The correct answer is option a, that is, Vitamin K.

Vitamin K is primarily produced by the bacteria in the large intestine. The dietary sources include the green photosynthetic parts of the plants. The vitamin plays an essential role in the development of many blood-clotting factors in the liver, and their deficit can result in bleeding disorders.

There are two sources of vitamin K; this includes phylloquinone or vitamin K1, which is mainly found in green leafy vegetables and menaquinone or vitamin K2 that is produced by some kinds of intestinal bacteria.

Liula [17]

Answer:

Glucagon signals the liver to start producing glucose.

Explanation:

Glucagon signals the liver to start producing glucose from the breakdown of amino acids through gluconeogenesis process. When the glucose level decreases in the body due to fasting or starvation, the pancreas release glucagon which provides signals to the liver to produce glucose form non carbohydrates substances present in our body. This production of glucose increases the concentration of glucose in the blood and the body used this glucose for the generation of energy molecules in the form of ATP.
