CaHeK987 [17]2 years ago
7 0

Answer:

The maintenance of glucose metabolism of body is important for the organism. Before eating breakfast the level of glucose is low so the level of pyruvate and glycogen breakdown occurs to increase the blood glucose level. After eating breakfast, the glucose level is high in the body that causes the increase storage of glycogen to maintain the extra blood glucose level. The amount of pyruvate also changes and decrease as the glycogen stores in the body.

The two main hormone that plays an important role in blood glucose level are glucagon and insulin. The insulin is released in case of high blood glucose level and glucagon is secreted in case of low blood glucose levels.

Identify the correct order of events that allow nutrients from foods to be used by the body. Group of answer choices digestion,
Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

The correct answer is- digestion, absorption, transport, elimination

Explanation:

The process of digestion starts from the mouth with the help of enzymes called salivary amylase present in our saliva. The food then passes through the esophagus to the stomach.  

In the stomach, the food is broken down in small fragments by churning movement which mixes digestive enzymes and food to form chyme.  

This chyme is passed to the small intestine where several enzymes from the liver and pancreas digest the food in smaller particles and absorb these particles in the blood. Therefore absorption takes place in the small intestine.

Then the solid waste material left behind after absorption is transported from small intestine to the large intestine and from large intestine waste is eliminated out of the body.

Therefore the correct order are: digestion → absorption→ transport→ elimination.

Give an example of a thing that is living and a thing that is not living.
goblinko [34]

Answer:

Living things may be distinguished from non-living things in their ability to carry on life processes such as movement, respiration, growth, responsiveness to environmental stimuli and reproduction. This view of living may be appropriate at this age but has some limitations and can lead to the alternative conceptions above. For example movement in plants is not apparent to students and consequently they may not consider plants living.
