One role of the pancreas is to regulate blood glucose levels. two types of cells in the pancreas, beta and alpha, serve as sensors to detect changes in blood glucose levels. high glucose levels cause beta cells to increase the amount of insulin given off by the pancreas. the insulin triggers body cells to take in glucose and the liver to store excess glucose as glycogen, decreasing the blood glucose level. on the other hand, low glucose blood levels trigger alpha cells to signal for glycogen to free up stored glucose from your liver, thus increasing the blood glucose level. what type of feedback mechanism is this, positive or negative? explain your answer based on the description of the mechanism.

2. in dragons, a gene on chromosome 1 codes for wing color and a gene on chromosome 2 codes for body color. draw out the stages of meiosis for these two chromosomes from a dragon that is heterozygous for both traits. define your alleles. what are all the possible allele combinations of the gametes produced?

Which statement about relative potential energy of electrons is correct? a. an electron in the 2 p orbital of the second electron shell has more potential energy than an electron in the 2 s orbital of the second electron shell. b. an electron in the 2 p orbital of the second electron shell has more potential energy than an electron in the 3 p orbital of the third electron shell. c. an electron in the 3 p orbital of the third electron shell has more potential energy than an electron in the 2 p orbital of the second electron shell.

Astudent from one of the research labs is having trouble preparing a slide for examination and photographing. the bacterial slide that he has brought to you was prepared using a commercially purchased stain. he has asked for your in determining what he is doing wrong so that he can change the lab protocols and continue on with his project. after examining the slide under oil immersion, you determine that no bacteria are present even though the student is able to show you the culture he used to make that slide that has visible growth in the liquid medium. which of the following statements does not explain the fact that there are no bacteria present on the student’s slide? by not allowing a glass slide to completely air dry before heat fixation, the flame will cause the surrounding water to boil and this will damage the bacterial cell. overheating during the fixation step boiled the water within the bacterial cells and resulted in the cells bursting. insufficient heating of the slide did not drive out the thin layer of water and this resulted in minimal bonding between the bacteria and the glass slide. rinsing with alcohol during the washing step stripped the bacteria off the glass slide. rinsing with alcohol during the washing step stripped the bacteria off the glass slide.
