Why don't people's cells starve from lack of glucose while they are fasting​

Biology

GenaCL600 [577]2 years ago
6 0
Answer:


Fasting can definitely raise blood glucose. This is due to the effect of insulin falling and the rising counter-regulatory hormones including increased sympathetic tone, noradrenaline, cortisol and growth hormone, in addition to glucagon. These all have the effect of pushing glucose from liver storage into the blood. This is normal. If you are not eating, you want to use some stored glucose. The question is this – if you are not eating, and your blood glucose went up, where did that glucose come from? It can only have come from your own body (liver). So, it’s a natural phenomenon, and the fasting now allows your body to use some of the glucose for energy.

An opportunistic predator switches prey, capturing whichever prey species is most abundant. As soon as the prey numbers dwindle
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

The correct answer is keystone predator.

Explanation:

In sustaining the composition of an ecological community, a keystone species plays an essential function. In the absence of keystone species, the ecosystem would fail to exist and would become drastically different. A predator is a classic illustration of a predator, which inhibits a specific herbivorous species from eradicating the dominant species of plants. In the non-existence of predators, the herbivorous prey would increase enormously and would clean the entire essential plant species, and thus, drastically change the significance of the ecosystem.
