Homeostasis is defined as a state of equilibrium or balance. In a living organism, each kind of specialized cells are designed in such a way that they work independently to perform the specific functions assigned to them. At the same time, however, there is a need for harmony among the different specialized cells so as to maintain equilibrium in the body. A failure of one organ or system disrupts the homeostasis of the whole living body.

knockout of the circadian clock protein per1 exacerbates hypertension and increases kidney injury in dahl salt-sensitive rats
seropon [69]

Knockout of the circadian clock protein per1 exacerbates hypertension and increases kidney injury in dahl salt-sensitive rats resulting in worsening of the SS hypertensive phenotype (1).

A circadian clock factor BMAL1, significantly found in kidneys, is known to affect blood pressure. Moreover, a diet high in salt is associated with immune cell infiltration in the kidney and consequently increases blood pressure. The BMAL1 factor is also responsible for expressing various genes. Mice, when treated with BMAL1 showed aging phenotypes like muscle weakness, changed gait, decreased mobility, inactivity, etc.

PER1 is a circadian clock transcription factor and is regulated by aldosterone. Nice on PER1 knock-out develops reduced sodium excretion with day and night differences. This is done in response to a high-salt diet.

According to the Law of Conservation of Mass, the mass of a substance should ___________ during a chemical reaction.
chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer:

B is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Law of conservation of mass states that the mass of an object never changes with time. This means that during a chemical reaction mass of reactants always remains the same even after the formation of products.

We can conclude that the law of conservation of matter states that during a chemical reaction, the amount of matter does not change .

Glycogen is an energy-storage molecule in humans. A hormone that is called insulin controls the storage of glycogen in the liver
expeople1 [14]

The statement "Glycogen is a carbohydrate, and insulin is a protein" correctly identifies the types of macromolecules that are described. Thus, the correct option is D.

<h3>What is the main function of Glycogen?</h3>

The main function of glycogen is to control the release of glucose into the blood when the condition is glucose deficient. It is the liver that directly contributes to the release of glucose into the blood.

Insulin is a hormone that is made up of amino acids, hence it is a small protein that contains almost all structural features of proteins.

Glycogen is a complex carbohydrate that can easily and rapidly coverts the form of glucose into energy.

Therefore, the correct option for this question is D.
