What Is the function of the pancreas?

Biology
2 answers:
Ludmilka [50]3 years ago
8 0

It is part of the digestive system and produces insulin and other important enzymes and hormones that help break down foods. The pancreas has an endocrine function because it releases juices directly into the bloodstream, and it has an endocrine function because it releases juices into ducts.

The pancreas is an important organ that is part of two body systems - the digestive system and the endocrine systems. The pancreas produces the hormone insulin and glucagon. These tell the body how to process glucose.

Why there is uncertainty in science.
andrew11 [14]

Answer: absolute certainty is often difficult to achieve. Scientific uncertainty generally means that there is a range of possible values within which the true value of the measurement lies.

2 things that can cause a cell to lose its ability to regulate its cell cycle properly
Sveta_85 [38]

Answer:

Cancer is unchecked cell growth. Mutations in genes can cause cancer by accelerating cell division rates or inhibiting normal controls on the system, such as cell cycle arrest or programmed cell death. As a mass of cancerous cells grows, it can develop into a tumor. hope this helps

a particle of fluorine shows 9 protons and 18 electrons. is this an atom or an ion? what’s the charge?
spayn [35]

Answer:

Ion i think

Explanation:

I think ion's contain more negative energy from electrons and since it's -18 and 9+ it would be -9 if u add them up

1) Glycogen phosphorylase catalyzes the removal of glucose from glycogen. The ∆G°’ for this reaction is 3.1 kJ/mole 1. Calculate
Andru [333]

Answer:

1. G° = -RT ln (G1P/P)

3.1 = 8.314 × 310 × ln (G1P/P)

3.1 / 2577.34 = ln (G1P/P)

0.0012 = ln (G1P/P)

0.0012 = (log G1P/P)/log 2.71828

0.4342 × 0.0012 = log G1P/P

0.00052 = log G1P/P

G1P/P = 10^0.00052 = 1.0012

P/G1P = 1/1.0012 = 0.9988

2. The cleavage of glycogen phosphorolytically is beneficial for the cell to conduct the process as the discharged glucose is phosphorylated. A general hydrolytic cleavage would give rise to only a glucose, which has to be phosphorylated again with the help of ATP.  

Another merit of phosphorylated glucose is that it comprises the negative charge and cannot diffuse out of the muscle cell. Thus, the reaction will not be at equilibrium under the physiological conditions and always encourages the generation of the products. The formation of products will amend the change in free energy in such a manner that the reaction will always carry in the forward direction.  

3. Greater the ratio of [Pi]/[glucose-1-phosphate], higher will be the relative rate of glycogen phosphorylase in comparison to the phosphoglucomutase as the transformation of Glu-1-P becomes slow because of lesser accessibility of substrate.

Cellular respiration—an overview what are the phases of cellular respiration?
Papessa [141]

Cellular respiration:

Cellular respiration is the process by which cell break down glucose with oxygen to store the energy as adenine triphosphate or ATP. Energy from ATP is used to help the cell perform daily functions like growing, dividing and repairing itself. Glucose can either be created through photosynthesis in plant cells or ingested in animal cells.

There are four phages of cellular respiration.

• Glycolysis

• Transition stage

• Citric acid cycle

• Electron transport chain
