Answer:

See the answer below

Explanation:

The amount of glucose in the blood is regulated by the <u>negative feedback mechanism.</u>

When the glucose level in the blood increased beyond the normal level, the pancreas secretes insulin which converts the excess glucose to glycogen. Glycogen is stored in the liver and the muscles.

<em>When a person has not eaten for a while and the glcose level drops beyond normal, glycogen is converted back to glucose and released into the blood by another enzyme produced by the pancreas, glucagon</em>.

Not only does sediment spread horizontality and from youngest (top) to oldest (bottom), it also continues to spread flat in all
Mama L [17]

Answer:

law of superposition

Explanation:

The law of superposition in geology suggests that the sediments are spreading out in a horizontal manner, flat, in all directions, until there's some natural feature that will stop them. It also suggests that the sediments are arranged vertically from the oldest being at the bottom, and the youngest layers being on the top.

Even though this is not always the case in nature, still there are lot of examples that support the law of superposition. When the sediments are aligned in that manner, the geologists find it very helpful and easy to determine the relative age of the layers, as well as the relative age of the fossils that are found in them.
