Biology
1 answer:
Helga [31]3 years ago

Answer: Viruses, although not living things, do show some characteristics that they are living. Because they can't reproduce by themselves (without a host), viruses are not considered living. They are made of proteins and glycoproteins like cells are. They contain genetic information needed to produce more viruses in the form of DNA or RNA.

They are acellular, that is, they contain no cytoplasm or cellular organelles. They carry out no metabolism on their own and must replicate using the host cell's metabolic machinery.

Topic: Blood Sugar
Alja [10]

Answer: Blood sugar/blood glucose levels are controlled by negative feedback involving the hormones human insulin and glucagon.

Explanation:

Insulin is produced in the increased , if there is too little glucose in the blood the pancreas is triggered and released more insulin to change glucagon into glucose, this regulates the amount of glucose in the blood. However if there is too much glucose in the blood (after a sugary meal) the pancreas is triggered to use insulin to lower the blood glucose levels, this is called negative feedback. This works by storing glucose as glucagon in the blood, insulin can be objected into the blood stream if a person needs it straight away(eg type 1 diabetes.)
