Answer:

B. Glucagon

Explanation:

Glucagon is a pancreatic hormone, secreted by the alpha cells of islets of Langerhans. Whenever the blood glucose level falls, glucagon is released to increase the blood glucose levels. This function of glucagon is quite opposite to the function of insulin and hence both are antagonistic hormones. Insulin reduces the blood glucose where as glucagon increases the blood glucose.

Glucoagon is large polypeptide of 29 amino acids. Since it helps in increasing the blood glucose homeostatic levels it is called as hyperglycemic hormone. It does so by stimulating certain processes such as:

- Stimulating Glycogenolysis i.e breakdown of glycogen to release more glucose from liver.  

- Stimulating Gluconeogenesis i.e. synthesis of glucose from non-carbohydrate sources like proteins.

- Glucagon inhibits the process of glycogenesis i.e. synthesis of glycogen, the storage form of glucose.

Answer

RIBOSOMES on the ROUGH ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM

Explanation:

This is the site of protein synthesis usually find attached to the rough endoplasmic reticulum or  freely on the cystosol,

When they are attached to the  endoplasmic reticulum they appeared as back dots which makes the surface of ER to appear rough, hence the name ROUGH ER. Smooth ER, lacks Ribosomes, and therefore appears smooth,

Ribosomes  are made up of PROTEIN AND RNA.

They are 25nm in diameter;when viewed under high magnification, where theymade up of  two sub-units  the small and large units.

The protein synthesize by the Ribosomes are passed into the sacs  of Rough E.R  for transportation,

Basically, a complete Ribosomes is refereed to as 70S for prokaryotic ribosomes and 80S for Eukaryotic Ribisomes.This refers to their sedimentation Co-efficient in Svedberg units,the Eukaryotes sediment faster than the Prokaroytes
