Answer: d. insulin

Actually, there are two hormones secreted by islet cells within the pancreas: insulin and the glucagon.  However, their secretions in response to blood sugar levels, are in opposite fashion!

 

Insulin is normally secreted by the beta cells of the pancreas while glucagon by the alpha cells. The amount of insulin secreted into the blood increases as the blood glucose rises.  In the same way, as the blood glucose falls, the amount of insulin secreted by the pancreas goes down.

In glucagon, it is opposite. If blood glucose is high, then there is no glucagon secreted. Therefore, the answer is insulin.

Answer:

The correct answer will be option- D.

Explanation:

The Pancreas is a small organ which acts as exocrine as well as an endocrine organ.

The endocrine nature of pancreas secrets hormone which helps in maintaining the body functions. The β-cells of pancreatic islets or island of the pancreas secrets a hormone called insulin which helps in maintaining the amount of the glucose in the blood.  The insulin helps the body to use the glucose from carbohydrate by binding to the sugar as well as it helps in the storage of the glucose.

Thus, option- D is the correct answer.

Low blood pressure that occurs on standing up is known as ____.​ a. ​chronic venous insufficiency b. ​raynaud's disease c. ​leukopenia d. ​orthostatic hypotension
Solution 1

The right option is d. ​Orthostatic hypotension

Orthostatic hypotension is a form of low blood pressure that occurs on standing up from sitting or lying down. It is caused as a result of blood loss, dehydration or aneamia. The most common symptom of orthostatic hypotension is lightheadedness or dizziness which usually last less than a few minutes.

Ftsz, mreb, and cres proteins regulate the shape and structure of bacterial (prokaryote) cells. these proteins are homologous to the ________ in eukaryotes.
Solution 1
Ftsz, mreb, and cres ,proteins regulate the shape and structure of bacterial prokaryotic cells. These proteins are homologous to the Cytoskeleton in eukaryotes. Homologous meaning they have the same evolutionary origin but not necessarily having the same function. Cytoskeleton forms a framework for the movement of organelles around the cytoplasm, most organelles are attached to the cytoskeleton.

Question
During childbirth, the baby pushes on the wall of the uterus. this is detected by pressure receptors that signal the brain to release oxytocin. if this is a positive feedback process, select the likely next step.
Solution 1
The next step is likely to be; Oxytocin causes the uterus to contract, further stimulating the receptors, and releasing more oxytocin from the brain. Oxytocin is a vital hormone in human that acts on organs in the body, such as breasts and uterus, they act as chemical messenger in the brain, controlling childbirth and lactation, and aspects of human behavior. During childbirth the hormone causes the uterus muscle to contract during labor so that the body can be pushed out. 
Question
During complex and demanding tasks, teens ________________. overload their frontal lobes overload their flocculonodular lobe distribute the workload evenly throughout the brain distribute the workload evenly between abducens nucleus and globose nucleus
Solution 1
During complex and demanding tasks, teens distribute the workload evenly throughout the brain.  In teenagers the prefrontal cortex is still developing and therefore they may rely on a part of the brain called the amygdala to make decisions and solve problems more than adults. The prefrontal cortex communicates with other sections of the brain through connections called the synapses.
Solution 2

Answer:

The correct answer is: overload their frontal lobes.

Explanation:

The frontal lobes are one of the four major brain lobes found in humans and are located at the front of each hemisphere. Frontal lobes are responsible for many important things, such as voluntary movement, numeracy skills, language and decision making.

The frontal lobes start developing in childhood and keep maturing until early adulthood. Their front part, the prefrontal cortex, is the latest to develop and is responsible for controlling impulses - which explains why kids and teenagers are much more impulsive than adults.

The flocculonodular lobe is in the cerebellum and is involved in moving the head and the eyes in order to maintain balance.

The abducens nucleus (located in the brain stem) coordinates the movements of the two eyes, and the globose nucleus (located in the cerebellum) coordinates the connection between the cerebellum and the rest of the central nervous system.

Question
During fertilization in multicellular organisms, a sperm cell fuses with an egg cell to form a zygote. then, the zygote begins to divide. first, one cell becomes two, then two cells become four, four cells become eight and so on and so forth until a large ball of identical cells is formed. at this point, the ball begins to change. a space forms in the middle, and the cells are pushed inward to form layers. if cell differentiation begins after this phase, what most likely triggers this process?
Solution 1
The process is likely to be triggered by the formation of the layers. Zygote is the structure that forms when a sperm fertilizes an egg, the zygote then divides many times by the process of mitosis to form an embryo. That is, it forms two cells, then four, then eight and so on, up to the eight stage the cells are identical and are called embryonic stem cell, which then develop into any specialized cells type by differentiation, that the growing embryo needs, such as the nerve cells, blood cells, among others.
Solution 2

the formation of the layers

Question
Which event marks the beginning of DNA replication? A. Formation of replication bubble B. Unwinding of DNA helix C. Formation of replication fork
Solution 1
The correct answer is letter C.  

The formation of replication fork marks the event of the beginning of DNA replication. In the cell, the DNA replication begins in the genome where DNA unwinds and produces new strands. This then results into replication forks that grow apart in the process of cell division.

Question
Overinflated tires and underinflated tires can both cause __________.
Solution 1

Overinflated tires and underinflated tires can both cause tire wear. Answer: tire tread wear.

Over time, overinflated tires lead to excessive inner tire tread wear, decreasing the overall lifespan of tires. An overinflated tire is more like to burst.

An underinflated tire is more like to roll  The tire pressure is too low, and too much of the tire is in contact with the road.  The underinflated tires generate heat, causes internal friction in the tire causing premature outer tread wear.

Solution 2

C. reduced tread wear (DriversEd.com)
