Insulin is produced by beta cells of the pancreas for storing and disposing of the glucose in various parts of the body like liver. This activity is a differentiated function of the beta cells of pancreas only. Although gene for insulin production is present in all cells, it is expressed only in the beta cells. Hence, it is a differentiated function.

Scientists calculated the net primary productivity at two different forest sites. Both forests have the same gross primary produ
Katen [24]

Answer:

The answer is C.

Explanation:

Net Primary Productivity is a term that is used to express the difference between CO2 that is taken in by the plant with photosynthesis minus CO2 that the plant releases.

The two forest sites given in the example may not have the same biodiversity and the same species of plants so we can't be sure of option B.

Again for the same reasons, we can't be sure of option D because we do not know the specific plant species in each forest since they are in different areas.

Option A can be ruled out for the same reasons, the lack of information about the forest sites, since we do not know the death rate of the plants in either of the forests.

Option C can be true because forest A has a higher net primary productivity rate which can be an indication of lower respiratory activity hence lower CO2 production, resulting in the given higher net primary productivity.

I hope this answer helps.

which autonomic system conserves energy by returning the body to a normal activity level through a lowered heart rate and blood
SVEN [57.7K]
The parasympathetic nervous system <span>conserves energy as it slows down heart rate, increases intestinal and glandular activity, and relaxes the sphincter muscles of the gastrointestinal tract. It gets the nickname "rest and digest" for doing exactly so. Typically most active when sleeping, however is also the explanation for post-prandial fatigue, or being tired after eating (especially a large meal).</span>

Staphylococcus aureus is grown in heart-infusion broth at 37°C. If you start exponential phase with 100 cells, and after 90 minu
Nikolay [14]

Answer:

30 minutes

Explanation:

Bacteria reproduce by binary fission, a process by which one parent cell divides to form 2 progeny cells. Because one cell produces 2 progeny cells, bacteria are said to undergo exponential ( logarithmic) growth.

As in the case of staphylococcus aureus, we start with 100 cells ,  and after 90 minutes number becomes 800 that means  , firstly the cells doubled (100 x 2 = 200 ) after 30 minutes. Again after 30 minutes they doubled ( 200 x 2 =400 ) and again after 30 minutes they doubled (400 x 2 = 800). So in 90 minutes 100 cells became 800 cells.

Hence the generation time for S.aureus is 30 minutes.
