1. Regulation of glucose blood levels is an example of negative feedback mechanism.
Negative feedback mechanism is a control mechanism involved in homeostasis maintain, in this case maintenance of glucose blood levels in normal range.
Negative feedback mechanism contains sensory system that detects the changes, control system that responds to change and activates mechanisms of effector system that reverse the changes in order to restore conditions to their normal levels.
• Pancreatic cells-sensors
• Insulin-control system
• Body cells- effector cells
2. Blood glucose levels change throughout the day because of the food consumption, but in healthy individuals levels of glucose are successfully regulated via the mechanism of hormones such as insulin and glucagon in a process called glucose blood regulation.
This tight regulation of pancreatic hormones is referred to as glucose homeostasis. Insulin lowers blood sugar and glucagon raises it.
3. If the beta cells are destroyed by an autoimmune disease (immune system attacks its own cells), there would be no insulin release, and consequently, the glucose blood levels would be increased.
Diabetes type I is a metabolic disorder caused by the destruction of insulin-producing pancreatic beta cells.
Answer:
The genotype for the pink flower is Rr and the genotype for the white flower
is rr. This would lead to a 50% chance of the offspring having a phenotype of pink.
Explanation:
Answer:
The physical and chemical properties of a compound differ from its component elements.
Explanation:
Answer: The correct answer is -
C) Mutualism.
Explanation:
Mutualism is a type long term biological relationship between two organisms belonging to same or different species in which both are benefitted from one another.
For example - E.coli bacteria, present large intestines of human, gets food and place to live in our digestive tract. In return, the bacteria produce vitamin K, which make it harder for other disease causing bacteria to establish in our system.
Thus, option C) is the right answer.
Answer:
C. Carbon Dioxide
Explanation:
In a process called “photosynthesis,” plants use the energy in sunlight to convert CO2 and water to sugar and oxygen. The plants use the sugar for food—food that we use, too, when we eat plants or animals that have eaten plants — and they release the oxygen into the atmosphere.
