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.
Not sure, I would probably go with B) an information-gathering process
Answer:mutualism
Explanation:
In a mutualistic relation,both organisms involved benefit from the activities of each other. The benefits may be nourishment,shelter, protection etc.
In the above example,the birds are known to guide humans by responding to specific calls made by the human. They guide humans to beehives and then in return gets to feed on left over honey. Both the bird and human benefits by getting nourishment.
Mutualism is unlike parasitism where one of the organism involved benefits and the other organisms Is most likely harmed. It is also not commensalism, where one organism benefits and the other neither benefits nor is harmed
In human, Oogenesis in comparison to spermatogenesis is different in that Oogenesis does not complete meiosis until after fertilization, but spermatogenesis is complete before the sperm leave the body. Oogenesis is the process by which the female gametes, or ova are created in the female's ovary. Spermatogenesis is the process in which males synthesis sperms. The two process are part of gametogenesis which involves meiosis type of cell division, in which a diploid cell divides into four haploid daughter cells.
