The liver plays an important role in modulating blood glucose levels by removing glucose from the blood during periods of abunda

nce or secreting it into the blood when blood glucose concentration is low. However, the liver doesn't simply stockpile glucose. Rather, it polymerizes it into glycogen, which it can then hydrolyze back into glucose monomers as needed. Why would storage as glycogen be better than simply storing the glucose.

Answer: glycogen is insoluble in water

Explanation:

Glycogen is a better storage of glucose because Glycogen is insoluble in water thus, because of the glycosidic linkages. Storing glucose as glycogen will not upset the osmotic pressure rather than glucose which is soluble in water and if it is stored as glucose it will disturb the osmotic pressure making the solution hypertonic that will cause the cell to lyse.

The glucose from glycogen is readily mobilized and is therefore a good source of energy when needed rather than free floating glucose

LenKa [72]

Answer:

Charles Ehler: incorrect.

Wendell Mullison: correct.

Robert Rodriguez: correct.

Judy Johnson:correct.

Explanation:

-Charles Ehler´s statement is incorrect because in order for a chemical company launch a new product it must pass several tests, that´s why products lasts years in proves, there are several tests such as the environment test that proves that the product doesn´t affect other species, or the human safety that makes sure the product doesn´t affect human health.Wendell Mulison´s statement proves to be correct with this as well.

-Robert Rodriguez´s statement  is correct because even though there are several tests that take care human healt there are just a few based on the damage pesticides produce to the land where are used.

-Judy Johnson´s statement is correct because science has proved that the resistant of parasites as being increasing with the products tat are used to combat them. Bacterias are an example of it, many drugs used against bacterias are now useless for some people because of the resistantthey have developed.

-One specie that can be taken as a pesticide can be the ground snail, that affects some plants and also may contain a parasite aclled "Hepatic fasciola" that affects sheeps and goats of farmers.

-One viable method to control pesticides is the sue of other species to control them, this specie has to be adequate to the land, for example, if a farmer wants to get rid of the ground snails because of the parasite and  the damage they do to their platings, they can introduce ducks to the farm that eat them without damaging the land with any kind of chemical product.

How do bacteria develop resistance to drugs
Elenna [48]

Answer: Bacteria gain resistance to drugs because of mutations (permanent and random changes to their DNA) which means they have changed DNA coding, giving them the ability to resist the drug fighting them off. As a result, they survive and reproduce. Over time, more and more bacteria are generated as the DNA code for resistance is passed on over generations. This results in bacteria having the ability to resist drugs. This is particularly prevalent with antibiotics.
