Answer:
Explanation:
The bloodstream carries glucose-a type of sugar produced from the digestion of carbohydrates and other foods-to provide energy to cells throughout the body. Unused glucose is stored mainly in the liver as glycogen.
Insulin , glucagon, and other hormone levels rise and fall to keep blood sugar in a normal range. Too little or too much of these hormones can cause blood sugar levels to fall too low (hypoglycemia) or rise too high (hyperglycemia).
Normally, blood glucose levels increase after you eat a meal. When blood sugar rises, cells in the pancreas release insulin, causing the body to absorb glucose from the blood and lowering the blood sugar level to normal. When blood sugar drops too low, the level of insulin declines and other cells in the pancreas release glucagon, which causes the liver to turn stored glycogen back into glucose and release it into the blood. This brings blood sugar levels back up to normal
The answer is sac. It
is a fungi that attacks elm trees and is carried by an insect called the elm
bark beetle. It hits the roots and
causes the tree to slowly deteriorate and eventually die due to lack of
nutrients once it is infected by this fungi.
Answer:
The correct answer will be- interstitial fluid hydrostatic pressure
Explanation:
The exchange of fluid between the tissues and the capillaries is determined by the hydrostatic pressure which refers to the pressure exerted by any fluid in an enclosed space.
The pressure exerted by the blood on the walls of the capillary vessels is known as the capillary hydrostatic pressure which is responsible for the exchange of the fluid between tissues and the capillaries.
During the exchange of the fluid from the capillaries to the issues the hydrostatic pressure of the interstitial fluid rises which is known as the interstitial fluid hydrostatic pressure. This pressure opposes the fluid exchange so the capillary hydrostatic pressure is usually found higher than the interstitial fluid hydrostatic pressure.
Thus, interstitial fluid hydrostatic pressure is the correct answer.
Answer:
The description is provided in the explanation section below
Explanation:
ALTERNATION OF GENERATIONS is a unique phenomenon whereby certain organisms switch between a diploid state and a haploid state in their reproductive life cycle. It is a feature of plants (higher and lower).
A plant is a diploid organism (2n) i.e. contains two set of chromosomes. This diploid state of the plant is called the SPOROPHYTE. The diploid sporophyte (2n) of a plant undergoes meiotic division (reduction division) to produce haploid spores. These haploid spores germinates and grows via mitosis (duplication division) to form the haploid GAMETOPHYTE.
The haploid gametophyte (n), via structures called GAMENTAGIA, produces haploid gametes. The male gametophyte produces male gametes (sperm) while the female gametophyte produces female gamete (egg). These haploid gametes eventually fuse in a process called FERTILIZATION to produce a diploid ZYGOTE (2n) i.e. sperm (n) + egg (n) = zygote (2n). The ZYGOTE undergoes series of mitotic divisions (growth) to form the diploid SPOROPHYTE (2n) of the plant. The cycle restarts again in that order, hence it is called ALTERNATION OF GENERATIONS.
N.B: Mitosis maintains the number of chromosomes of the parent cell while meiosis reduces the chromosomal number of the parent cell by half.
