Answer:

constitutional law: Constitutional law is a body of law that defines the role, powers, and structure of different entities within a state, namely, the executive, the parliament or legislature, and the judiciary.

statutory law: Statutory law or statute law is written law passed by a body of the legislature. This is as opposed to oral or customary law, or regulatory law promulgated by the executive or common law of the judiciary. Statutes may originate with national, state legislatures, or local municipalities.

case law: Case law is the collection of past legal decisions written by courts and similar tribunals in the course of deciding cases, in which the law was analyzed using these cases to resolve ambiguities for deciding current cases. These past decisions are called "case law", or precedent.

common law: In law, common law is the body of law created by judges and similar quasi-judicial tribunals by virtue of being stated in written opinions. The defining characteristic of “common law” is that it arises as precedent.

cricket20 [7]

Booker T. Washington and W.E.B. DuBois were two important leaders of the Black community in the United States. However, they each had very different opinions about the role of the African community, and on how equality could be achieved.

Booker T. Washington believed that the Black community needed to adopt a philosophy of self-help, racial solidarity and accomodation. He believed that African Americans had the duty to educate themselves and improve their livelihood in order to be taken seriously by white Americans. On the other hand, W.E.B. DuBois believed that this approach only put an extra burden on black people, while ignoring the responsibilities of whites. He argued that social change had to come through political change, and advocated political action.

I believe that their differences were as substantial as the friction between their followers. The two men had very different opinions about race and advancement. Moreover, I believe that the opinions of Booker T. Washington were more suited to the temper of the times as he took a more positive view of white people and a more negative view of conflict and political activism.

Which of the following statements is true? a. carbohydrate rich meal increases insulin secretion b. a protein rich meal increase

mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer:

E- All of the statements are true

Explanation:

Insulin and Glucagon are hormones, both secreted by the pancreas.

Insulin functions in the conversion of carbohydrates to glycogen which is stored in the body as glucose reserves. This implies therefore that:

A carbohydrate rich meal will stimulate the increased production of insulin.

Glucagon on the other hand, works to breakdown the glucose reserves in situations such as fasting or increased physical activity to make energy available for the body. Glucagon also functions in gluconeogenesis which is the conversion of other nutrient molecules other than carbohydrate, such as amino acids and lactate into glucose to provide energy for the body.

The function of glucagon therefore implies that:

A protein rich meal will increase glucagon secretion
A carbohydrate rich meal will decrease glucagon secretion since it functions on other food molecules
Exercise will increase glucagon secretion
