If we take a look at the phylogenetic tree of bears presented in the picture above, we can see that the branch number one is the common ancestor to all living bear species, which means that the whole group has a uniform origin. and the
phylogenetic tree has a root. Therefore, the group is monophyletic, not <span>polyphyletic ( meaning that the whole group has the same origin) and not paraphyletic ( there is no group that has been excluded from the tree).</span>
99% of calcium is found inside the cells of the body.
This provides the soil with nutrients. When the remains of the crops decompose they release nutrients into the ground rather than leaving the ground barren
Answer:
B. Glucagon
Explanation:
Glucagon is a pancreatic hormone, secreted by the alpha cells of islets of Langerhans. Whenever the blood glucose level falls, glucagon is released to increase the blood glucose levels. This function of glucagon is quite opposite to the function of insulin and hence both are antagonistic hormones. Insulin reduces the blood glucose where as glucagon increases the blood glucose.
Glucoagon is large polypeptide of 29 amino acids. Since it helps in increasing the blood glucose homeostatic levels it is called as hyperglycemic hormone. It does so by stimulating certain processes such as:
- Stimulating Glycogenolysis i.e breakdown of glycogen to release more glucose from liver.
- Stimulating Gluconeogenesis i.e. synthesis of glucose from non-carbohydrate sources like proteins.
- Glucagon inhibits the process of glycogenesis i.e. synthesis of glycogen, the storage form of glucose.
I believe this is the answer you are looking for:
