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.
Mountain slopes have faster erosion because it is easier for fast moving bodies of water to carry down eroded material downhill, rather than across flat land.

Answer:
D.The light-dependent reactions absorb sunlight and transfer the energy to electrons.
Explanation:
Firstly, the organelle that was described as small green organelle inside a cell as noticed by Quinlin is the CHLOROPLAST. Chloroplast is an organelle present in the cells of green plants, in fact, it makes plants green. Chloroplast is the organelle where the unique process of PHOTOSYNTHESIS occurs in plant cells.
However, the photosynthetic process is divided into stages namely: light-dependent and light-independent stages. The light dependent stage, which involves the production of ATP (energy carrier) and NADPH (electron carrier), must PRECEDE the light independent stage or Calvin cycle. Chloroplast contains a pigment called CHLOROPHYLL, which absorbs light energy from the SUN in order to power the light dependent stage of photosynthesis.
Hence, the light-dependent reactions, which absorb sunlight and transfer the energy to electrons must occur first in the organelle.
<u>Answer:</u>
<em>Farmers definitely use the information above to plan out their crops from one year to next.</em>
<u>Explanation:</u>
Nitrogen is an essential nutrient required for healthy plant growth. Corn is an important food crop and after its cultivation the soil is depleted of its nitrogen. <em>Cultivation of any crop on soils that lack nitrogen will not yield good result.</em>
Thus the nitrogen in the soil has to be replenished. Soybean is a crop that has symbiotic bacteria living on its roots. <em>This bacteria help in fixing atmospheric nitrogen.</em> Thus the nitrogen level will get replenished.
Thus cultivating soybean on the land in the period between <em>harvest and sowing of corn would be a healthy practice that increases yield and maintains soil health. </em>
