Assume Kira went out to eat after the dance competition and consumed an excessive amount of carbohydrates. Which of the following would the pancreas do in order to help her body maintain homeostasis?

A. Secrete glucagon, to stimulate her liver to break down glycogen
and release more glucose into the blood
B. Secrete glucagon, to stimulate her liver to take up the glucose and store it as glycogen
C. Secrete insulin, to stimulate her liver to break down glycogen and
release more glucose into the blood
D. Secrete insulin, to stimulate her liver to take up the glucose and store it as glycogen

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

D. Secrete insulin, to stimulate her liver to take up the glucose and store it as glycogen

Explanation:

Insulin and glucagon are two body hormones that help regulate the level of sugar in the blood, which is an homeostatic process. When food containing carbohydrate is ingested like Kira did after her dance competition, the body digests it into glucose (a sugar). The glucose enters into the bloodstream to be used up as energy source.

At this point, the level of sugar (glucose) in the blood increases, triggering the production of INSULIN hormone by the pancreas. The insulin hormone signals the body cells to absorb the glucose. In order to keep in check the excessive amount of sugar in the blood, some of the cells e.g. liver cells are signalled by insulin to store the excess glucose as glycogen, which will be converted back to glucose later by glucagon hormone when glucose is short in the blood.

How do biological agents contribute to weathering??

Answers

Biological processes can produce chemical weathering, for example where plant roots or microorganisms produce organic acids which help to dissolve minerals. Microbial activity breaks down rock minerals by altering the rock's chemical composition, thus making it more susceptible to weathering.
Growing plant roots can exert stress or pressure on rock. Although the process is physical, the pressure is exerted by a biological process (i.e., growing roots).
Burrowing animals can also move rocks which hit against each other; hence leading to weathering

Explanation:

Because it is the right answer if you do some research.

The oxygen atom of one water molecule is attracted to the hydrogen atom of another water molecule because hydrogen has a partially positive charge and oxygen has a partially negative charge. Thus, the correct option is A.

What is the name of this bonding?

The name of this bonding between the oxygen atom of one water molecule and the hydrogen atom of another water molecule is hydrogen bonding.

The slight positive charge on the hydrogen atom of one water molecule attracts the slight negative charge on the oxygen atom of another water molecule.

This small force of attraction between two different atoms of different molecules is presented by hydrogen bonding.

Therefore, the correct option for this question is A.

Which describes a target cell? releases hormones into the blood produces a particular hormone recognizes a hormone’s chemical structure destroys hormones in the blood

Answers

Answer:

recognizes a hormone’s chemical structure

Explanation:

In living systems, chemical messengers called hormones are secreted into the body via the bloodstream or ducts by certain glands called endocrine glands e.g pancreas, hypothalamus etc. These hormones are meant to effect a physiological change in certain cells called TARGET CELLS.

In biology, a target cell is any receiving cell that has the ability to respond to signals and messengers like hormones. This responding ability of hormones is due to the possession of specific receptor sites for the specific hormones. The receptor on a particular target cell recognizes that specific hormone's chemical structure, hence, will only respond to it.

For example, an insulin hormone secreted by the pancreas will only be responded to by a target cell that recognizes the chemical structure of the insulin protein using its receptor molecule.

Two next-door neighbours use very different strategies when it comes to landscaping their front yards. One neighbour plants a front lawn of lush green grass that requires regular watering and fertilizer application. The other neighbour uses
stone pathways that wind through a variety of drought-resistant wild flowers and shrubs that are native to the area.
Explain why the drought-resistant wild flowers and native shrubs contribute more to the sustainability of a yard than does the lush green grass.

Answers

Answer: When the city/county/state/region declares a drought and stops the use of water on lawns, the green stuff dies.The guy with the drought resistant set up will hardly notice any difference in the look of his yard.

Explanation:

It is observed In the case of grass lawns, that the lush green grasses have more requirements as compared to the area covered with wildflowers and shrubs.

What are their requirements?

The requirements include one of the most essential elements water. Compared to the drought-resistant plants grown by the second neighbor, the grass lawns require a large amount of water for their growth. This in turn adds a burden in the form of water requirements.

How do they survive?

Drought-resistant plants take nutrients in the form of nourishment and protection whereas the grass requires the use of fertilizers as well as chemical pesticides to provide resistance to the grass against the potent pests and due to the requirement of a large amount of water by the lawns, there are chances of these chemicals getting washed away and entering into a nearby water source, and they don't get enough of the nourishment.

The drought-resistant varieties and the native plants are more potent to survive the conditions already present there and thus are more sustainable.

D. Without the trees, precipitation increases dramatically.
SUBMIT

Answers

Answer:

Without the trees, water runs off rather than percolating into the

soil.

Explanation:

Flooding is the excessive flow of water due to increased rainfall. It usually deprives the soil of the affected area of essential nutrients. However, the presence of trees in an area can help prevent or reduce the possibility of flooding. The roots of large trees help hold the soil together, which improves the porousness of the soil. Also, trees store water that is meant to runoff.

Without the trees, the absorption or percolation of water into the ground/soil will be reduced, hence, the excess water runsoff the surface leading to flooding.

Summarize the reasons why systematists separated Domain Bacteria from Domain Archaea.

Answers

Answer:

Initially, Archaea were classified as part of Bacteria, but sequencing technologies enabled them to separate these phylogenetic groups.

Explanation:

Archaea and Bacteria are different domains that belong to a kingdom known as prokaryotes. Prokaryotes are unicellular organisms that lack membrane nucleus, and any class of internal membrane, thereby they neither have organelles. These domains (Archaea and Bacteria) are primarily classified according to the level of sequence homology, being archaea organisms closer to eukaryotes compared than bacteria. Moreover, it has also been proposed that Bacteria are ancestors of eukaryotic organelles.

Due to the certain differences in their morphology and habitats, the Archea are the separate domain from domain Bacteria of life in prokaryotes.

Archaea

It is considered as the different domain of life in prokaryotes. These are the most primitive type and are known as the ancient microorganisms found in extreme niches.
