Answer:
every muscle cell of the motor unit is stimulated to contract.
Explanation:
Stimulus in biology can be defined as an obvious change in either the chemical or physical structure of an organism' environment (either external or internal). Thus, all living organisms (both animals and plants) respond to changes in their environment and consequently, an appropriate response or reaction is made. Also, stimulus arising from within the organism is known as internal stimulus while those from its environment are known as the external stimulus.
In organisms, the specialized cells that detect stimulus are generally known as sensory receptors while a group of these receptors is referred to as sense organ. Therefore, the senses are necessary for behavior because stimuli must be sensed in order to respond.
Stimulus control can be defined as a phenomenon that arises when a living organism responds or behaves in the presence of a stimulus and in another way in the absence of a stimulus.
For example, opening the door of a microwave oven as soon as its timer beeps.
Example II; When your body touches a hot object, you quickly move away and feel some pain subsequently.
Action potentials generates the nerve impulse in a motor neuron.
When an action potential is generated within a motor neuron, every muscle cell of the motor unit is stimulated to contract.
Answer:
B. Glucagon
Explanation:
Glucagon is a pancreatic hormone, secreted by the alpha cells of islets of Langerhans. Whenever the blood glucose level falls, glucagon is released to increase the blood glucose levels. This function of glucagon is quite opposite to the function of insulin and hence both are antagonistic hormones. Insulin reduces the blood glucose where as glucagon increases the blood glucose.
Glucoagon is large polypeptide of 29 amino acids. Since it helps in increasing the blood glucose homeostatic levels it is called as hyperglycemic hormone. It does so by stimulating certain processes such as:
- Stimulating Glycogenolysis i.e breakdown of glycogen to release more glucose from liver.
- Stimulating Gluconeogenesis i.e. synthesis of glucose from non-carbohydrate sources like proteins.
- Glucagon inhibits the process of glycogenesis i.e. synthesis of glycogen, the storage form of glucose.
7. b and 8. c i attached the photo for u to see how i did it
Answer:
Carbohydrates such as sugar and starch ,for example are readily broken down into glucose i.e the body's principle source of energy .The glucose can be used by the body as an immediate source of energy. Glucose can be immediately used as fuel, or even can be sent to liver and muscles and stored as glycogen .
