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.

Write the chemical formula for sodium hypobromite.
irga5000 [103]

Answer:

             NaOBr  (or)  Na⁺ ⁻OBr

Explanation:

The Oxo-Acids of Bromine are as follow,

                           Hypobromous Acid  =  HOBr

                           Bromous Acid  =  HOBrO

                           Bromic Acid  =  HBrO₃

                           Perbromic Acid  =  HBrO₄

When these acids are converted to their conjugate bases their names are as follow,

                           Hypobromite  =  ⁻OBr

                           Bromite  =  ⁻OBrO

                           Bromate  =  ⁻OBrO₂

                           Perbromate  =  ⁻OBrO₃

According to rules, the positive part of ionic compound is named first and the negative part is named second. So, Sodium Hypobromite has a chemical formula of Na⁺ ⁻OBr or NaOBr.

Which of the following statements regarding glucose is FALSE?a) Glucose is the main component of starch and glycogen.b) Glucose
marishachu [46]

Answer:

The correct option is C.

Explanation:

Carbohydrates are one of the macro molecules that are consumed by living organisms. The end product of carbohydrate is glucose. Glucose is a very important fuel that the body cells used to produce energy, which they use to carry out their daily activities. Glucose is also known as blood sugar and it is the only fuel that living cells can use for the production of ATP. Other food macro molecules such as lipids and proteins can also be converted to glucose if there is a need for that. Glucose is always stored in the body in form of glycogen.

The statement given in option C about glucose is wrong because glucose is a monosaccharide and not a disaccharide.

1A: The legs can be a adjusted, as well as the sand can be swapped out. It’s a very good design for running multiple tests.
1B: He could add books or something under the front or back legs in order to increase/decrease the incline, therefore imitating the hypothesis.
1C: He can change out the sand grains to finer ones, or coarser ones, and record his results of each test.
2: If he sets the model at a steep incline and tests it with coarse sand and fine sand, seeing which one makes a narrower, deeper hole.
