lana [2.4K]9 days ago

The correct response is option E. C4 plants engage in the Hatch-Slack pathway or C4 carbon fixation during photosynthesis, converting CO2 into 4 carbon sugars for the Calvin cycle. These plants thrive in arid and hot environments like deserts due to their ability to fix carbon even with low CO2 concentrations, allowing for greater energy production when stomata are closed. Examples include corn, pineapple, and sugarcane. Hence, option E is the accurate answer.

s2008m [2378]

Respuesta:

El orden correcto es:

  1. Gran cantidad de glucosa en la sangre, enviando señales hacia el páncreas.  
  2. Síntesis de hormonas por células beta.
  3. Unión de hormonas con receptores en el hígado.
  4. Ingesta de moléculas de glucosa de la sangre por transportadores específicos.
  5. Liberación de hormonas desde los receptores

Explicación:

  • El páncreas produce dos hormonas clave para la regulación de los niveles de glucosa en la sangre.
  • Las dos hormonas, glucagón e insulina, aumentan y disminuyen el azúcar en la sangre respectivamente.
  • La insulina reduce la glucosa en sangre al estimular las células del cuerpo para que aumenten la ingesta de glucosa.
  • El cerebro detecta la alta/baja glucosa en sangre y, a continuación, envía señales al páncreas para iniciar la síntesis de insulina o glucagón por las células beta.
  • Estas hormonas se unen a receptores en las células del cuerpo; en las células hepáticas, en el caso de la insulina.
  • Los receptores inician la señalización celular que facilita la entrada o salida de glucosa dentro o fuera de las células del cuerpo.
