How is homeostasis maintained through blood sugar project

Biology
1 answer:
marin [14]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Homeostasis is the process to maintain balance in body.  Homeostasis in sugar can be maintained by two pancreatic hormones-

1-Insulin

2-Glucagon

Explanation:

Insulin - secreted by beta cells of islets of langerhans in pancreas. It lowers blood sugar level when high concentartion of sugar is present in blood. It converts sugar to glycogen by the process of GLYCOGENESIS. It allows insulin receptors on hepatic cells to absorb glucose molecules from blood. To lowers the glucose concentration in blood stream.

Glucagon - secreted  by alpha cells of pancreas. It increases blood sugar level when sugar level is low in blood. Glucagon converts glycogen into glucose. Stored glycogen can be reconvert into glucose molecules with help of this hormone. this process is known as glycogenolysis. When blood sugar concentration is  low in blood stream.

<em>With the equilibrium between these two hormones homeostasis is maintained through blood sugar project in body</em>

Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

Three reading frames

Explanation:

Translation of mRNA always happen in one direction from the 5' end to the 3' end of the RNA strand.

Reading frame refers to the grouping of three consecutive bases to form a codon that can constitute an amino acid.

There are six possible reading frames in any nucleotide sequence.

Three from the 3' to the 5' end and three possible reading frames from the 5' to the 3' end.

As mentioned earlier, translation in mRNA happens in one direction therefore the three possible reading frames are;

  1. 5'- C AGA UCU AAU GCU UAU CGG AU-3'.
  2. 5'- CA GAU CUA AUG CUU AUC GGA U-3'.
  3. 5'- CAG AUC UAA UGC UUA UCG GAU-3'.

The phrase “too large or too charged” is a helpful way to remember what kinds of molecules need to cross the cell membrane via a
saveliy_v [14]

Answer:

Due to their hole size.

Explanation:

Some molecules can pass directly through the phospholipid bilayer because of their small size which can easily pass through the small holes of phospholipid bilayer, while those that are too large or too charged need to pass through a membrane protein because membrane protein has a large holes through which large molecules can easily pass through the semi-permeable membrane of the cell by active or passive transport.

What role does temperature and ph play in cellular respiration?
laiz [17]
<span>The yeast will produce the most cellular respiration at an optimum temperature.  This temperature will be at a normal room temperature.  If the temperature of the environment surrounding the yeast is too low, the rate will decrease, because the molecules involved in the process of cellular respiration will slow down resulting in lesser rate.  In addition, if the temperature of the environment surrounding the yeast is too great, the rate will also decrease, because the enzymes involved in cellular respiration will denature causing the rate to decrease. Therefore, the yeast will have the greatest rate of cellular respiration at room temperature.  </span>
