<span>If a person had only 1000 insulin receptors in each liver cell instead of the usual 90,000 or more, the person would not be able to take in or absorb the normal amount of insulin, store glucose as efficiently, or regulate blood sugar levels as efficiently.</span>

When the levels of glucose in the blood elevate, the beta cells in the pancreas discharge insulin that encourages uptake of glucose for storage and metabolism. This hormone is recognized by the insulin receptors found in the surface of the cell.  

If an individual is having 1000 insulin receptors, in each cell of the liver in spite of exhibiting the usual 90000 or more, then the individual would not possess the tendency to consume or absorb the usual amount of insulin, monitor the levels of sugar as effectively, or store glucose as effectively.

Fern spore germinates into prothallus.

Explanation:

Ferns are members of phylum pteridophyta, the vascular cryptogams.

These are first land plants which are known to have a distinct conducting system of xylem and phloem.

They reproduce by forming spores that germinates into a heart shaped gametophyte.

The gametophyte of the fern is called prothallus.

The heart shaped gametophyte has root like structure called rhizoids.

These rhizoids anchor the gametophyte to the substratum.

Why are there no plants in the aphotic
gladu [14]

Answer:

C, there is not enough light

Explanation:

Let's look at the word "aphotic". It can be broken into two parts, "a" and "photic". "a" means "not" and "photic" means "light". So, together, they mean "not light". Even if we knew nothing about marine life, we could answer this!

Cyclic electron flow in the chloroplast produces
Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer:

A. ATP

Explanation:

The Cyclic electron flow in the chloroplast includes only PSI and does not produce NADPH and oxygen gas. The process produces the only ATP.

During cyclic electron flow, electrons are transferred from the P700 reaction center to the ferredoxin and back to the PSI via cytochrome b6f and plastocyanin.

Since the electrons are not passed to the NADP+, NADPH is not produced. The proton gradient generated during this electron transfer drives ATP synthesis.
