<span>The correct answer would be C. The adrenal glands, which are also known as suprarenal glands, are glands that belong to the endocrine system. Adrenal gland produces the steroids aldosterone and cortisol and various hormones including adrenaline which help in the response of an individual to stress. They are found above the kidneys. Each of the gland has an inner medulla and an outer cortex which produces steroid hormones. The adrenal cortex has three zones which are zona glomerulosa, the zona fasciculata and the zona reticularis.</span>

Which statement correctly compares and contrasts the three stages of cellular respiration that occur in the presence of oxygen? Each stage occurs in the mitochondria, but only the final stage produces ATP. Each stage produces ATP, but only the third stage occurs in the mitochondria. Each stage produces ATP, but only the first stage occurs in the cytoplasm. Each stage occurs in the cytoplasm, but only the final stage produces ATP.
<h2><u>
Answer</u>:</h2>
Each stage produces ATP, but only the first stage occurs in the cytoplasm.
<h3><u>Explanation</u>:</h3>
Cellular respiration is the process by which the glucose or any respiratory substrate is burned down inside a cell producing ATP or energy. This process of cellular respiration is seen in each and every living cell. The glucose is burned in the cytoplasm of the cell producing the pyruvate. This pyruvate is decarboxylated into Acetyl CoA and transferred inside the mitochondria. So the glycolysis or the 1st step of cellular respiration occurs in cytoplasm and rest inside the mitochondria.
ATP is produced from each astep of cellular respiration. So the correct option is option C.
Hormones glucagon and insulin are produced in the alpha and beta cells respectively in the Islet of Langerhan in the pancreas. They are involved in the negative feedback system of blood glucose regulation in homeostasis.
GLUCAGON: when there is a low blood glucose concentration, the pancreas detect this and alpha cells produce and release glucagon. Glucagon causes the cells of the body to absorb less glucose from the blood. It also inhibits the process of converting glucose into glycogen (glycogenesis) and cause gluconeogenesis (process of converting amino acids/proteins and lipids/fats into glucose) and glycogenolysis (conversion of glycogen to glucose). Finally, glucagon decreases the rate of respiration so less glucose is required.
INSULIN: when blood glucose is high, insulin is released. Insulin binds with cell surface receptors of cells and activates the enzymes attached to the receptor. The enzymes cause a conformational change in the structural proteins that surround glucose transport protein containing vesicles, causing them to move out of the way so the vesicles migrate up to the cell membrane and glucose transport proteins can fuse with it. Thus, more glucose can be taken in by cells. Insulin also cause glycogenesis (converting glucose into glycogen) and inhibits gluconeogenesis and glycogenolysis.
Basically insulin decreases blood glucose concentration (eg. after eating) and glucagon increases it (eg. skipping breakfast in the morning)
Answer: A. Extirpation
Explanation:
The term extirpation is also known as local extinction. It is situation whereby a particular species ceased to exist in an environment where it was once found, though it's existence is still observed elsewhere.
Extirpation maybe as a result of unfavorable environmental and human factors such as hunting, food scarcity and climate variation.
