<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.

What index provides evidence of when different types of life evolved on Earth?
aev [14]

There are all sorts of ways to reconstruct the history of life on Earth. Pinning down when specific events occurred is often tricky, though. For this, biologists depend mainly on dating the rocks in which fossils are found, and by looking at the “molecular clocks” in the DNA of living organisms.

There are problems with each of these methods. The fossil record is like a movie with most of the frames cut out. Because it is so incomplete, it can be difficult to establish exactly when particular evolutionary changes happened.

Modern genetics allows scientists to measure how different species are from each other at a molecular level, and thus to estimate how much time has passed since a single lineage split into different species. Confounding factors rack up for species that are very distantly related, making the earlier dates more uncertain.

These difficulties mean that the dates in the timeline should be taken as approximate. As a general rule, they become more uncertain the further back along the geological timescale we look. Dates that are very uncertain are marked with a question mark.

This condition is also known as nearsightedness:
Contact [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is B. Myopia is also known as nearsightedness.

Explanation:

Myopia is a refractive defect of the eye in which parallel light rays converge at a focal point located in front of the retina, instead of converging on the same retina; it is the inverse defect to farsightedness, in which the light rays reach the retina before converging.

A person with myopia has difficulty focusing well on distant objects, which causes visual acuity deficits and can also lead to headaches, strabismus, visual discomfort and eye irritation.
