The correct answer is glycemic load.
In particular, glycemic load estimates the amount of carbohydrates in a serving of food and how each gram of these carbohydrates can affect the blood glucose. It is a measure commonly used in weight-loss programmes and in dietary programs used to treat insulin resistance. It has been shown that common spikes of blood glucose and insulin levels, increase the risk for diabetes.

Answer: Glycemic load

This takes into account the amount of carbohydrates present in the food and how much it will raise a person's <span>blood glucose level after eating a typical serving size meal. Glycemic load combines both the quantity and quality of carbohydrates based on the glycemic index <span> where it is calculated by multiplying the grams of available carbohydrate in the food times the food's glycemic index and then dividing by 100.</span></span> Moreover, it is also used to compare blood glucose values of different types and amounts of foods based on the carbohydrate consumed by an individual.

Neurotransmitters categorized as inhibitory are expected to _______. A. act independently of their receptor proteins B. close po
Ksenya-84 [330]

The correct option is D.

Neurotransmitters categorized as inhibitory are expected to hyperpolarize the membrane.

At inhibitory synapses, release of neurotransmitters causes inhibitory postsynaptic potentials or IPSP, which is a hyperpolarization of the presynaptic membrane.

Actually, depolarization and hyperpolarization occurs on neuron when an ion channel in the membrane open or close which can alter the ability of certain types of ions which enter from or exit out of the cell.

Neurotransmitters which is inhibitory have inhibitory effects on the neuron as it means they can decrease the possibility that the neuron will tend to fire an action. Modulatory neurotransmitters can also affect various neurons at the same time which results in the influencing effects of other chemical messengers.

Inhibitory neurotransmitter somehow decreases the action potential of the neuron. When the action potential falls below a certain level which is called threshold potential, the neuron will not be able to generate action potentials and thereby unable to exit the nearest neurons.

So, neurotransmitters are in general expected to hyperpolarize the membrane in some extent.

Describe facilitated diffusion of ions through the channel proteins
Amiraneli [1.4K]

Facilitated diffusion is usually significant to pass the ions across the hydrophobic layer of the plasma membrane. Transmembrane integral protein and careers proteins provide the channels that allow the ion to pass across the membrane.  When an ion bind to their active site on the protein (note that the proteins are very selective), the protein changes conformation. It is this change in conformation opens up the channel that allows the ions to be passed across the membrane. When the ions are released inside of the cell, the protein resumes normal shape (and the channel also closes) and the active site becomes available again or another ion.
