The pancreas regulates blood sugar by the release of either glycogen or insulin. When blood sugar is low, the pancreas releases glycogen to raise blood levels. When blood sugar is too high, the pancreas will release insulin to lower blood levels.

How are fungi and protists similar to plants and animals in the ecosystem?
JulijaS [17]

Explanation:

Since plants and fungi are both derived from protists, they share similar cell structures. Unlike animal cells, both plant and fungal cells are enclosed by a cell wall. ... They both also have organelles, including mitochondria, endoplasmic reticula and Golgi apparatuses, inside their cells.

A scientist determined that a single celled organism has a membrane bound nucleus and organelles. The organism has a cell membra
erik [133]

Answer:

Protista

Explanation:

  1. Firstly, it cannot be bacteria because bacteria is prokaryotic with no membrane bound organelles. And it's cell wall is made of murein (peptidoglycan).
  2. It certainly isn't a virus virus because a virus has no true cellular structure.
  3. Let's see why we ruled out the other 3 eukaryotic kingdoms:
  • It can't be an animal because animal cells don't have cell walls and are multicellular.
  • It can't be fungi because its cell wall is made of chitin, not cellulose.
  • It can't be a plant because plants are all multicellular.

Which of the following statements about ATP-powered pumps is NOT true? All ATP-powered pumps contain at least one transmembrane
MAVERICK [17]

Answer:

Only P-, F-, and V-class pumps transport ions.

Explanation:

The distinct classes of ATPases include:

1) Only the P-type ATPase actively transports ions across biological membranes. P-ATPases (also named E1-E2 ATPases) are found both in plasma and organelle membranes. These ATPases serve to transport ions and phospholipids by hydrolyzing ATP to ADP and phosphate.

2) A- and F-ATPases synthesize ATP by transforming the energy from a gradient of ions across the cell membrane.

3) V-ATPase (also known as Vacuolar-H+ ATPases) acidifies vacuole, lysosome, endosome and Golgi membranes. This type of ATPase couples the hydrolysis of ATP to the active transport of protons across biological membranes.

4) E-ATPases hydrolyze extracellular ATP.
