Answer:Releasing insulin to decrease blood sugar and releasing glucagon to increase blood sugar

Explanation: homoestasis is the process by which the body keep it's internal environment constant, regardless of change in the external environment. The human body has a normal range in which it's system operates and it uses homoestasis to keep these at constant.

Homeostasis could be positive or negative. It usually involves a sensor which detects the changes in the body and passes the information to the control center, a control center which receive information from the sensor and sends signals to the effectors and the effector which acts on the information sent by the control center to effect normalcy.

In this case, when a person eats food,he gets glucose. Blood sugar most be kept at constant so the endocrine system release the hormone insulin. Insulin helps to convert glucose to glycogen, which is the form it can be stored in the liver

When the blood sugar levels is low, the brain which is the control center causes glucagon to be released . This hormone converts glycogen to glucose

What volume in mt, of 0.5a M1HCI solution is needed to neutralize 77 ml of 1.54 M NaOH solution?
Rainbow [258]

Answer:

237.2 mL.

Explanation:

  • We have the rule: at neutralization, the no. of millimoles of acid is equal to the no. of millimoles of the base.

(XMV) acid = (XMV) base.

where, X is the no. of (H) or (OH) reproducible in acid or base, respectively.

M is the molarity of the acid or base.

V is the volume of the acid or base.

<em>(XMV) HCl = (XMV) NaOH.</em>

<em></em>

For HCl; X = 1, M = 0.5 M, V = ??? mL.

For NaOH, X = 1, M = 1.54 M, V = 77.0 mL.

<em>∴ V of HCl = (XMV) NaOH / (XV) HCl = (</em>1)(1.54 M)(77.0 mL) / (1)(0.5 M) = <em>237.2 mL.</em>

Why do we have thumbs?
alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

According to Goog|e, "As the thumb is opposable, <u>it allows people to position it against other digits of the hand to manipulate or hold an object</u>. Some evidence suggests that this ability makes the thumb responsible for roughly 40% of the hand functions."

What is the mole of 125 mg of Na? How many Na atoms?
Crank
(125 mg Na) x (1 g/1000mg) x (1 mol of Na/22.99 g) = 5.43 E -3 mols of Na

5.43 E -3 mols x 6.022 E 23 = 3.27 E 21 Na atoms

When hydrochloric acid and zinc were combined, the flask was sealed and thus no gas could escape from the flask. why did the pre
JulijaS [17]
When hydrochloric acid and zinc were combined, the salt zinc chloride and hydroge gas are being produced in the flask. The flask was said to be sealed and, therefore, no gas could escape from the flask. As the temperature decreases, the pressure inside would decrease since the gas would have lower kinetic energy and would have less force to exert on the walls of the flask. This is also evident from the equation PV = nRT. As we can see pressure and temperature are directly related which means as one decreases, the other decreases as well or as one increases, the other would increase accordingly.
