The answer would be:

D. Insulin

Insulin is a chemical messenger that is responsible for the regulation of blood glucose levels. It is manufactured in the pancreas and secreted by the beta cells as a response to glucose. When glucose levels in blood plasma increase, insulin is secreted to stimulate glucose uptake.

_______ research has the potential to significantly impact the development of disease-modifying treatments for Parkinson's disea

nydimaria [60]

Stem cell research has the potential to significantly impact the development of disease-modifying treatments for Parkinson’s disease with considerable progress made in creating dopamine-progressing cells.

Explanation:

Parkinson’s disease, a neurodegenerative disease, leads to reduction of dopamine (a neurochemical messenger which carries messages involving thinking and body movements to brain) in the body because the disease will target and kill dopamine-producing nerve cells (neurons). This leads to loss of movement and thinking abilities which are activated by dopamine.

Stem cells research is done to study about the prospects of stem cells in stem cell therapy for Parkinson’s patients as a viable source of new dopamine nerve cells. Research has been involved in growing stem cells to replace or regenerate dopamine-producing nerve cells by using embryonic stem cells or induced pluripotent stem cells as a treatment modality in Parkinson’s disease.

Which of these checkpoints determines if cell division has occurred properly?

Tomtit [17]

Cell division has two checkpoints namely, G1 checkpoint and spindle assembly checkpoint. The checkpoint which determines if division has properly occurred is the G1 checkpoint. At this point, is a damage in the DNA is detected or the has not reach the optimum size, the cell is stopped in G1 and is not allowed to proceed to further process.

How has global warming affected biodiversity?

Murrr4er [49]

Answer:

These climate change impacts are in part due to how we have altered land use. Turning natural areas into cities or agricultural fields not only diminishes biodiversity, but can make warming worse by chopping down trees and plants that help cool the planet.
