After school, Kai feels hungry and tired. He finds some sugar cookies in the cabinet and finishes the whole package. Which state

ments best describe the role of glucagon and insulin in this scenario? Glucagon was secreted by his pancreas before he ate the cookies because his blood glucose was low. Insulin was secreted after he ate the cookies because his blood glucose was high. Insulin was secreted by his pancreas before he ate the cookies because his blood glucose was low. Glucagon was secreted after he ate the cookies because his blood glucose was high. Glucagon was secreted by his pancreas before he ate the cookies because his blood glucose was low. After he ate, insulin from the cookies increased his blood sugar levels. Insulin was secreted by his pancreas before he ate the cookies because his blood glucose was low. After he ate, glucagon from the cookies increased his blood sugar levels

The correct answer is Glucagon was secreted by his pancreas before he ate the cookies because his blood glucose was low. Insulin was secreted after he ate the cookies because his blood glucose was high.  

At the time of hunger, the blood glucose level decreases, and glucagon at that time, that is, the hormone discharged by the islets of Langerhans increases the level of sugars in the body. The stored glucose in the liver gets discharged due to the presence of glucagon, which eventually elevates the level of glucose in the blood.  

In the given case, when Kai ate the cookies, the level of glucose in the blood got increased and even elevated from the normal level in the blood. At that time, the insulin hormone is discharged from the islets of Langerhans, which helps the cells of the body to absorb the molecules of glucose and thus lowers the concentration of glucose in the blood. Therefore, both the hormones help in monitoring the levels of glucose in the body.

Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

Locomotion and feeding

trapping dust

Explanation:

Paramecium is an organism that belongs to kingdom protoctista. They swim in water through beating of the cilia. They also feed on tiny organisms that are swept into the oral groove through beating of the cilia.

During gaseous exchange in mammals, along the nasal passage are cells with cilia that trap dust particles and beats to move mucus and dust trapped up to the larynx.

Which of the following sources of electricity DOES NOT employ the use of turbines?
AleksandrR [38]
<h3>Answer:  A) Solar</h3>

=========================================================

Explanation:

The sources of wind, hydro, and fossil fuels all use a turbine. So we can rule out choices B,C, and D.

A turbine is basically a wheel that spins to generate motion energy into electrical energy. Think of it like one of those stationary bicycles and the bike powers up a nearby lamp (the faster you pedal, the brighter the bulb gets). Another example that's similar to a turbine would be those flashlights where you can rotate a crank to have the light come on (which is useful for when the batteries are completely dead). The windmill blades act as a giant turbine that the wind spins around. Hydroelectric turbines are spun by the falling water. Fossil fuels are burned to create very hot steam which then powers a turbine. Even nuclear power uses turbines as well. With fossil fuels and nuclear energy, the idea is to heat up a vat of water and then turn that intensely hot steam into electrical energy through a turbine.

With solar panels however, the electrical energy is converted through a process of sunlight interacting with the solar cells that <u>doesn't require a turbine</u>. This explains why you can use solar panels to power up devices such as phones or laptops without having any moving parts. All you need is  a flat set of solar panels.

There is a slight variation of solar power known as "concentrated solar power", aka "concentrated solar thermal", where solar panels are not used. Instead, a vast array of mirrors are set up to aim the suns rays at a very specific narrow area. Think of it like a magnifying glass to focus the suns rays. The place where the narrow beam hits has a very high temperature. This high temperature heats up water to turn to steam, and the process from here is effectively the same as fossil fuels or nuclear energy. So that means turbines are involved with concentrated solar power. I'm assuming your teacher is specifically referring to solar panels when they mentioned choice A.
