The human body wants blood glucose (blood sugar) maintained in a very narrow range. Insulin and glucagon are the hormones which make this happen. Both insulin and glucagon are secreted from the pancreas, and thus are referred to as pancreatic endocrine hormones. The picture on the left shows the intimate relationship both insulin and glucagon have to each other. Note that the pancreas serves as the central player in this scheme. It is the production of insulin and glucagon by the pancreas which ultimately determines if a patient has diabetes, hypoglycemia, or some other sugar problem.(i hope this can help you) :)
Answer:
p53 helps the cells from passing on mutations that lead to DNA damage. Hence, it is known as the guardian angel of the cell as it helps fight against cancer. However, if p53 becomes defective or missing, then the mutations will lead to cancer.
Mutations in the p53 can also cause the tumor-suppressing genes to convert into tumor causing genes. Hence, mutations in such kind of genes can be very harmful for the body.

<span>The majority of mass of any plant is produced from water from the soil and carbon dioxide with sunlight from the air. 6 CO2 + 6 H2O + sunlight ---> C6H12O6 + 6 O2 ... The gluclose (C6H12O6) is a simple sugar that becomes the biomass of the plant. Other minor contributors to the mass are from fertilizers (mostly N, P, and K) and minerals.</span>
