1. Regulation of glucose blood levels is an example of negative feedback mechanism.
Negative feedback mechanism is a control mechanism involved in homeostasis maintain, in this case maintenance of glucose blood levels in normal range.
Negative feedback mechanism contains sensory system that detects the changes, control system that responds to change and activates mechanisms of effector system that reverse the changes in order to restore conditions to their normal levels.
• Pancreatic cells-sensors
• Insulin-control system
• Body cells- effector cells
2. Blood glucose levels change throughout the day because of the food consumption, but in healthy individuals levels of glucose are successfully regulated via the mechanism of hormones such as insulin and glucagon in a process called glucose blood regulation.
This tight regulation of pancreatic hormones is referred to as glucose homeostasis. Insulin lowers blood sugar and glucagon raises it.
3. If the beta cells are destroyed by an autoimmune disease (immune system attacks its own cells), there would be no insulin release, and consequently, the glucose blood levels would be increased.
Diabetes type I is a metabolic disorder caused by the destruction of insulin-producing pancreatic beta cells.
Mrs. Lopez has the most difficulty initiating digestion of proteins after her stomach is removed. The correct option is C.
Explanation:
When the stomach is removed due to complications such as in cancers the food eaten directly goes to intestine. Without stomach Mrs Lopez will have difficulty in starting the digestion of protein.
The digestion of protein takes place and starts in the stomach and duodenum of intestine. There are enzymes as pepsin, trypsin and chyomtrypsin secreted by stomach and pancreas. Pepsin breaks the peptide bonds of protein.
The HCl and the enzymes in stomach initiates the process of digestion of protein. The amino acids formed are ardent in various metabolic processes and repair.
lipids and carbohydrate digestion starts from the mouth only as salivary amylase and lipase initiates the process.
Answer:
True
if it was sexual reproduction then the offspring will get chromosomes from both parents.
