Insulin is a hormone released by the pancreas in response to increased blood glucose levels. Insulin lowers blood glucose levels by causing the facilitated diffusion of glucose into the cells. If there is a deficiency of insulin, what would be the result for the cell?

Which of the following does not represent kinetic energy?

  Given a triangle, write Java code to calculate the area of this triangle. The dimensions of the shapes are as follows: •    Triangle:  Base: 6 units, Height: 4 unitsNote: Area = 1/2 × b × h Questions:     1.    Calculate the total area of the triangle.    2.    write a complete program, including the main method. Additional Requirement     •    The system output should display the total area with two decimal places.    •    The output should be formatted as follows: The total area is equal to 34.50 Note: This is an example output and does not reflect the actual values of the problem.  

Which of these crosses will produce only heterozygous offspring?

Hypophosphatemia (vitamin D—resistant rickets) is inherited as a sex-linked dominant trait. The relevant gene is found on the X chromosome. What is the expected outcome of a cross between a homozygous recessive woman and a man with hypophosphatemia?

Experience with dog breeding has taught geneticists ________.

Read the following scenario to answer the following questions.The earliest cells detectable in fossils were different from the cells in animals, plants, fungi, and protists living today. These first prokaryotic cells gave rise to eukaryotic cells approximately 1.7 billion years ago. The structure of eukaryotic cells today suggests how they might have evolved from their prokaryotic ancestors. Scientists examining mitochondria and chloroplasts now think that these organelles were probably free-living prokaryotes before becoming a part of eukaryotic cells long ago.What evidence suggests that mitochondria might have evolved before chloroplasts?
