The hormone insulin regulates glucose concentration in the blood through metabolic changes. Complete the flowchart below by movi

ng the labels to the correct targets. Note that one of the targets should have three answers. Not all the labels will be used.
Flowchart:
Blood ----> Increased Glucose Concentration ------> (Fill in Blank) ------> Insulin Released -----> Muscle and Other Tissues (three metabolic effects) ------> (Fillin blank with 3 of the choices) -------> Adipocytes ------> (Fillin Blank)

Choices:

1. Increased glucose uptake
2. increased glycogen synthesis
3. decreased glucose uptake
4. pancreatic alpha cells
5. increased triacylglycerol synthesis
6. decreased glycogen breakdown
7. pancreatic beta cells
8. increased glycogen breakdown

Answer:

Blood ----> Increased Glucose Concentration ------> (pancreatic beta cells) ------> Insulin Released -----> Muscle and Other Tissues ----> (Increased glucose uptake) ------->  (increased glycogen synthesis------  decreased glycogen breakdown) ------ -------> Adipocytes ------>  (increased triacylglycerol synthesis )

Explanation:

Insulin is produced by the pancreas and acts to control blood glucose. When we consume food, it is necessary for glucose to be absorbed by the cells, the glucose molecules that are not absorbed have become loose in the bloodstream, if the amount of insulin in the blood is not at the correct levels, the glucose will accumulate causing problems.

We can summarize how insulin acts in the body with the following flowchart:

Blood ----> Increased Glucose Concentration ------> (pancreatic beta cells) ------> Insulin Released -----> Muscle and Other Tissues ----> (Increased glucose uptake) ------->  (increased glycogen synthesis------  decreased glycogen breakdown) ------ -------> Adipocytes ------>  (increased triacylglycerol synthesis )

Which of the following is a factor that, by itself, does not promote widespread changes in allele or genotype frequencies? a. Ne
defon

Answer:

A new mutation

Explanation:

A mutation refers to the random changes in the DNA of organisms. A mutation changes the allele and genotype frequencies by the introduction of a new allele in the gene pool.

However, mutations are not the major factor responsible for changes in the gene pool of a population as mutations are rare. The rate of mutations is very slow and does not allow it to serve as a major factor to change the allele and genotype frequencies.

Suppose it were possible to conduct sophisticated microscopic and chemical analyses of microfossils found in 3.5-billion-year-ol
soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

The correct answer is option 3. a nucleus.

Explanation:

The first genetic material present in the early organisms were RNA which was present in the microscopic organisms back then 3.5 billion years ago which means it is normal to have RNA in such microfossils chemical analysis.

Since, the nucleus was not present in early life forms of prokaryotes like bacteria. so, it is unusual to find nucleus in the fossils of stromatolite rocks.

Thus, option III is the correct answer.
