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)

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 )

Use the punnett squares below to model each parent combination after filling in each Punnett square predict then percentages of
Oduvanchick [21]

The provided question is incomplete as it lacks the combinations of parent as metion in the question, however the complete question is attached as the image.

Answer:

There are two parent combinations that are :

1. heterozygous black Ff cross with heterozygous black Ff

2. heterozygous black Ff cross with white ff

Explanation:

1. in first combination the each parent will produce F and f gametes, as it is shown as Capital F so it will be dominant over f as per the rule. so the cross can be shown as :

    F      f

F  FF    Ff

f  Ff     ff

where, FF are black Ff black and ff white offspring. As there is clearly 3 black offspring over one white spring so the ratio is 3:1 or 75% chances of black and 25% chances of white offspring (phenotype).

2. in second combination there would be F and f gametes for black parent and f and f for white parent, thus the offsprig would be :

    F     f

f   Ff    ff

f   Ff    ff

As, there is two black and two white springs are produced than the ratio would be 2:2 or 50% chances of each white offspring and black offspring (phenotype)

Antibodies are composed of two types of peptides, heavy chains and light chains. One of the major classes of antibody molecules
timurjin [86]

Answer and Explanation:

a. form the antigen-binding site ⇒ both chains

The antigen-binding site is formed by one hypervariable region of the light chain (VL) and one hypervariable region of the heavy chain (VH). So, both type of chains contributes to antigen recognition.

b. contain multiple variable domains ⇒ none

Both chains - light and heavy - contain <u>only one</u> variable domain (VL and VH).  

c. are found in the Fab fragment ⇒ both chains

The Fab fragment is composed of portions of both light and heavy chains: each portion contains one variable domain and one constant domain. The Fab fragment binds specifically the antigen.  

d. are found in the FC fragment ⇒ heavy chains

The Fc region is composed of portions of heavy chains (CH² and CH³), so it contains constant domains.  

e. contain only one constant domain ⇒ light chains

Each light chain contains one variable domain (VL) and one constant domain (CL).  

f. contain multiple constant domains ⇒ heavy chains

Each heavy chain contains three constant domains: CH¹, CH² and CH³.  

g. contain only one variable domain ⇒ both chains

Both light and heavy chains contain one variable domain. The difference is given by the number of constant domains: light chains have 1 constant domain while heavy chains have 3 constant domains.
