Many physiological conditions are related to particular proteins in cell membranes. The number of insulin receptors in membranes

is related to the amount of insulin present around those cells. If the presence of increased insulin results in a decrease in receptors and a decrease in insulin results in an increase in insulin receptors, this would be an example of

Answer: This is an example of downregulation and upregulation.

Explanation:

Downregulation is a process in which cells decrease the production of one of their components, responding to an external stimulus. Upregulation, on the other hand, is when cells increase the production of one of their components in response to an external stimulus.

In this case, the decrease in insulin receptors would make the cell less sensitive to the hormone.

If there's a lot of insulin around those cells, the cell would have to decrease its sensitivity, otherwise, it would metabolise more glucose than the body needs. The contrary would happen if there was too little insulin around those cells, they would have to become more sensitive to it by increasing the number of receptors.

solong [7]

Answer:

Opposite sides are congruent (AB = DC).

Opposite angels are congruent (D = B).

Consecutive angles are supplementary (A + D = 180°).

If one angle is right, then all angles are right.

The diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other.

Each diagonal of a parallelogram separates it into two congruent triangles.

Calculate the potential energy of a body of a mass 2kg held 4 meters above the ground if g=10m/s?​
Drupady [299]

Answer:

16000

Explanation:

Mass(m)=2Kg (1kg= 1ooo g then 2 kg=2000 g)

Velocity(v)= 4 meter

Acceleration due to gravity (g)=10m/s

We know that,

P.E= 1/2 mv^2

or, 1/2 × 2ooo × 4^2

or, 1/2×2000 ×16

or, 2000×8

Therefore= 16000

A calorimeter directly measures ______ in order to calculate ______. (1 point)
Aneli [31]

The complete sentence is:

A calorimeter directly measures changes in temperature in order to calculate specific heat.

In fact, the amount of energy acquired/released by a substance is directly proportional to its change in temperature due to the equation

Q=mC_s \Delta T

where Q is the amount of energy, m is the mass of the substance, Cs is the specific heat of the substance and \Delta T is the change in temperature. Therefore, by knowing Q, m and by measuring the change in temperature, it is possible to calculate Cs, the specific heat capacity of the substance.
