Question options:

1. Homeostasis

2. Digestion

3. Embryology

4. Cellular respiration

Answer:

<u>1. Homeostasis</u>

Explanation:

Sugar level in humans is regulated by "Insulin" and "glucagon" hormones that are secreted by the pancreas. Both hormones work in a balanced way to regulate the blood sugar level within a specific range if the sugar levels spike or drop.

Together,<u> </u><em><u>insulin and glucagon help maintain a state known as homeostasis</u></em><em>.</em> By definition, homeostasis is the maintenance of the internal environment of cell/body with respect to the external environment. Thus, homeostasis maintains a relatively stable state that persists despite changes in the world outside.<u> When blood sugar is too high, the pancreas secretes more insulin which acts to trigger breakdown of sugar thus reducing its level. By contrast, when blood sugar levels drop, the pancreas releases glucagon to allow conversion of macromolecules to simple sugars and raise its level.</u>

PLS ANSWER I WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST
mezya [45]

Answer:

Photosynthesis is a process used by plants and other organisms to convert light energy into chemical energy that can later be released to fuel the organisms' activities. This chemical energy is stored in carbohydrate molecules, such as sugars, which are synthesized from carbon dioxide and water, "light", and sunthesis, "putting together". In most cases, oxygen is also released as a waste product. Most plants, most algae, and cyanobacteria perform photosynthesis; such organisms are called photoautotrophs. Photosynthesis is largely responsible for producing and maintaining the oxygen content of the Earth's atmosphere, and supplies most of the energy necessary for life on Earth.

Although photosynthesis is performed differently by different species, the process always begins when energy from light is absorbed by proteins called reaction centres that contain green chlorophyll pigments. In plants, these proteins are held inside organelles called chloroplasts, which are most abundant in leaf cells, while in bacteria they are embedded in the plasma membrane. In these light-dependent reactions, some energy is used to strip electrons from suitable substances, such as water, producing oxygen gas. The hydrogen freed by the splitting of water is used in the creation of two further compounds that serve as short-term stores of energy, enabling its transfer to drive other reactions: these compounds are reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) and adenosine triphosphate (ATP).
