Explain the process in which hormones secreted by the pancreas function with respect to increased glucose levels in the blood.

Biology
2 answers:
Karo-lina-s [1.5K]3 years ago
7 0

Explanation:

When blood glucose levels increase above set point, the hormone insulin, which is produced in the beta cells of the Islets of Langerhans in the pancreas, is secreted into the bloodstream. The insulin binds to insulin receptors on cell membranes of liver cells, which results in accelerated conversion of glucose to glycogen, and a slower conversion of glycogen to glucose. This caused blood glucose levels to fall back to normal range again.

A complementary process in nature either adds (options 3, 6, and 7) or removes ( options 4 and 5) carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.

<h3>Complementary processes and it's benefits</h3>

The processes that leads to the addition of carbondioxide back to the atmosphere include the following:

  • The eruption of volcanoes.

  • Cellular respiration carried out by organisms to release energy from food molecules.

  • The use of gasoline to power cars

The processes that leads to the removal of carbondioxide from the atmosphere include:

  • The production of energy-rich carbon compounds through photosynthesis.

  • The dissolution of carbondioxide in rainwater.

After incubation, you observe that your streak-plate has heavy, uniform growth but no isolated colonies. Which of the following
Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

Option 3 and 4 are most likely correct

Explanation:

<em>Option 3</em>: We know that area 1 would contain heavy streaking and not single colonies. Therefore, if the loop crosses area 3 and enters area 1, it will definitely result in heavy streaking again.

<em>Option 4</em>: We always need to sterilize properly the loop when streaking in different areas. If we don't do it, it is possible that the loop contains a lot of bacteria that would be streaked again.

Options 1 and 2 are incorrect because, according to question, there is a uniform growth but no isolated colonies. So, contamination or mixed culture would not produce uniform growth streaking rather mixed with other bacterial types.

Which statement best explains how the rock shown in this photo was deformed​
meriva

Answer:

B. Stress caused by forces that stretch an area of the crust made the rock to break

Explanation:

From the picture inserted to this problem, we see a unit that has been severely fractured.

Fracturing results from the brittle deformation of a rock under applied stress.

  • Rock fracturing results in the formation of joints and faults.
  • We can obviously see different sets of joint sets on the body of the rock in the picture attacked.
  • Also, a prominent fault which resembles an extensional fault can also be seen.
  • Therefore, the stress caused the stretch of the area which in turn makes the rock the rock to break.

Which of the following is NOT one of the three major types of stimuli to trigger endocrine glands to manufacture and release the
almond37 [142]

Answer:

option C. permissive stimuli

Explanation:

The three major kinds of stimulus that triggers the endocrine glands to synthesize and release hormones are humoral stimuli, hormonal stimuli and neural stimuli. The humoral stimulus regulates the release of hormones with the changes in the concentration of extracellular fluids. For example, the increase of glucose concentration in blood causes pancreas to release hormone insulin.

The hormonal stimuli allows secretion of hormone only with the secretion of any other hormone. The hypothalamus gland secretions allows the anterior pituitary gland to secrete hormones. The release of thyroid hormone is an example of hormonal stimuli.

The neural stimuli allows the production of hormones directly from the glands. The production of epinephrine and norepinephrine hormones are the example of neural stimuli. Thus, option C is correct.
