This is an example of negative feedback.
After a big meal, glucose levels in the bloodstream increases. The body recognises this change and goes through homeostasis, or the regulation of bodily state or internal environment.
The pancreas secretes insulin, which then binds to insulin receptors. This will result in the uptake of excess glucose from the bloodstream into cells and converted into glycogen to be stored in cells as energy storage molecules.
Since there is the counter effect of body (i.e. when blood-glucose concentration increases, the body sends a signal to decrease the blood-glucose concentration, this is called a negative feedback (instead of a positive feedback, which occurs if for e.g. the body signals cells to increase blood-glucose concentration even after blood-glucose concentration increased after a heavy meal).
Hope this helps! :)
Answer:
so according to me I think it should be a <em><u>true</u></em>
Two ethical issues of using Biotechnology are Affordability and Privacy. Two social issues of Biotechnology are Harm to the environment and Bio-terrorism.
<u>EXPLANATION: </u>
- The most concerning ethical issue of using biotechnology is the cost and access to new treatments.
- The drugs that break clots that cause heart attacks, for example, are extremely expensive and so the common people cannot afford them.
- The second ethical issue is Privacy.
- The technology can decode the human genome which might reveal the future health information of a person.
- The first social issue of using biotechnology is the harm to the environment.
- It is not sure how will the ecosystem react when a new organism is introduced in the ecosystem.
- Another social issue is that terrorists might make new superbugs or infectious viruses, using biotechnology, which might not have any cure.
