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

Biology

GenaCL600 [577]2 years ago

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.

AUGGCGUUU which of the following DNA strands could have been the template for this RNA?
Delvig [45]

Answer:

3' TACCGCAAA 5'

Explanation:

Transcription is the process by which a particular DNA sequence (e.g., a gene) is used as a template to synthesize a complementary RNA sequence that grows in a 5′ → 3′ direction. This RNA molecule is usually a messenger RNA (mRNA) which is then used to synthesize a polypeptide chain (i.e., a protein) by a process called translation. The complementary RNA molecule produced during transcription is synthesized according to the base pair rules, i.e., Adenine (A) bases always pair with Thymine (T) bases, while Guanine (G) bases always pairs with Cytosine (C) bases. In RNA, Uracil (U) bases pair with adenine, thereby replacing thymines during transcription.

A __________
Paladinen [302]

Answer:

Substitution Mutations

Explanation: A substitution mutation occurs when specific bases (A, T, C or G) in a gene are swapped for different ones. This type of mutation doesn't cause a difference in the number of bases like insertion or deletion mutations do. Substitution mutations just switch out one or more bases for different ones.
