Calvin ate a candy bar, which caused his body's blood glucose levels to become unbalanced. his body responded by initiating a feedback mechanism to return his body to homeostasis. place the steps of this feedback mechanism in order, starting with the blood glucose imbalance that occurred after calvin consumed the candy bar. a) calvin's blood glucose levels decreased. b) calvin's pancreas stopped secreting insulin. c) calvin's body cells started to take up glucose and store it as glycogen. d) calvin's blood glucose levels increased. e) calvin's pancreas started secreting insulin.

The diagram below represents a marine food web and a process that can harm the human population. each circle represents an organism and the smaller dots inside them represent a toxic substance. what is being represented and how does it harm the population? the diagram represents biological half-life, in which toxins build up in organisms higher up on the food chain, and this can negatively impact humans who consume the organisms and the toxic substance. the diagram represents biomagnification, in which toxins build up in organisms higher up on the food chain, and this can negatively impact humans who consume the organisms and the toxic substance. the diagram represents the process by which different organisms prey upon each other; this can impact the human population by reducing the number of organisms that do not contain the toxin. the diagram represents the way that toxins are metabolized by living organisms, with those at greater trophic levels able to metabolize more efficiently than those at lower levels. this means that those at higher tropic levels are safer for humans to consume compared to the organisms at lower trophic levels.

Epinephrine is a hormone released from the adrenal gland of the body, most often in a stressful situation. it is known as the "fight-or-flight" hormone. one way that it causes a response in the body is to activate receptors on muscle cells. where are these cellular receptors located? a. on the cell membrane b. in the nucleus c. on the cell wall d. around the mitochondria
