Answer:

Glucagon was secreted by his pancreas before he ate the cookies because his blood glucose was low. Insulin was secreted by the pancreas after he ate the cookies because his blood glucose was high.

Explanation:

The two main cells in the islet of Langerhans are called alpha cells and beta cells. The alpha cells secrete a hormone called glucagon and the beta cells secrete insulin. Both are antagonistic hormones.

A rise in blood glucose level stimulates both the synthesis and secretion of insulin. The main functions of insulin are:

- Insulin acts mainly on hepatocytes and adipocytes

- Insulin increases the utilization of glucose in tissues and facilitates the storage of glucose and glycogen in muscles and liver by glycogenesis. By these actions, insulin lowers the blood sugar levels.

- Insulin also increases the synthesis of fat in the adipose tissue from fatty acids as well as glucose.

- it also reduces the break down and oxidation of fat.

- Promotes protein synthesis in tissues from amino acids

Glucagon acts mainly on liver cells and stimulates glycogenolysis resulting in an increased blood sugar.

Thus before having meals (cookies) the blood sugar levels may be low, due to which pancreas secrete glucagon, but after meals the blood sugar level increases thus to bring it down to normal pancreas secrete insulin.

Osteoclasts then become more active without estrogen, and your body breaks down more bone. Certain medical conditions and some medications can speed up the process of osteoporosis. This is called secondary osteoporosis.

If the mouse was in a wire cage and only the weights of the mouse, food, and water were considered, would you come to the same a
zalisa [80]

Answer:

Here is the full question:

(A) If a closed container contains a mouse as well as enough food, water, and oxygen for the mouse to live for 3 weeks,

How much will the container weigh 1 and 2 weeks later after the  mouse has eaten, drunk and exercised (respiration is CO2 emission), and why?

(B) If the mouse was in a wire cage and only the weights of the mouse, food, and water were considered, would you come to the same answer as in (A) and why?

Explanation:

(A) The mouse will weigh the same. This is because solids, liquid, and gases cannot escape the closed container. All of the life processes involving reactions conserve the atoms involved. Some of those atoms will appear in the form of gases, some as solids, and others as liquids but all will be retained in the closed container.

(B) In a wire cage, gases can escape. This means that the weight will not be the same after 1 and 2 weeks. The weight would be less than the original weight of the mouse, it's food, and it's water.
