Human growth hormone (GH) is a substance that controls your body's growth. GH is made by the pituitary gland, located at the base of the brain. GH helps children grow taller (also called linear growth), increases muscle mass, and decreases body fat.

Minchanka [31]

Answer:

If the person has another meal after 5 pm, the glucose level in the blood will increase, and the insulin level too.

Several hours after the meal, the glucose levels will decrease, and the glucagon levels will increase.

Explanation:

When a person ingests another meal after 5 p.m, the glucose levels in the blood will increase, as the body does not need all that glucose right now the insulin levels in the blood will increase to store glucose for later. The glucagon levels after a meal are very low because the aim is to store glucose not use it.

Several hours after the meal, the body needs the energy to keep operating so it will use the glucose that was stored, to do this, the levels of glucagon in blood have to increase and release the glucose, and the levels of insulin in blood have to decrease.

Goshia [24]

Answer:

The correct answer is c. water to move out of the strawberry, making it smaller

Explanation:

Osmosis is the process refers to the movement of liquid molecule from the area of high solute concentration to an area of low solute concentration through a semipermeable membrane to equalize the osmotic balance.

Osmosis is important for any cell to maintain a proper osmotic balance of the cell. So if sugar is sprinkled on a strawberry the solute concentration outside the strawberry cells will increase which will result in water release from the cell.

This release of water from the cell will shrink the strawberry and make it small.  Therefore the correct answer is c.
