ivanzaharov [21]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

By using the secretion of insulin and glucagon.

Explanation:

When the level of glucose in blood is high the pancreas secretes insulin that sends a negative feedback signal to the liver to absorb glucose. Synthesis of fats is initiated, glucose transported to the muscles and adipocytes for storage through glycogenolysis.

When the levels of glucose are too low in the blood, the pancreas secretes glucagon to initiate the breakdown of glycogen by the liver.

adelina 88 [10]

Answer:

The correct answer is option d) an interaction between nature and nurture.

Explanation:

This idea is supported by the interaction between nature and nurture. This means that all our genetically acquired aspects such as genes, inherited physical characteristics, etc. work together with the environment in which we grow, the relationship we observe in our family, the people with whom we interact and the environment in we were raised.

<u>Both concepts interacting with each other </u>form what is known as a language acquisition device.

Here it is established that all <u>children are born with the ability to learn language and reproduce it through what they observe around them</u>.

Be it the way your parents speak, the friends around you and anything in the environment that can influence this aspect.

What part of the rotifer is responsible for crushing food?
frozen [14]

Answer:

Rotifers are specialists at living in habitats where water dries up regularly.

The Monogononta, which have males, produce fertilised 'resting eggs' which can resist desiccation (drought) for long periods.[11]

The Bdelloids, who have no males, contract into an inert form and lose almost all body water, a process known as cryptobiosis. Bdelloids can also survive the dry state for long periods: the longest well-documented dormancy is nine years. After they have dried, they may be revived by adding water. In this, and several other ways, they are a unique group of animals.[12]

Explanation:

The front has a ring of cilia circling the mouth. This gave the rotifers their old name of "wheel animalules". There is a protective lorica round its body, and a foot. Inside the lorica are the usual organs in miniturised form: a brain, an eye-spot, jaws, stomach, kidneys, urinary bladder.

Rotifers have a number of unusual features. Biologists suppose that these peculiarities are adaptations to their small size and the transient (fast changing) nature of its habitats.
