Answer:
The liver plays a major role in blood glucose homeostasis by maintaining a balance between the uptake and storage of glucose via glycogenolysis and gluconeogenesis. The liver is the primary organ for glucose metabolism.
Glycogenolysis: Glycogenolysis is the biochemical pathway in which glycogen breaks down into glucose-1-phosphate and glycogen.
Gluconeogenesis: Gluconeogenesis is the synthesis of glucose from non-sugar precursors, such as lactate, pyruvate, and the carbon skeleton of glucogenic amino acids.
Answer:
BMR ; Basal Metabolic Rate
Explanation:
MR is the rate of energy expenditure per unit time by endothermic animals at rest....
Metabolic comprises the process that the body needs to function.
Basal metabolic rate is the amount of energy per unit of timethat a person needs to keep the body functioning at rest
B
Area B of the graph shows the activation energy required if an enzyme was not present
Explanation:
Reactions with high activation energy cannot occur spontaneously. Enzymes are responsible for lowering this activation energy and enabling reactions to occur at a faster pace than natural. An example is carbonic anhydrase enzyme that enables increased rates of carbon dioxide dissolving in and out of blood plasma.
Enzymes distort the bond of reactants such that they become unstable ( this raises the reactants Gibbs free energy). The bonds therefore break and rearrange to form the products of lower and stable energy states.

<span>Facilitated diffusion
Diffusion
occurs because of the movement of molecules from the region of higher
concentration to the region of lower concentration. This movement of
molecules occurs due to a thermal motion. Diffusion normally occurs
between two compartments having difference in concentration. In case of
fluid it moves from the region of higher concentration to the region of
concentration until a balance is reached. The process of diffusion is
very important for the humans as well. The oxygen that humans breathe in
gets diffused with the blood.<span> </span></span>
