What hormone is responsible for stimulating the breakdown of liver glycogen and its release as glucose?

Biology

Lostsunrise [7]2 years ago

The hormones that stimulate the breakdown of liver glycogen are epinephrine and glucagon. Epinephrine is the one that triggers the glycogen breakdown inside the muscle and also inside the liver. However, the liver is the one that is more active or responsive to the hormone called glucagon than the muscles. A glucagon is a hormone which is a polypeptide hidden by the cells of our pancreas called α cells whenever our blood-sugar is low. This hormone indicates the state of starving.

Why might a lysosome fuse with or link up with a food vacuole
Tomtit [17]
Vacuoles store things, so it would make sense that food vacuoles store food. Lysosomes digest things into smaller usable materials (or destroy them) so lysosomes will attach to food vacuoles so they can efficiently digest food. The vacuole to store the food waiting to be digested by the lysosome. Hope this helped :)

You are in your room listening to music and, realize you are thirsty, you can feel that your soda is no longer cold, and you dec
-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

Internal region of the brain and the hypothalamus are related to the sensation of thirst.

Thalamus is involved with the perception that the soda is not colder.

Explanation:

The central nervous system is the body system responsible for making your body receive information and respond appropriately, promoting full bodily functioning. It is formed by the brain, spinal cord and the components that form them.

Regarding the activities shown in the question above, we can say that some components of the brain are related. For example: The innermost part of the brain and the hypothalamus are related to feeling thirsty. This is because the inner part of the brain is responsible for making the brain understand how the organism is functioning, if something is missing or if there is any discomfort that needs to be resolved. The hypothalamus, in turn, is responsible for the release of hormones that signal that your body's homeostasis is unbalanced. With the interaction of these two structures you realize that you are thirsty.

In addition, the thalamus is responsible for allowing your body to receive sensory messages. It is this structure that allows you to realize that your soda is not cold when you touch the glass, or take a sip of it.

In a phospholipid bilayer, the __________.a. phosphate groups are hydrophobic. b. fatty acid tails are ionized. c. fatty acid ta
den301095 [7]

Answer:

Option-E

Explanation:

The phospholipid bilayer is the layer which forms the outer membrane of the cell.

The phospholipid layer is amphipathic as it contains both the hydrophilic and hydrophobic portions.

The phospholipid is composed of the glycerol attached to phosphate groups which form head or hydrophilic region and the 3 fatty acid tails which form the hydrophobic portion.

The head or hydrophilic portion is arranged in the layer facing the outer external portions and the inside of the cytoplasm as the lipid layer exist in the bilayer.

Thus, Option-E is correct.

Determination of Caloric Content of Three Foods1. Compare the calorimeter that you built to a bomb calorimeter. How are they sim
yulyashka [42]

Answer:

The answers to both parts (1 and 2) are given below.

Explanation:

1. The calorimeter is similar to the bomb calorimeter in a way that both measure the changes in heat that occur as result of the chemical reaction taking place inside them. They are different in the sense that a bomb calorimeter provides an isolated system with constant volume and pressure, whereas a regular calorimeter allows pressure to equalize with the environment.

2. Carbohydrates are the molecules that break down and provides energy for cellular functions. Whereas, proteins are not meant for the production of energy but for the production of amino acids to function as structural units for protein synthesis. Simply, the breakdown of protein is for the synthesis of more proteins by providing several units of amino acids rather than the production of energy.
