Answer:
C (Prophase)
Explanation:
All cells undergo division in order to produce more daughter cells. Cell division occurs immediately after the interphase, which is a resting and preparatory phase for mitosis or cell division. Prior to cell division, the DNA is found to be coiled around histone proteins to form a structure called CHROMATIN. The process of cell division occurs in four phases; Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, and Telophase.
In the Prophase stage, which is the first stage of mitosis, this Chromatin begins to condense or becomes compact by undergoing further coiling into a visible X-shaped structure called CHROMOSOME. This shape of the chromosome is as a result of the replication into sister chromatids that occurred in the S-phase of interphase.
Red cells take up 40%-50% of the total blood volume
Answer:
1) intake of glucose molecules from the blood by specific transporters
2) high amount of glucose in the blood, sending signals toward the pancreas
3) binding of hormones with receptors on the liver
4) release of hormones from the receptors
5) synthesis of hormones by beta cells
Explanation:
During ingestion of the meal, insulin is produced in response to high blood glucose levels (concentration of glucose increases after digestion of food). Like other hormones, insulin performed its action through binding specific signals to specific receptors e.g, liver, muscle cells. The high glucose level in the blood send signals through hormones to liver, fat, and muscle cell receptors. These receptors release specific hormones to beta cells of the pancreas. In response to the signals from receptors, beta cells synthesize insulin to minimize glucose levels in the bloodstream.
