Is insulin on negative feedback?
Yes Insulin is a hormone produced by the beta cells in the pancreatic islets of Langerhans that stimulates glycolysis and increase glucose uptake in muscle and adipose tissue; therefore, it maintain homeostasis in the body by decreasing blood sugar level when it is high. It shows a negative feedback because the response negates the stimulus to maintain homeostasis.
Is insulin negative feedback or positive feedback?
Insulin is a hormone produced by the beta cells in the pancreatic islets of Langerhans that stimulates glycolysis and increase glucose uptake in muscle and adipose tissue; therefore, it maintain homeostasis in the body by decreasing blood sugar level when it is high. It shows a negative feedback because the response negates the stimulus to maintain homeostasis.
What is the biological importance of waters high specific heat?
The high heat capacity of water allows homeostasis to be more effective in our bodies.
What is the relationship between homeostasis and diffusion?
Homeostasis is the ability of a system to keep the internal at a constant state. Diffusion is the movement of particles from areas of high concentration to lower concentration. (in Biology its often particles through a cell membrane) Diffusion is a method that helps keep homeostasis, especially within the human body. hope this helps! =)
The cooling effect of perspiration as it evaporates from the skin is the result of high of water?
Enthalpy of vaporization
Why does sweat cool off the body?
Water has a high heat of vaporization
How does the high heat of vaporization facilitate life?
The high heat of vaporization, the implication being of water, facilitates life by allowing for efficient heat transfer from an organism to the environment during overheating. This is the case for sweat in terrestrial animals, which evaporates from the skin of a warm animal. The high heat of vaporization forces the outermost layers of the epidermis to lose the equivalent amount of thermal energy, cooling the skin.
Does water have a low vapor pressure?
High heat of vaporization. It requires a great deal of energy to break the H bonds in water.
Do sea cucumbers maintain homeostasis?
no they contain very high toxic acid
Why does water have a relatively high boiling point and heat vaporization?
Because of strong hydrogen bonding.
Desert rabbits are adapted to the warm climate because their large ears aid in the removal of heat by?
high heat of vaporization of water.
Which property of water is demonstrated when we sweat?
if what i think your trying to ask its called condincation
Why does the temperature stops rising during melting and boiling point?
Because the latent heat of fusion and latent heat of vaporization are very high
Desert rabbits are adapted to the warm climate because their large ears aid in the removal of heat due to the?
high heat vaporization of water
Liquid ammonia is used as a refrigerant because of its?
...because of its low cost, low boiling point, relatively high heat of vaporization and heat capacity.
Why do humans perspire in high temperature?
since our bodies have a mechanism for losing heat when temperature of body rises . when sweat comes out the ,water vaporizes utilizing latent heat of vaporization from our body this heat gets deducted from our body's temperature. hence to keep our inside cool and maintain a temperature of 36 degree celsius we have to perspire
Silicon has a relatively large latent heat of vaporization of 12800 Jg. This indicates that silicon has?
The boiling point has a high value.
