Answer:

The hormone glucagon secreted by the pancreatic cells cause the release of glucose from the body's storage.

Explanation:

The pancreas is an organ found inside the abdomen. This organ produces hormones such as:

  • Insulin
  • Glucagon
  • Somatostatin
  • Vasoactive intestinal peptide

Insulin and glucagon are considered primary hormones secreted by the pancreas.

Upon skipping a meal, leading to a drop in blood sugar levels, glucagon is secreted by the pancreas. This hormone then acts on the liver to stimulate the conversion of stored up glycogen present in the liver into glucose. This produced glucose is then released into the blood stream, availing the boy glucose for energy.

Which statement describes why sodium reacts more vigorously than magnesium to hydrochloric acid? Refer to the periodic table. Ci
lions [1.4K]

Sodium has a lower ionization energy than magnesium describes why sodium reacts vigorously than magnesium chloride.

<h3>Why is sodium more reactive than magnesium?</h3>
  • Sodium is more reactive than magnesium because it has the ability to easily lose electron, hence have lower ionization energy.
  • Sodium belong to group one on the periodic table and they are called akali metal while magnesium belong to group two on the periodic table and they are called alkali Earth metal.

  • Sodium and magnesium belong to the in the 3rd period. Iin the outermost energy level sodium has one electron but magnesium has 2 electrons. Therefore, there is more attraction abetween the nucleus and electrons in magnesium than that of sodium.

Therefore, sodium is more reactive than magnesium chloride because of lower ionization energy.
