oxygen gas combines with glucose to produce energy with water and carbon dioxide as by products. The energy stored in photosynthesis is released during respiration.
C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂ → 6CO₂ + 6H₂O ↑ energy

<span>The abnormal formation of the hip joint in which the ball at the top of the thighbone (the femoral head) is not stable within the socket (the acetabulum). The ligaments of the hip joint may also be loose and stretched. The degree of instability or looseness varies.</span>
<h2>Kinase cascade </h2>
Explanation:
Normally, PK2 activates PK1
- PK1 and PK2 normally work sequentially in an intracellular signaling pathway
- If PK1 is permanently activated, a response is seen independently of whether or not PK2 is present
- If PK1 activated PK2, no response should be seen if PK1 were activated in the absence of PK2
- PK2 normally needs to activate PK1 for the cells to respond to the signal
- When PK2 is permanently activated in the absence of PK1, PK1 is not there to relay the signal
The 2 major components or parts that compose or make up the plasma membrane of a eukaryotic cell would be the phospholipids arranged as a bilayer, having phospholipids arranged side by side in an upright and inverted manner, allowing for the hydrophobic and hydrophilic regions to interact respectively, and also Protein molecules, more specifically Transmembrane Proteins and Integral Proteins.
