Hormones glucagon and insulin are produced in the alpha and beta cells respectively in the Islet of Langerhan in the pancreas. They are involved in the negative feedback system of blood glucose regulation in homeostasis.
GLUCAGON: when there is a low blood glucose concentration, the pancreas detect this and alpha cells produce and release glucagon. Glucagon causes the cells of the body to absorb less glucose from the blood. It also inhibits the process of converting glucose into glycogen (glycogenesis) and cause gluconeogenesis (process of converting amino acids/proteins and lipids/fats into glucose) and glycogenolysis (conversion of glycogen to glucose). Finally, glucagon decreases the rate of respiration so less glucose is required.
INSULIN: when blood glucose is high, insulin is released. Insulin binds with cell surface receptors of cells and activates the enzymes attached to the receptor. The enzymes cause a conformational change in the structural proteins that surround glucose transport protein containing vesicles, causing them to move out of the way so the vesicles migrate up to the cell membrane and glucose transport proteins can fuse with it. Thus, more glucose can be taken in by cells. Insulin also cause glycogenesis (converting glucose into glycogen) and inhibits gluconeogenesis and glycogenolysis.
Basically insulin decreases blood glucose concentration (eg. after eating) and glucagon increases it (eg. skipping breakfast in the morning)
Answer:
I think it is B. Market Penetration strategy.
Explanation:
I'm very sorry if this is wrong but studying the two possible answer (A or B)
B seemed the most probable due to the definition of the Market Penetration Strategy. Which is essentially "To focus on current products and current markets in order to increase market share". (I hope I was able to help! :)
The answer should be the third option "number of protons and neutrons." The atomic mass of a element is equal to the amount of protons, and neutrons added together in that element. So for example if we are trying to find the atomic mass of hydrogen you would add the total amount of protons and neutrons together to find it's mass although it doesn't equal the exact amount of it's mass but it's close.
Hope this helps.
Answer:
Pyramidal decussation is at the junction of medulla and spinal cord.
Explanation:
Pyramidal decussation may be defined as the the fibers that cross the corticospinal tract from one side to the junction and the other side to the central nervous system.
Pyramidal decussation is the point at the junction between spinal cord and medulla. The motor fibers crosses the midline from the medullary pyramids.
Answer:
Two
Explanation:
Consider the sequence ATGACATGCAATTGA.
Originally, there are 5 codons, translating to a minimum of 5 amino acids: ATG CAT GTC AAT TGA.
A base was inserted after the first G and the third T was deleted, the sequence become (assuming A is the inserted base);
ATG <em>ACA TGC</em> AAT TGA
<em>Only the second and the the third codon are changed and hence, their respective amino acid.</em>
