Answer:
D
Explanation:
All other answers are not true.
Answer:
1) The genetic changes can lead to a reduction in the capacity of the mice to move glycogen at its branches points and lowers blood glucose levels between meals.
2) Genetic changed can lead to a decrease in the capacity to lower blood glucose due to the knock out of the hexokinase gene leading to elevated levels in the bloodstream.
(c) A knockout of FBPase2 will result in elevated levels of fructose-2,6-bisphosphate in
liver favoring the glycolytic pathway and inhibiting gluconeogenesis by the decrease of fructose 1,6-
bisphosphatase-1 activity
(d) An active FBPase-2 will now favor gluconeogenesis and this inhibits glycolysis. I.e. a decrease in PFK-1 activity while increasing FBPase-1 activity simultaneously.
<span>A negative feedback loop works by adjusting an output, such as heart rate, in response to a change in input, such as blood pressure. A basic loop consists of a receptor, a control center and an effector. If you are at rest and your blood pressure increases, pressure receptors in your carotid arteries detect this change in input and send nerve impulses to the medulla of your brain, or control center. This signals the brain to reduce nerve impulses that stimulate your heart muscle, an effector, to contract. Your heart contracts more slowly and your output, or heart rate decreases, causing your blood pressure to decrease to within target levels.</span>
Answer: C. The red blood cells released water through osmosis. The release of water helped the blood cells keep a similar concentration of solutes as the outside solution.
Explanation:
Osmosis is a process whereby water molecules move from an area where they are in higher concentration than a solute to an area where they are in lower concentration. They do this by moving through a selectively-permeable membrane.
With sugar added to the solution, the water in the red blood cells will have a higher concentration of water in the cells than the solution so water molecules will move from the cell - through the cell membrane - to the solution. They will keep doing so till the concentration of solutes are more or less similar in both the cells and the solution.
Answer:
melanopsin
Explanation:
this note might help you :
The retinohypothalamic tract (RHT) is a photic neural input pathway involved in the circadian rhythms of mammals. The origin of the retinohypothalamic tract is the intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells (ipRGC), which contain the photopigment melanopsin. The axons of the ipRGCs belonging to the retinohypothalamic tract project directly, monosynaptically, to the suprachiasmatic nuclei (SCN) via the optic nerve and the optic chiasm. The suprachiasmatic nuclei receive and interpret information on environmental light, dark and day length, important in the entrainment of the "body clock". They can coordinate peripheral "clocks" and direct the pineal gland to secrete the hormone melatonin.
information about melanopsin : Melanopsin is a type of photopigment belonging to a larger family of light-sensitive retinal proteins called opsins and encoded by the gene Opn4.[5] In the mammalian retina, there are two additional categories of opsins, both involved in the formation of visual images: rhodopsin and photopsin (types I, II, and III) in the rod and cone photoreceptor cells, respectively.
