Describe the mechanism of blood sugar regulation (20 marks)​

Biology
2 answers:
Marina CMI [18]2 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Insulin helps the cells absorb glucose, reducing blood sugar and providing the cells with glucose for energy. When blood sugar levels are too low, the pancreas releases glucagon. Glucagon instructs the liver to release stored glucose, which causes blood sugar to rise.

The pancreas releases glucagon when glucose levels fall too low. Glucagon causes the liver to convert stored glycogen into glucose, which is released into the bloodstream. High BG levels stimulate the release of insulin. Insulin allows glucose to be taken up and used by insulin-dependent tissues, such as muscle cells.

What is a reproductive strategy
Bumek [7]
A reproductive strategy presents an approach of a type of an organism to reproduction and of taking care of it's offspring.  

Generaly speaking, there are two main reproductive strategies, K and R reproductive strategies.

The organisms that apply the R strategy produce a great number of small, independent offspring and when the offspring is born or hatched it's left to
try to survive on its own. This strategy is used by bacteria, many invertebrates, and reptiles.

On the other hand, the K strategy organisms produce a small number of offspring that they care of for a significant amount of time after they are born. This strategy is used mostly by mammals and birds.

Scientist can determine the age of ancient objects by a method called radiocarbon dating. The bombardment of the upper atmospher
IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

3688.323years

Explanation:

Given-

Half life of 14C = 5730years

As we know -

A_{(t)} = A_0e^{kt}

Where

A_{(t)} = Mass of radioactive carbon after a time period "t"

A_0= initial mass of radioactive carbon

k =radioactive decay constant

t =time

First we will find the value of "k"

\frac{1}{2} = (1)*e^{k*5730}\\

On solving, we get -

e^{5730*k}= 0.5\\5730*k = ln(0.5)\\k = -0.000121

Now, when mass of 14C becomes 64% of the plant  material on earth today, then its age would be

A_{(t)} = A_0*e^{(-0.000121*t)}\\A_{(t)}= 0.64*A_0\\0.64*A_0 = A_0*e-^{(0.000121*t)}\\t = 3688.323years
