Hormones glucagon and insulin are produced in the alpha and beta cells respectively in the Islet of Langerhan in the pancreas. They are involved in the negative feedback system of blood glucose regulation in homeostasis.
GLUCAGON: when there is a low blood glucose concentration, the pancreas detect this and alpha cells produce and release glucagon. Glucagon causes the cells of the body to absorb less glucose from the blood. It also inhibits the process of converting glucose into glycogen (glycogenesis) and cause gluconeogenesis (process of converting amino acids/proteins and lipids/fats into glucose) and glycogenolysis (conversion of glycogen to glucose). Finally, glucagon decreases the rate of respiration so less glucose is required.
INSULIN: when blood glucose is high, insulin is released. Insulin binds with cell surface receptors of cells and activates the enzymes attached to the receptor. The enzymes cause a conformational change in the structural proteins that surround glucose transport protein containing vesicles, causing them to move out of the way so the vesicles migrate up to the cell membrane and glucose transport proteins can fuse with it. Thus, more glucose can be taken in by cells. Insulin also cause glycogenesis (converting glucose into glycogen) and inhibits gluconeogenesis and glycogenolysis.
Basically insulin decreases blood glucose concentration (eg. after eating) and glucagon increases it (eg. skipping breakfast in the morning)

Same but different because lizards are very similar to snakes. Snake are just more vicious.
Answer:
Cross the green-pod plant with a yellow-pod plant.
Explanation:
To determine the zygosity of a particular individual, the best way is to cross it with a phenotypically recessive individual.
Such a cross in which an individual with unknown zygosity possessing a dominant trait is crossed with an individual possessing a recessive trait is termed as a test cross.
Therefore, in the given situation the zygosity of the green pod needs to be determined and the green pod is a dominant character. Further, it is given that a yellow pod is a recessive trait, therefore a test cross can be performed between the green pod and yellow pod, and then the offsprings can be observed.
if the offsprings are all phenotypically dominant then the green pod is homozygous and if there are phenotypically recessive offspring also present then the green pod is heterozygous genotypically.
Answer:
You went 1.7 meters a second
Explanation:
Divide the meters by seconds arriving
8.5 / 5 = 1.7
