Answer: Receptor protein.

Explanation:

The receptor protein on the cell surface would enable a cell to respond to glucagon. The glucagon binds to the GPCR on the liver and muscle cells and is known as glucagon receptor.

This receptor then stimulates cells to release glucose into the blood stream. Another hormones involved during this process is glucagon like peptide 1.

It works by binding to another GPCR which is GLP-1 receptor found on the pancreatic cells.

Fred's blood was determined to be AB positive. What does this mean? A. Antibodies to A and B are present in the red cells. B. Hi
Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:

A. Antibodies to A and B are present in the red cells.

Explanation:

AB positive is a blood type with the presence of A and B antibodies in the red blood cells, with the absence of A and B antigens. This blood type is referred to as the “universal recipient” because individuals who are AB positive can receive from all blood types including O, A and B. AB positive is only able to donate blood to patients who are AB positive AB is referred to the rarest blood type.

Therefore Fred's red blood cells have A and B antibodies.

1) which is a role of cellular respiration in cycling materials between the atmosphere and biosphere?
ollegr [7]

Answer:

1) The correct answer would be A. it transfers carbon to the atmosphere as carbon dioxide.

Cellular respiration refers to the set of biochemical reactions take place in a cell in order to convert the energy of glucose into adenosine triphosphate (ATP).

The carbon dioxide is released as the byproduct of the process.

C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂ →  6CO₂ + 6H₂O + ATP

2) The correct answer would be D. fermentation can occur without oxygen.

Fermentation is the process which occurs in oxygen is either absent or present in very less amount.

Thus, it enables the cell to survive when oxygen is not available.

For example, in humans, the muscle cells switch to lactic acid fermentation when oxygen supply is decreased during intense exercise.

It produces very less amount of ATP as compared to the aerobic respiration.
