Read the passage below about acupuncture. Acupuncture is an alternative medicine that uses wire-thin needles inserted by a train

ed practitioner into specific points in the body. This ancient form of pain relief and stimulation is said to benefit patients by blocking channels which practitioners claim allow pain to travel within the body. This practice became more widely recognized and used after a New York Times reporter wrote in 1971 of a positive experience with it after surgery. Those who doubt the effectiveness of this treatment for pain attribute the pain relief to a placebo effect: if a patient believes something will reduce their pain, they will experience some relief. The National Institutes of Health says that acupuncture relieves pain and reduces nausea and vomiting, although it is unclear how it works. The few adverse effects reported are due to improperly sterilized needles or improper delivery, making this still a fairly low risk option. For anyone considering acupuncture, they should first research its effectiveness for their specific condition. Summary of statements published by the National Institutes of Health Which statement best explains the scientific claim about how acupuncture treatment reduces pain?

The hormone _______________ is released from the pancreas when blood glucose is elevated above a normal range.
Viktor [21]
<span>The hormone INSULIN is released from the pancreas when blood glucose is elevated above a normal range.

This hormone regulates your blood sugar level. When your blood glucose is elevated above a normal range, the insulin is released from the pancreas. It then attaches itself to the cells and signals them to absorb the excess sugar from the blood stream. 

If your blood sugar level is low, insulin signals the release of stored sugar to the blood stream to maintain the normal level of your blood glucose.</span>

What are all of the energy transformations that take place as sunlight is converted to usable energy within humans
Charra [1.4K]
<span>The energy transformation in the sun is primarily the change of nuclear energy to light energy. 

More Explainable: </span><span>The sun is said to "burn hydrogen" but what that really means is that near the center of the sun there is enough temperature and pressure to cause the fusion of hydrogen nuclei (protons) into helium nuclei (two protons and two neutrons). The fusion (not fission) reaction energy give off energy in a complex way that includes heat and light. The light works its way out from the center of the sun to the surface and eventually out of the surface into space. That is the sunlight we see as well as some light that is outside our range of vision. The light is electromagnetic energy. </span>
