C. Organ System
Like said in the definition above, an organ system is a group of organs working together to perform a specific function for the organism.
hope this helps !! have a great day :))
Natural selection is where positive traits survive more, allowing those to become more common. Mutation is where radioactivity changes genes in a random way. Natural selection allows positive mutation to become more common. Adaptation is where natural selection works for a species specifically more a new habitat.
Hormones glucagon and insulin are produced in the alpha and beta cells respectively in the Islet of Langerhan in the pancreas. They are involved in the negative feedback system of blood glucose regulation in homeostasis.
GLUCAGON: when there is a low blood glucose concentration, the pancreas detect this and alpha cells produce and release glucagon. Glucagon causes the cells of the body to absorb less glucose from the blood. It also inhibits the process of converting glucose into glycogen (glycogenesis) and cause gluconeogenesis (process of converting amino acids/proteins and lipids/fats into glucose) and glycogenolysis (conversion of glycogen to glucose). Finally, glucagon decreases the rate of respiration so less glucose is required.
INSULIN: when blood glucose is high, insulin is released. Insulin binds with cell surface receptors of cells and activates the enzymes attached to the receptor. The enzymes cause a conformational change in the structural proteins that surround glucose transport protein containing vesicles, causing them to move out of the way so the vesicles migrate up to the cell membrane and glucose transport proteins can fuse with it. Thus, more glucose can be taken in by cells. Insulin also cause glycogenesis (converting glucose into glycogen) and inhibits gluconeogenesis and glycogenolysis.
Basically insulin decreases blood glucose concentration (eg. after eating) and glucagon increases it (eg. skipping breakfast in the morning)
Answer:
The given statement is True.
A human body is composed of around 60 percent of water, the average range is around 50-65 percent.
Water is a vital nutrient for any living organism including human beings.
Being a universal solvent, it primarily helps in metabolism and transportation of proteins and carbohydrates in our body.
It helps in maintaining the internal body temperature through respiration and sweating.
It helps in excretion of waste material through urination.
It lubricates joints and acts as shock absorbent for the fetus, spinal cord, and brain.
Sedimentary, because of the glaciers that once covered Indiana they lithified which is a part of the rock cycle in the sedimentary division.
