Answer:
Blood sugar levels rise quickly
Explanation:
When high sugar, or low fiber, starchy foods are eaten in excess, blood sugar levels rise quickly, producing a strain on blood sugar control. The body responds to the rise in blood glucose levels after meals by secreting insulin, a hormone produced by the beta cells of the pancreas (a small gland that resides at the base of the stomach).
A. decrease the burning of fossil fuels

Answer:
c. The function of glucagon is to increase blood glucose concentration. All mentioned processes are consistent with this function.
Explanation:
Glucagon is the enzymes synthesized and released by alpha cells of endocrine pancreas in association with food. Glucagon causes an increase in blood glucose levels and it does so by :
1) Inhibiting the process of glycolysis so that the glucose is used less.
2) Stimulating the breakdown of glycogen to increase the glucose concentration in the blood.
3) Stimulating gluconeogenesis in the liver thus increasing the synthesis of glucose in liver.
All these processes directly increase the level (concentration) of glucose in blood.
Hence option C) The function of glucagon is to increase blood glucose concentration. All mentioned processes are consistent with this function is true
If brain death is confirmed, why does an individual's heart continue beating? As long as the heart has oxygen, it can continue to work. The ventilator provides enough oxygen to keep the heart beating for several hours. Without this artificial help, the heart would stop beating.
