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.

An organism has the following characteristics: low biotic potential; k-selected, iteroparous; heterotrophic, fed upon by top car
diamong [38]

Answer:

e. vertebrate

Explanation:

The question states that the organism posses the following characteristics:

  • Low biotic potential: this means that the maximum amount of offpring that this species can produce under best environmental conditions is actually low. Typically, large organisms have much lower biotic potential than smaller ones.
  • k-selected: this means that this species typically invest much more in fewer offspring rather than prioritizing many offspring.
  • iteroparous: means that can reproduce many times over one organisms's lifetime.
  • heterotrophic, fed upon by top carnivores large body size (> 2m tall): this shows that they are preys of large carnivores, thus it implies that the prey itself has a considerable size and it is not a plant.

Option a is discarded as seed cones are produced by conifers which are autotrophics.

Option b is incorrect as basidiocarps are typical of Basidiomycetes (fungi) which are not large and are rarely consumed by carnivores.

Option c and d correspond to small animals (e.g. arthropods) and with usually high biotic potential and r-selected species which prioritizes high growth population rates and offspring.

Then, option e (vertebrate) is consistent with belong to a k-selected, low biotic potential, iteroparus, heterotrophic species (e.g. a mammal).

The purpose of Phase II in rehabilitation is to control inflammation.<br> O a. True<br> O b. False
kompoz [17]

The correct answer is False.

Explanation

Rehabilitation has three main phases, the first of which is the first response to an injury, so the main objective in this phase is to defend the body against harmful substances, eliminate dead or dying tissue and promote the renewal of normal tissue. as well as alleviating pain, controlling the inflammatory response to injury and protecting the affected anatomical area. So you have to clean the wound, disinfect it, cover it, and in cases where it is required to put ice to reduce inflammation.

In the second phase the recovery of functional losses, so it is necessary to start making small movements in the affected area to reactivate its functions progressively.

The third phase is advanced rehabilitation in which functional training work begins with the aim of strengthening and putting the affected area back in a movement directed towards sports practice.

Therefore, the correct answer is False, because the inflammation control is done in Phase I and not in Phase II.
