Answer: D) alpha: catabolism

Explanation:

Glycogen is the storage form of carbohydrates in animals. The major sites of storage are liver and muscle.

Glucagon is a polypeptide hormone, it is secreted by the alpha cells of the pancreas. Low blood glucose causes glucagon secretion. When blood glucose level falls, liver glycogen is broken and help to maintain blood glucose level.

Glucagon stimulates the enzyme glycogen phospholylase which breaks down glycogen into glucose units.

Answer:

The adaptation in owl butterfly helps it to camouflage and also protects it from predators. Adaptations allow organisms to be better suited to their environment. So the answer is both 'A' and 'B' .

Explanation:

Owl butterfly use the concept of mimicry. It is a form of <em>adaptation</em> in which they fool the predator in thinking that they are owls and not butterflies. These butterflies have eyespots under their wings. By flashing them they look like the <em>eyes </em>of an owl.

Since owls feed on small animals, and small animals feed on butterflies, the owl butterflies protect themselves from predators. The small animals thinking that the butterfly is an owl, run away instead of coming closer. This way these small insects camouflage and protect themselves.

RideAnS [48]

Full question:

Several parts of an animal cell are involved in the processes of protein synthesis, packaging, and export. Which of the following correctly places the cell parts in the order in which they are involved?

  • nucleus → vacuole → cell membrane
  • mitochondria → vacuole → cell membrane
  • ribosome → endoplasmic reticulum → Golgi complex → cell membrane
  • lysosome → endoplasmic reticulum → Golgi complex → cell membrane

Answer:

ribosome → endoplasmic reticulum → Golgi complex → cell membrane

Explanation

First, the DNA is transcribed into mRNA in the nucleus. The mRNA then moves to the cytoplasm. Here, it encounters the ribosomes.

At the ribosomes. the mRNA is translated into protein. It gets folded in the endoplasmic reticulum and then is transferred to the Golgi complex.

At the Golgi complex, proteins are modified, packaged, and transported to their destination in a series of vesicles, which if it is outside the cell, is the cell membrane.
