Insulin is an important hormone that allows the body to use glucose from food. After an individual eats a meal, glucose travels

through the blood stream and reaches beta cells in the pancreas. The glucose causes the beta cells to release insulin. Insulin then travels through the blood stream and attaches to insulin receptors on other cells, which allows them to take in glucose and use it for energy.
What does this information best demonstrate?

A.
Only certain cells can use glucose to produce energy.
B.
Cells interact with other cells for regulation and homeostasis.
C.
A hormone is a protein that performs many functions in the body.
D.
Beta cells are not necessary for glucose to be utilized.

Sergeu [11.5K]
<span>The correct answer is c. ​hypothalamus to pituitary gland to adrenal glands.
</span>
When it comes to stress, hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal axis (HPA) is responsible for stress response. Hypothalamus releases corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) which binds to its receptors on the anterior pituitary gland. As a result, adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) is released and it stimulates the release of cortisol from the adrenal gland. At a certain levels of cortisol, this steroid hormone exerts negative feedback to the hypothalamic release of CRH.

What components and structures of membrane facilitates unequal distribution of polar and charged molecules on two different side
chubhunter [2.5K]

The <u>Ion Channels of membrane</u> facilitates unequal distribution of polar and charged molecules on two different sides of membrane.

The traveling wave of electrical excitation, known as an action potential/nerve impulse, can carry a message without attenuation from one end of a neuron to the other as speeds as great 100m/sec or more.

The voltage is an electrical potential energy that is caused by the separation of opposite charges, in the case of across membrane.

It is so because a membrane potential arises when, there is a difference in electrical charge on both the sides of a membrane, due to a slight excess in positive ions over negative ones on one side and a slight deficit on the other.
