How does the liver help in maintaining homeostasis

Biology

Answer:

The liver plays a major role in blood glucose homeostasis by maintaining a balance between the uptake and storage of glucose via glycogenolysis and gluconeogenesis. The liver is the primary organ for glucose metabolism.

Glycogenolysis: Glycogenolysis is the biochemical pathway in which glycogen breaks down into glucose-1-phosphate and glycogen.  

Gluconeogenesis: Gluconeogenesis is the synthesis of glucose from non-sugar precursors, such as lactate, pyruvate, and the carbon skeleton of glucogenic amino acids.

ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

Rapidly and Accurately

Explanation:

As an example, eukaryotic human DNA replicates at a rate of 50 nucleotides per second.

Replication occurs so quickly because multiple polymerases<em>, or think: enzyme+polymer=polymerase,</em> can synthesize<em>, or combine or fuse,</em> two new strands at the same time by using each untwined strand from the original DNA double helix as a guide.

DNA replication is so much faster than bacteria replication because it's extremely difficult to replicate DNA accurately, as well as copying molecules that tightly complexed with histones in nucleosomes, which work together to form chromatin, which is the material that chromosomes are composed of, and it's further composed of protein (histones), DNA, and RNA.

Therefore, the reason for human cells taking significantly less time to replicate its genome is <u>accuracy</u>.

Answer:

In plate tectonics, a divergent boundary or divergent plate boundary is a linear feature that exists between two tectonic plates that are moving away from each other. Divergent boundaries within continents initially produce rifts, which eventually become rift valleys. The mid-Atlantic ridge is an example of a divergent boundary, where the Eurasian Plate that covers all of Europe separates from the North American Plate. This underwater mountain range is constantly growing as new crust is formed. Further up that same boundary, it passes through Iceland.

example

Mid-Atlantic Ridge.

Red Sea Rift.

Baikal Rift Zone.
