Answer: A. the lens focuses light on the retina

The lens is composed of transparent, flexible tissue and is located directly  behind the iris and the pupil. it is the secondary part of the eye after the cornea. by changing it's shape the lens changes the focal distance of the eye and focuses the light that passes through it and into the retina in order to create clear images of objects. it also works together with the cornea to refract, or bend light.

good luck and a great day to you.

Mary bought three flowering plants for her garden. The first one has red tubular flowers filled with nectar; the second one has
uranmaximum [27]
I would say that the first flower attracts birds etc. t go and drink it's nectar (also I know that humming birds are attracted to red), and thus spread it's pollen. The second flower most likely attracts bees seeing how t is also sweetly scented, but has no nectar. This must mean that it only has pollen, which bees are great at spreading! I have no clue about the last one....Maybe bugs or bats?? Those are the only other pollinators I know of. It could possibly be that there is no pollinator for the third flower and it just tries to keep animals and insects from eating it with it's shape and odor and just relays on the wind for pollination.<span />

When blood glucose levels rise, the hormone ___ is released from the ___ to convert excess glucose into glycogen, a short-term e
Mariana [72]

Answer:

insulin; pancreas.

Explanation:

An endocrine system refers to a series of ductless glands and organs responsible for the production and secretion of hormones that are used by the body for the performance of various functions such as metabolism, controlling growth, reproduction, mood, sleep, etc. These hormones are secreted directly into the circulatory system (blood) and then transported to the organs and tissues in the body.

Basically, the endocrine system contributes significantly to the state of homeostasis in the body.

Homeostasis can be defined as a process through which a living organism maintains a steady or stable physical, internal and chemical environment that is ideal to enhance life and proper functionality.

Generally, when the blood glucose levels of a person rise, through an endocrine system, the hormone known as insulin is released from the pancreas to convert excess glucose into glycogen, which is typically a short-term energy storage molecule for the body.

In conclusion, the endocrine system maintain homeostasis by releasing insulin from the pancreas to decrease blood sugar and releasing glucagon to increase blood sugar.
