Answer:
Insulin reduces blood sugar.
Explanation:
Insulin is an hormone produced naturally in the pancreas organ of the body. Insulin is majorly involved in digestion where it helps in the absorption process. Insulin aids the absorption of glucose by cells.
When a meal is eaten, the food digests and breaks down into GLUCOSE, which enters into the blood stream via the small intestine. Insulin ensures that the sugar (glucose) content in the blood REDUCES by moving glucose into cells for respiration (energy production) and storing the excess glucose as glycogen in the liver cells.
The proportion of energy transferred from one trophic level to the next is known as trophic level transfer efficiency or ecological efficiency. The Ten Percent law states that 'net production at one trophic level is generally only 10% of the net production at the preceding trophic level'. In this example, the producer contains 6000 units of energy. 10% of this will be transferred to the primary consumer, i.e. 600 units. In turn, 10% of this energy will be transferred to the secondary consumer i.e. 60 units.
Answer:
There is no image showing the shape of an enzyme, however, the question can still be answered based on basic understanding. The answers are;
- Less binding of substrate
- won't follow the lock-and-key pattern of enzyme binding
Explanation:
An enzyme is a biological catalyst that regulates the rate of chemical reactions in living systems. Enzymes are proteinous in nature and every protein is made up of an amino acid sequence. The amino acid sequence forms a three-dimensional shape that determines the functionality of the enzyme.
Enzymes catalyze reactions by binding to their substrates in a lock and key pattern. This makes enzymes substrate-specific. If the enzyme's normal shape changes, the following will occur:
- Less binding of substrate
- won't follow the lock-and-key pattern of enzyme binding.
