Contact [7]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Magma is generated within Earth's mantle, the thick layer between Earth's crust and outer core. Rock found deep within the crust is extremely hot, soft, and pliable, but rock does not become liquid until much deeper in the upper mantle. Pockets, or chambers of magma, can originate at various depths within the earth. The composition of the magma varies and indicates the source materials and depth from which they originated. Silicon dioxide (SiO2) is the predominant ingredient in magma. Other ingredients include aluminum oxide, iron, magnesium, calcium, sodium, potassium, titanium, manganese, phosphorus, and water.

Nasim is driving on a snow-covered road, and her car begins to slide. The quick behavioral response and the increased heart rate
Luda [366]

Answer:

1. sympathetic

2. parasympathetic

Explanation:

The sympathetic division of the autonomic nervous system triggers the release of stress hormones from adrenal medulla under emergency conditions. There is a series of physiological responses such as increased heart and breathing rate, an increased flow of blood to skeletal muscles, dilation of pupils, etc. These events helped Nasim to fight the stress conditions.  

Once she was relieved, the parasympathetic system is activated that shut down the physiological responses generated by sympathetic division. It slows down the breathing and heart rate and triggers the digestion and absorption of nutrients to restore the energy level of cells.

Glucagon, a peptide hormone, is upregulated when blood sugar levels are low. Which molecules in or on the plasma membrane would
Arlecino [84]

Answer: Receptor protein.

Explanation:

The receptor protein on the cell surface would enable a cell to respond to glucagon. The glucagon binds to the GPCR on the liver and muscle cells and is known as glucagon receptor.

This receptor then stimulates cells to release glucose into the blood stream. Another hormones involved during this process is glucagon like peptide 1.

It works by binding to another GPCR which is GLP-1 receptor found on the pancreatic cells.
