The insulin receptors have specific shape that is compatible to the glucose molecules. The glucose molecules bind to these receptors, which tells the pancreas to release insulin in order to lower the blood glucose level. Any kind of change in the shape of these receptors because of mutation will hinder this cell communication and stop the insulin release. This will lead to high levels of blood sugar level.

Answer - In general Insulin receptors help by providing specific shape requirements for the glucose or sugar, so that it can produce insulin and release. 

Just like the role in cells communication it gives role and commands to specific order. In this case its like the insulin receptors.

Describe the size and scale of an atom. Explain the relative size of the nucleus in relation to the size of the entire atom.
arlik [135]

The size of the nucleus of an atom is about 10 raise to power 15 meter, which basically proposes that it is about 10 raise to power -5 or 1/100,000 we can say of the size of the entire atom. A good comparison of the nucleus to the atom is just like a pea in the midst of a track. The volume of the atom is 2 x 1013 times larger than its nucleus.

If the pancreas is producing very high levels of bicarbonate, what hormone would you expect to be found at elevated levels in th
katrin [286]

The answer is aldosterone. This hormone determines the rate of re-absorption of H+ ion and bicarbonate ions by the kidneys. Due to high levels of bicarbonate being produced by the pancreas, the blood will be basic. The kidneys will therefore be signaled to excrete more bicarbonate ions.
