Answer:

  In this given statement , the plastic base becomes negatively charged because  plastic is an insulator . And the metal cup does not become charged because  metal is a conductor.                              

Explanation:

<u>Reason behind , why plastic base becomes negatively charged -:</u> When a plastic base is rubbed with a dry cloth in the metal trophy, electrons are shifted from one material to the other. Thus, the substance that gains electrons (which is the plastic base) becomes negatively charged. thus , the plastic is an insulator , which causes charge (negative ) by rubbing.

<u>Reason behind , why the metal cup does not become charged -:</u>  The metal cup is a conductor, and the surplus charge on the metal flows to the person who charges the cup and to the ground so that it is not charged. Thus, rubbing a metal can trigger hand\finger injury because metals generate excess heat in rubbing .

What two organ systems are most involved in controlling the negative feedback systems of the body?
ololo11 [35]

Answer:

The respiratory system as well as circulatory system (hormonal system) are involved in controlling the negative feedback of our body.

Explanation:

The respiratory system helps in controlling the negative feedback in such a  way that if CO2 level increases in body the system acts in such a way so as to decrease  its level in body . the system attains a normal level by  increasing the blood circulation and increasing the breathing level forcing CO2 outside of our body.

in case of circulatory system, the blood has several hormones released from glands . the most common example is Insulin and Glucagon .

if a person is hypoglycemic then glucagon concentration increases and blood glucose concentration returns to normal and if a person has hyperglycemia then insulin level increases which in turn increases glucose uptake from body and body returns to normal level.

Besides Darwin, the theory of evolution by means of natural selection was also independently proposed by:
lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:

Option A is correct (Alfred Wallace).

Explanation:

Option A is correct (Alfred Wallace).

According to the evolution theory all living species are evolved from a simple life source with the passage of time.

Points of natural selection:

  • Genetic variation are passed from generation to generation but environment can cause variations too.
  • Individuals in species have gene variation which is due to random mutation
  • Those who can not adopt to environment can not have their genes pass to next generation.
  • Natural Selection is also called as "Survival of the fittest".

"secretion of glucagon from the pancreas results in​ ________, which causes​ a(n) ______"__ in blood glucose levels.
Jet001 [13]
Secretion of glucagon from the pancreas results in break down of glycogen, which causes an increase in blood glucose levels. Glucagon is a hormone that is produced by alpha cells in a part of the pancreas known as the islets of Langerhans. It is released in response to low blood glucose levels and to events where the body needs additional glucose, such as in response to vigorous exercise. It stimulates break down of glycogen, activates gluconeogenesis (the conversion of amino aids to glucose) and break down of stored fats into fatty acids. This results to high blood glucose levels.
