Biology

Water is essential to life. Water makes up more than 50% of the weight of all living things, and very few organisms can survive a long time with no water. The total amount of water found on Earth never changes but it gets transported by the water cycle.

If Darwin knew of Mendel’s work, how might it have influenced his theory of evolution? Do you think this would have affected how
Viktor [21]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

Darwin proposed his theory of evolution on the premise of natural selection. According to him, organisms which possess favourable characteristics which enable them to survive in their environment are more likely to survive and reproduce, passing on these favourable characteristics to their offsprings.

According to Mendel, the unit of inheritance passed on from parents to offspring are genes. Hence Darwin's factors are Mendel's genes.

If Darwin knew of Mendel's work. It might have influenced his presentation of the idea of passing on favourable characteristics from parents to offspring in the light of genetics.

This would have made Darwin's work to have more empirical backing hence making it more widely accepted.

One role of the pancreas is to help regulate blood glucose levels. Two types of cells in the pancreas, beta and alpha, serve as
solniwko [45]

1. Regulation of glucose blood levels is an example of negative feedback mechanism.

Negative feedback mechanism is a control mechanism involved in homeostasis maintain, in this case maintenance of glucose blood levels in normal range.

Negative feedback mechanism contains sensory system that detects the changes, control system that responds to change and activates mechanisms of effector system that reverse the changes in order to restore conditions to their normal levels.

• Pancreatic cells-sensors

• Insulin-control system

• Body cells- effector cells

2. Blood glucose levels change throughout the day because of the food consumption, but in healthy individuals levels of glucose are successfully regulated via the mechanism of hormones such as insulin and glucagon in a process called glucose blood regulation.

This tight regulation of pancreatic hormones is referred to as glucose homeostasis. Insulin lowers blood sugar and glucagon raises it.

3. If the beta cells are destroyed by an autoimmune disease (immune system attacks its own cells), there would be no insulin release, and consequently, the glucose blood levels would be increased.

Diabetes type I is a metabolic disorder caused by the destruction of insulin-producing pancreatic beta cells.
