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

AlexFokin [52]

Answer:

The answer to your question is the letter C. three times as much

Explanation:

Data

First step = 6 m

Second step = 18 m

Potential energy is the energy stored that depends on its position.

Formula

Pe = mgh

m = mass; g = gravity; h = height

Potential energy of the first step

        Pe1 = 6mg

Potential energy of the second step

        Pe2 = 18mg

-Divide the Pe2 by the Pe1

        Pe2/Pe1 = 18mg/6mg

                       = 3
