Answer:

c. The function of glucagon is to increase blood glucose concentration. All mentioned processes are consistent with this function.

Explanation:

Glucagon is the enzymes synthesized and released by alpha cells of endocrine pancreas in association with food. Glucagon causes an increase in blood glucose levels and it does so by :

1) Inhibiting the process of glycolysis so that the glucose is used less.

2) Stimulating the breakdown of glycogen to increase the glucose concentration in the blood.

3) Stimulating gluconeogenesis in the liver thus increasing the synthesis of glucose in liver.

All these processes directly increase the level (concentration) of glucose in blood.

Hence option  C) The function of glucagon is to increase blood glucose concentration. All mentioned processes are consistent with this function is true

Additionally, due of how cancer medications affect the body, there is a potential that they could result in other side effects that could not show up for several months or even years after the medication has been taken. Some forms of cancer may be among these unintended consequences.

How does caring for a person with Alzheimer's
spin [16.1K]

Answer: caring for a person with alzheimer's can affect family in all kinds of ways

Explanation: financially alzheimer's affects  a family member by then paying for the treatments for the person with alzheimer's and may have to stop working in order to care for that person . phsically it could be a lot of work to deal with an alzheimer's patient alone without help . Emotionally it could affect the family member because alzheimer's is a disease that only effects older adults destroys the memory , thinking skills , and ability to carry on simple task , so the alzheimer's patient wouldn't even  remember the person that is caring for them after a couple of minutes . the family member caring for the alzheimer's patient would probably be devastated . societies today could create donations to get the treatments to provide for the people with the alzheimer's disease .

 i hope this helps !! :)
