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 )

How can a child get a chromosome that is totally different from the original chromosomes of both parents
Oduvanchick [21]
This can happen because you have recessive and dominant characteristics passed down. So you can get a totally different chromosome that doesn't come from your parents because your grandparents may have had it or great grand parents, the line keeps going .

What is mutation? why are mutations more serious when they occur in a sex cell?​
Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

A mutation is the changing of the structure of a gene, resulting in a variant form that may be transmitted to subsequent generations, caused by the alteration of single base units in DNA, or the deletion, insertion, or rearrangement of larger sections of genes or chromosomes. Mutations in sex cells are more serious because they are heritable and affect the next generation.
