The main reason would be evolution. A nocturnal animal has developed over time to see better in the dark, camouflage into the darkness, and it most likely relies on scent more than sight. A diurnal animal would mainly rely on sight and smell almost equally, and have a pelt that can blend in with it's surroundings. The ranges also depend on the animal's habitat, whether its carnivorous, omnivorous, or herbivorous. Carnivores mainly rely on scent, omnivores seem to rely equally, and herbivores most likely rely on scent. Chances are, late humans did have stronger senses, but as we evolved past needing to scent predators and prey, we rely more on sight and only really use scent to recognise certain things. Humans aren't in as much danger as other animals anymore, for the most part.

Enzymatic breakdown of which of the following compounds doesn’t begin until it reaches the stomach?
ahrayia [7]

Answer:

B. Proteins

Explanation:

Salivary amylase is an enzyme that starts the breakdown of starch in the mouth. Gastric glands of the stomach secrete gastric juice, which contains HCl to kill bacteria and denatures proteins, intrinsic factors, and the enzyme pepsin. The chief cells of gastric glands secrete pepsinogen (an inactive form of pepsin).

Pepsin begins the digestion of proteins in the stomach. It breaks down certain peptide bonds between amino acids and thereby, breaks down protein chain into smaller peptide fragments. Pepsin requires a very acidic environment of the stomach (pH 2) and becomes inactive at a higher pH.

Explain the process in which hormones secreted by the pancreas function with respect to increased glucose levels in the blood.
Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

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.
