As blood glucose returns to its baseline level, the levels of insulin and glucagon in the blood will stabilize. As the blood glucose levels begin to drop below the base line, the concentration of glucagon hormone increases. while as the blood sugar levels increases above the baseline, the level of insulin hormones increases. Insulin and glucagon work antagonistically to maintain the normal level of glucose in the blood.

Their levels stabilize, meaning that insulin and glucagon are constantly circulating throughout the body at low levels. Insulin decreases glucose blood levels, stimulating the uptake of glucose by cells. Glucose attaches to receptors on cells throughout the body, telling those cells to open up and allow it to enter. Glucagon has the opposite effect. When glucose levels decrease in the blood, it stimulates the conversion of glycogen to glucose.

Answer:

The correct option is C) Prions

Bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) or Mad Cow Disease is a disease which occurs due to transmissible particles known as prions. Prions cannot be considered as living organisms as they do not acquire many of the living characteristics. They are just considered as a protein which gest converted into an activated, toxic form as soon as they encounter a host cell. This toxic protein harms the central nervous system (CNS) of the cow host and is transmissible.

Which planet has a dramatic greenhouse effect, no moons and acid in its' clouds? *

drek231 [11]

Answer: venus

Explanation: Venus' thick atmosphere traps heat creating a runaway greenhouse effect – making it the hottest planet in our solar system with surface temperatures hot enough to melt lead. The greenhouse effect makes Venus roughly 700°F (390°C) hotter than it would be without a greenhouse effect.

when examining cells in the lab, you notice that a particular tissue sample has 45% of the cells in the mitotic phase, how do yo

Shalnov [3]

This means that the tissues are most likely from the bone marrow or the epithelium in animals or meristem tissue in plants. These tissues are constantly renewing themselves hence most cells are in mitosis stage. Tissues that are less likely to have such a high number of cells in the mitotic state are bone, connective, and nerve tissues.
