How does a liver cell respond to insulin

Biology
2 answers:
Elanso [62]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Insulin stimulates the liver to store glucose in the form of glycogen. A large fraction of glucose absorbed from the small intestine is immediately taken up by hepatocytes, which convert it into the storage polymer glycogen. Insulin has several effects in liver which stimulate glycogen synthesis.

What would likely happen to plant life on Earth if sunlight changed to only release a green pigment?
olga2289 [7]

Answer:If plants were only exposed to green light the rate photosynthesis would decrease. amount of carbon dioxide would increase.

Explanation:

Chlorophyll a: This is the most abundant pigment in plants. Chlorophyll absorbs light with wavelengths of 430nm(blue) and 662nm(red). It reflects green light strongly so it appears green to us.

Descibe how the muscle contracts and recharges starting with the release of Ca+ and ending with the cycle of recharging
Paul [167]

Answer:

Open channels allow an influx of sodium ions into the cytoplasm of the muscle fiber. The sodium influx also sends a message within the muscle fiber to trigger the release of stored calcium ions. The calcium ions diffuse into the muscle fiber.

The outer hair cells change length in response to basilar membrane motion. What does that accomplish?
olga nikolaevna [1]

Outer hair cells change their axial dimensions in response to electrical stimulation.

What is basilar membrane motion?

Hair cell stereocilia move as a result of the basilar membrane's movement. The tectorial membrane and the hair cells, which are connected to the basilar membrane, move along with it when it moves, and the stereocilia bend in response to the relative motion of the tectorial membrane.

The hair cells that are linked to the auditory nerve fibers are stimulated by the basilar membrane's movement. While the outside hair cells actively affect the basilar membrane's vibrations, the inner hair cells convert hydromechanical vibration into action potentials.

With each sound cycle, the intracellular voltage of the outer hair cells varies, causing them to lengthen and contract. This increases the organ of Corti's vibration, enabling exceptionally high hearing sensitivity and frequency selectivity.

Suppose you discover a new form of a nucleic acid, XNA. Like DNA, it is double-stranded. You are interested in its mode of repli
victus00 [196]

Answer:

A: Unlike DNA, XNA replicates conservatively

Explanation:

<em>The replication of the DNA is </em><em>semi conservative.</em><em> This means that newly replicated double helix DNAs usually consist of one parental strands and one newly synthesized strands. The parental DNA unwinds and each strand serves as template for the synthesis of complementary strands.</em>

In the case of XNA, the two strands of parental XNA were found intact, meaning that the newly produced XNA consist of two newly synthesized strands. This thus means that the replication process is conservative.

Hence, unlike DNA replication that is semi conservative, XNA replication is conservative.
