Answer:C Earth's solid surface layer sits on a moving, semiliquid layer.

Explanation:

Earth is highly tectonically active because the solid layer of the earth sits on a moving, semi-liquid layer.

The earth's crust is broken into slabs. Together with part of the upper mantle, they form a layer called the lithosphere. These solid lithospheric bodies are called tectonic plates.

Based on the information provided, what do you think the most ideal parameters would be for optimal glucose production?
Marysya12 [62]

The most ideal parameters for optimal glucose production are insulin sensitivity SI, glucose effectiveness SG, insulin action p2 and the volume of distribution of glucose V.

<h3>What is used for glucose production?</h3>

Insulin, glucagon, and hepatocyte-derived factors are used in these activities. Gut: Hormones are released in the gut in response to nutrition intake. These hormones affect hunger, stomach emptying, glucose production, and glucose elimination.

After eating, the beta cells release insulin into the bloodstream as your blood glucose levels rise. In order for glucose to enter muscle, fat, and liver cells, insulin works as a key to unlocking those cells. The majority of the cells in your body use glucose, lipids, and amino acids (the components of protein) as fuel.

By converting glycogen into glucose, a process known as glycogenolysis, the liver produces sugar or glucose. Additionally, the liver may produce the sugar or glucose that is required by harvesting amino acids, waste, and fat.

Hello there!

As you may know, there are two main types of carbohydrates:

  • Simple
  • Complex

Some examples of complex carbohydrates include potatoes, split peas, pinto beans, asparagus, and practically anything that is low in sugar and high in fiber.

Simple carbohydrates, for the most part, are the complete opposite. When you're eating a sugar cookie or drinking processed juice, you are basically consuming simple carbohydrates.

With this said, the answer to your question is simple carbohydrates.

I hope I helped!

Remember, anything sweet is simple. :)
