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 )

Large numbers of ribosomes are present in cells that specialize in producing ___________molecules
babunello [35]

Answer:

Proteins.

Explanation:

Ribosomes are complex molecules present in all living cells, they are also called organelles. It serves as the site for protein synthesis. They can be gound freely in the cytoplasm or bound to certain organelles like the endoplasmic reticulum. They consist of two major structural components: the small ribosomal subunits, which read the mRNA, and the large subunits, which join amino acids to form a polypeptide chain.

There are 3 types of Ribosomes which are:

• Ribosomes link amino acids together in the order specified by messenger RNA (mRNA).

• Each unit also consist of ribosomal RNA (rRNA) molecules and a variety of ribosomal proteins.

• Transfer ribosomes (tRNA)
