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.

Give the name, atomic symbol, and group number of the element with each Z value, and classify it as a metal, metalloid, or nonme
Viktor [21]

Atomic number = 42

Name = Molybdenum

Atomic symbol  = Mo

Group number = VI(B)6

Mo = Metal

How to find all valves of Z=42?

Here, we are going to find out the name, symbol and group numbers element with the following Z value and their classification as a metal, metalloid, or nonmetal.

The atomic number of the element is 42

Therefore, the name of the element is Molybdenum

The atomic symbol of the element is Mo

The group number of  is VI(B)6

Mo is a metal

Hence, the element is  Molybdenum

Which atom’s ionization energy is greater than that of phosphorus (P)? A. Ba B. K C. As D. Cl
WINSTONCH [101]

Answer is: D. Cl (chlorine).

The ionization energy (Ei) is the minimum amount of energy required to remove the valence electron, when element lose electrons, oxidation number of element grows (oxidation process).

Barium, potassium and arsenic are metals (easily lost valence electrons), chlorine is nonmetal (easily gain electrons).

Alkaline metals (in this example, potassium) have lowest ionizations energy and easy remove valence electrons (one electron), earth alkaline metals (in this example, barium) have higher ionization energy than alkaline metals, because they have two valence electrons.

Nonmetals (in this example chlorine) are far right in the main group and they have highest ionization energy, because they have many valence electrons.

Paul went to his friend's 2 km from his house, he used his bike and took him 9 minutes.
damaskus [11]

The average speed : 3.07 m/s

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

d1 = 2 km

t1 = 9 min

d2 = 1.5 km

t2 = 10 min

Required

The average speed

Solution

Average speed = total distance : total time

total distance :

= d1+d2

= 2+1.5

=3.5 km

total time :

= t1+t2

= 9 min + 10 min

= 19 min

Average speed :

= 3.5 km : 19 min

= 0.184 km/min

= 3.07 m/s

In a redox reaction, why does an element's oxidation number increase
Kazeer [188]
If the element is oxidized, then it's oxidation number would increase.

Let's say we have the following reaction.
2H2O --> O2 + 2H2

To the left, the oxidation number of O is -2, as it is bonded to two H, which is always H+. To the right, we have O2, and all gases have a oxidation number of 0 (zero). We say that O has been oxidized.
