How does a liver cell respond to insulin

Biology
2 answers:
Elanso [62]2 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 sets of instructions in each human cell that determine inherited traits called?
larisa [96]

Answer:

Genes carry the information that determines your traits (say: trates), which are features or characteristics that are passed on to you — or inherited — from your parents. Each cell in the human body contains about 25,000 to 35,000 genes.

Explain why the plant with the mutated psaB gene was dying
erik [133]

As given in the graph, mutation in this gene causes a decline in the production of glucose as it obstruct the process of photosynthesis.

<h3>What is psaB gene?</h3>

P700, the primary electron donor of photosystem I (PSI), as well as the electron acceptors A0, A1, and FX, are bound by PsaA and PsaB.

As given in the graph, mutation in this gene causes a decline in the production of glucose as it obstruct the process of photosynthesis.

Thus, the plant with the mutated psaB gene was dying.

In a food chain 200 kg of wheat is fed on by 18 kg of mice which in turn are eaten by 1kg of hawk. What is the percentage energy
Nikolay [14]

Answer:

0.1% of energy

Explanation:

Energy flow: From the whole quantity of energy that reaches the earth's surface, autotroph organisms or producers absorb only 0.1 or 1%.

From the input of solar energy begins a unidirectional energy flow through all the organisms in the ecosystem, from autotrophs to heterotrophs, until it is dissipated in the environment.  

At each trophic level occurs an energy transfer to the next, with only 10% being usable in each of them. This assessment is called "The 10% rule". As a general rule, only about 10% of the energy stored as biomass at one trophic level, per unit time, ends up as biomass at the next trophic level, in the same unit of time.

If wheat transferred 10% of the energy to mice, and of that 10% mice transferred 10% of the energy to hawk, then the percentage of energy transferred from the first trophic level to the third equals 0.1%.

10% (1st TL-2nd TL) / 10% (2nd TL - 3rd TL) = 0.1% (1stTL - 3rd TL)

<em>TL = Trophic level           </em>
