Answer:

This hormonal control of blood glucose levels is an examples of negative feedback response.

Explanation:

The blood glucose concentration maintain their concentration through negative feedback mechanisms.Alpha and beta cell present in pancreas. Alpha and beta cell  produced insulin and glucagon which act as a antagonistic hormones and control blood glucose level.

Insulin is secreted by beta cell.Beta cell secreted insulin when glucose level increased in the blood.Insulin helps to stimulate  liver to absorb glucose.Liver convert glucose to glycogen and adipose cells convert the glucose to the fat.In response, glucose concentration decreases in the blood, and insulin secretion discontinues (through negative feedback from declining levels of glucose)

Glucagon is secreted by alpha cells. when the concentration of blood glucose level drops then alpha cells secrete glucagon into the blood.Glucagon stimulates the liver for release of glucose. When blood glucose levels return to normal then glucagon secretion stopped.Its a negative feedback response.

Use of fossil fuels has increased the total amount of carbon in the carbon cycle.
nika2105 [10]

The correct answer is option a. true.

The fossil fuels, including coal and oil are present very deep inside the earth. In the carbon cycle, only fixation of atmospheric carbon dioxide in the organic material takes place. This cycle does not involve the recycling of the fossil fuels.

The burning of the fossil fuels directly release carbon dioxide and other carbon compound in the atmosphere, which was not involved in the cycle when it was present deep beneath the earth and ocean. Hence, the burning of fossil fuels increases the amount of carbon in the carbon cycle.
