it regulates blood sugar level.
Explanation:
Insulin helps control blood glucose ( sugar) levels by signaling the liver and muscle and fat cells to take in glucose ( sugar) from the blood. Insulin therefore helps cells to take in glucose (sugar) to be used for energy. If the body has sufficient energy, insulin signals the liver to take up glucose ( sugar) and store it as glycogen.
what are sex hormones?why are they named so? state their function.
Answer:
Sex hormones or hormones of the reproductive organs are certain cells in the reproductive organs that produce hormones.
The testis produces testosterone,the male sex hormone,and the ovaries produces oestrogen and progesterone, the female sex hormones.
In a sexually mature male,testosterone influences sexual behaviour, and together with FSH,regulates sperm production in the seminiferous tubules of the testes.
Sexually matured females undergo a regular 4-week reproductive or menstrual cycle during which a mature egg is released.This cycle is regulated by oestrogen and progesterone. During pregnancy, progesterone inhibits egg production (ovulation),brings about the development of the placenta and prevents the uterus from contracting....I hope this answers your question... Thank you for the question.
Tara placed a grape in a solution, after sometime she noticed that the grape started to shrink.
a. Name the solution and explain.
b. Then Tara placed the raisin in a solution and noticed it started to swell up. Name the solution and explain
Answer:
a. Hypertonic solution
b. Hypotonic solution
Explanation:
There are basically 3 types of solutions in biology,
1) Isotonic-Same concentration of solute and solvent inside the grape and in the solution.
2)Hypotonic solution-More concentration of solvent in the solution than in the grape.
3)Hypertonic solution-More concentration of solvent in the grape than in the solution.
Now,
a. Tara had kept the grape in a hypertonic solution. The solvent will start draining from the grape to equalize the concentrations of solvent inside and outside. So, the grape shrank due to loss of water.
b. Tara kept it in a hypotonic solution. The solvent will start entering the grape to equalize the concentrations of solvent. So, the grape started swelling.

1. The Hawaiian Islands are examples of islands that formed over a hotspot. Based on this information, which of the following processes formed the Hawaiian Islands? (2 points) Melted rock called magma rose through holes in Earth's crust and gradually solidified as it cooled. Tectonic movement forced certain segments of Earth's crust downward and other segments upward in jagged chunks. One tectonic plate moved beneath another plate at a subduction zone, causing the rock to melt and rise above Earth's surface. Segments of Earth's crust bent and doubled over, and moving wind and water gradually shaped the rock into gently sloping domes.
Answer:
The correct answer is - Melted rock called magma rose through holes in Earth's crust and gradually solidified as it cooled.
Explanation:
The Hawaiian Islands are the chain of eight major islands situated in U.S. of Hawaii. These are formed over a hot spot. About 75 million years ago such hotspot took place in the center of the Pacific Plate.
There are hot spot due to the volconic activity and in the moving over the tectonic plate of a subduction zone. Volcanic activity and overriding of plates that cause rising magma by melting the moving down plates whice leads to volcanic arcs formation. The magma that rose gradually cooled down and become solid over the time. It is an example of a large seamount and island chain created by hot-spot volcanism.
Thus, The correct answer is - Melted rock called magma rose through holes in Earth's crust and gradually solidified as it cooled.

Consider the following chromosomes and if they are affected by hemophilia. X - unaffected X chromosome, x = X affected by hemophilia, and Y = Y chromosome. If an Xx female and XY male have children, what fraction of their offspring will have an affected chromosome, and what fraction is likely to be affected by the hemophilia? (1 point) A. 1/4 and 1/2 B. 1/2 and 1/4 C. 1/2 and 1/3 D. 1/4 and 1/4 Ive been stuck on this for a while now, can someone please assist?
Answer:
B. 1/2 and 1/4
Explanation:
Hemophilia is a disease inherited in humans. It is only carried on the X chromosome, hence, it is said to be X-linked. In this question;
X - unaffected X chromosome
x = X chromosome affected by hemophilia,
Y = Y chromosome
Hence, in a cross between a Xx female (carrier) and a XY male (unaffected), the following chromosomes will be present in the gametes produced by each parent:
Xx- X and x gametes
XY- X and Y gametes
Using these gametes in a punnet square (see attached image), offsprings with genotypes: XX, Xx, XY and xY are produced.
XX (1) - unaffected normal female
Xx (1) - unaffected carrier female
XY (1) - unaffected normal male
xY (1) - affected male
Based on the questions;
- 2 out of the possible 4 children have the affected chromosomes i.e. both xY son and Xx daughter have the x chromosome. Hence, the fraction is 1/2
- 1 out of the 4 possible children is affected by hemophilia, which is the xY son. Hence, the fraction is 1/4.

here are times where you will be provided with BUD dates. When you do not have access to the BUD dates, you will have to determine that date yourself. What is the appropriate BUD date for a water containing oral formulation? Not later than 14 days Not later than 30 days
Answer:
Explanation: Not later than 14 days.
Beyond Use Date (BUD) is the date after which a compounded sterile preparation may not be stored or transported. This time is calculated from the date of compounding, and it is different from expiration date. This is because the BUDs are assigned with a different approach from those applied to assigning expiration dates to manufactured drug products. Also, compounded preparations are intended for administration following short-term storage. So, the BUD is the date after which a compounded preparation shall not be used. A reliable BUD is established to ensure that the preparation has an accepted quality and purity at least until the labeled BUD.
BUD is calculated by:
Type of container in which it is packagedHow long the medication will be takenType of drugHow fast is the drug degradatedStorage conditionsDosage of the medicationNature of the drug and its degradation mechanism Potential for microbial proliferation in the preparationFor Nonaqueous Formulation, the BUD is not later than 6 months or the time remaining until the earliest expiration date of any API (Active pharmaceutical ingredient), whichever is earlier.
For Water-Containing Oral Formulation, the BUD is not later than 14 days when it is stored at controlled cold temperatures.
For Dermal and Mucosal Liquid, Semisolid Formulations/Water-Containing Topical, the BUD is not later than 30 days.

a) natural selection
b) sexual selection
c) runaway selection
d) an invasive species
e) disruptive selection
Answer:
B
Explanation:
Female birds mate with the males who build the best nest is the example of option b. sexual selection.
Sexual selection is a mode of natural selection in which one sex members choose the mate with the member of the other sex for mating.
These members of the biological sex prefer opposite sex members for species-specific characteristics in individuals of the other sex such as best building nest in birds. Other male birds compete with members of the same sex to get selected by members of the female birds in this instance.Thus, the correct answer is option b. sexual selection as female birds prefers species-specific traits to select their mating partner by best nest building by males.

Consider a system in which low levels of protein "Q" triggers production of hormone A. The reaction of target cells of hormone A is to produce and release hormone B, which stimulates production of hormone C. In response to hormone C, the target cells up-regulate protein Q. In this scenario we see an example of _____.
Answer:
Negative feedback
Explanation:
Negative feedback is produced when a mechanism is amplified through an inverse loop, which tends to reduce the fluctuations in the system. In this case, the negative feedback mechanism represents a homeostatic response of the body where the release of a target hormone (hormone C) decreases in response to the increase of a protein (protein Q) upstream in the signaling pathway. Therefore, in this scenario, it is expected that negative feedback causes a decrease in hormone function.
