What else can I help you with?
Homeostasis is necessary at the level of a single cell?
Yes. Homeostasis keeps every thing in balance: you blood glucose level, your blood pressure, your body body temperature and more.
Is a reading of 137 of concern for blood glucose?
A fasting blood glucose of 137 is a concern. A random blood glucose of 137 is not a concern.
What is a glucose blood test for?
To test for the amount of sugars (glucose) in the blood.
When blood glucose levels are high and the glucose is not utilized for cellular respiration the human body will store this glucose in the liver and muscles in what form?
It is stored in the form of glycogen.
What is the maintenance of a stable environment called?
The process of maintaining a stable environment is called homeostasis. This process balances body temperature, fluid levels, metabolism, blood pressure, heart rate, and blood sugar.
What are mechanisms of homeostasis'?
The processes and activities that help to maintain homeostasis are referred to as homeostatic mechanisms. for example regulation of blood pressure, regulation of pH in the body fluids and regulation of blood glucose levels.
What is and example of homeostasis?
Regulating blood glucose concentration
What is a example of a homeostasis?
Regulation of body temperature is an example of homeostasis in the human body. When the body is too hot, it sweats to cool down. When the body is too cold, it shivers to generate heat. This process helps maintain a stable internal temperature despite external fluctuations.
The ability of the human body to regulate the level of blood glucose is an example of?
Homeostasis!
Which is a behavioral mechanism for maintainig homeostasis?
The processes and activities that help to maintain homeostasis are referred to as homeostatic mechanisms. for example regulation of blood pressure, regulation of pH in the body fluids and regulation of blood glucose levels.
What is the substance that counteracts glucagon in blood glucose regulation?
Insulin is the substance that counteracts glucagon in blood glucose regulation.
Give an example of how homeostasis is maintained?
An example of homeostasis is regulating blood glucose concentration. The body does this as follows: If there is enough glucose in the blood, the hormone insulin (from the pancreas) stimulates the liver to store the extra (not needed at the time) glucose as glycogen. If the blood sugar gets low, another hormone stimulates the liver to release the glucose back into the blood. If the storage in the liver is full, glucose is converted into fat in special cells around the body.
Homeostasis is the process by which plants use sunlight to make organic compounds from carbon dioxide and water?
Homeostasis is maintaining a constant internal environment. A good example of homeostasis is the regulation of blood glucose levels in humans. Too low and glucagon triggers the break down of glycogen raising the blood glucose levels, too high and insulin causes glucose to be removed from the blood and synthesised into glycogen. Homostasis is always about negative feedback as described in the example above. The process you have described in your question is photosynthesis and is an anabolic process and on its own is NOT a homeostasis process. The plant will make sugar compounds from carbon dioxide and use these compounds for respiration, its basically a way of harvesting and producing usable energy so not a homeostasis process.
Where is the control center for blood glucose homeostasis?
pancreas
A decrease in blood glucose that causes the inhibition of insulin is an example of?
A decrease in blood glucose that causes the inhibition of insulin secretion is an example of a negative feedback mechanism. In this case, low blood glucose levels trigger the inhibition of insulin release to prevent further lowering of blood sugar and maintain homeostasis.
What is an example how homeostasis is maintained in the body?
One example of how homeostasis is maintained in the body is through the regulation of body temperature. When the body is too hot, mechanisms such as sweating and vasodilation help to cool it down. Conversely, when the body is too cold, shivering and vasoconstriction help to raise body temperature back to a normal level.
An example of the maintenance of homeostasis in humans is the action of glucagon and insulin in regulating the?
An example of the maintenance of homeostasis in humans is the action of glucagon and insulin in regulating blood sugar levels. When blood sugar levels are high, insulin is released to help cells take up glucose for energy. Conversely, when blood sugar levels are low, glucagon is released to stimulate the liver to release stored glucose into the blood.
