When blood glucose levels decrease, in between meals, during fasting or from starvation, increased levels of ________ help to in
JulijaS [17]

Answer:

B. Glucagon

Explanation:

Glucagon is a pancreatic hormone, secreted by the alpha cells of islets of Langerhans. Whenever the blood glucose level falls, glucagon is released to increase the blood glucose levels. This function of glucagon is quite opposite to the function of insulin and hence both are antagonistic hormones. Insulin reduces the blood glucose where as glucagon increases the blood glucose.

Glucoagon is large polypeptide of 29 amino acids. Since it helps in increasing the blood glucose homeostatic levels it is called as hyperglycemic hormone. It does so by stimulating certain processes such as:

- Stimulating Glycogenolysis i.e breakdown of glycogen to release more glucose from liver.  

- Stimulating Gluconeogenesis i.e. synthesis of glucose from non-carbohydrate sources like proteins.

- Glucagon inhibits the process of glycogenesis i.e. synthesis of glycogen, the storage form of glucose.

How can pollution reduce the rate of photosynthesis? Research work (60-90 words) unnecessarily,useless answers will be reported
Anna71 [15]

\huge\mathcal\green{answer}

Air pollution has become an extremely serious problem. Air pollutants affect both plants and animals. Under polluted conditions, plants develop different physiological, morphological and anatomical changes. Pollutants cause damage to cuticular waxes by which then they enter the leaves through stomata. This further leads to injury to plants which can be either acute or chronic. Changes in stomata due to air pollutants which seem to be small can be of great consequence with respect to survival of the plant during stress. These effects can further lead to disturbing the water balance of leaf or whole plant. Respiration also gets affected because of the exposure of plants to air pollutants. The present paper deals with the effect of air pollutants on stomata as well as on respiration leading to affect gaseous exchange.
