Answer:

B) It would decrease.

Explanation:

According to the food chain, the algae represents the producer, the water flea represents the primary consumer, the small fish represents the secondary consumer while the big fish represents the tertiary consumer.

<em>If the population of the producer (the algae) decreases, this will directly limit the amount of food available to the primary consumer (the water flea). The food limitation will lead to a reduction in their population.</em>

Hence, the correct option is B.

Use mitochondrion in a sentence
olga nikolaevna [1]
Mitochondrion a singular word for mitochondria is a "powerhouse" organelle of the cell.

<span>Mitochondrion is an important organelle in most living organisms because it is where biochemical processes of living organisms such as respiration takes place. The mitochondrion has a smooth outer membrane but a larger inner membrane. The inner membrane is about 70% protein and is very convoluted because that can even fit inside the outer membrane. Mitochondrion is the carrier of the Kreb's cycle in the matrix and it is responsible for the transfer of electron chain found in the cristae of the inner membrane.</span>

One role of the pancreas is to help regulate blood glucose levels. Two types of cells in the pancreas, beta and alpha, serve as
solniwko [45]

1. Regulation of glucose blood levels is an example of negative feedback mechanism.

Negative feedback mechanism is a control mechanism involved in homeostasis maintain, in this case maintenance of glucose blood levels in normal range.

Negative feedback mechanism contains sensory system that detects the changes, control system that responds to change and activates mechanisms of effector system that reverse the changes in order to restore conditions to their normal levels.

• Pancreatic cells-sensors

• Insulin-control system

• Body cells- effector cells

2. Blood glucose levels change throughout the day because of the food consumption, but in healthy individuals levels of glucose are successfully regulated via the mechanism of hormones such as insulin and glucagon in a process called glucose blood regulation.

This tight regulation of pancreatic hormones is referred to as glucose homeostasis. Insulin lowers blood sugar and glucagon raises it.

3. If the beta cells are destroyed by an autoimmune disease (immune system attacks its own cells), there would be no insulin release, and consequently, the glucose blood levels would be increased.

Diabetes type I is a metabolic disorder caused by the destruction of insulin-producing pancreatic beta cells.
