You have just become the nurse manager of a nursing home and you are reminding yourself about what problems your nursing home population might have by studying your old pathophysiology books from nursing school. many of the residents are tired and have problems with blood glucose levels. which hormones might be related?

epinephrine, cortisol, amylin, GIP, glucagon, insulin

Explanation:

There are two basically two hormones that are related with the level of glucose as they are released only when the level of glucose is either high or low. They are insulin and glucagon

However, certain hormones such as epinephrine, cortisol, amylin, GIP, glucagon and also the growth hormones that also effect the blood glucose/sugar  level.

Since many of the residents are suffering from issues associated with blood glucose levels, the above specified hormones are mainly responsible for such variation.

step 1: nitrogen fixation- conversion of atmospheric no₂ into forms useful to plants by lightning, bacteria, and cyanobacteria.

step 2: nitrification-process of converting ammonia to nitrite or nitrate.

step 3: assimilation-plant roots absorb new form of nitrogen.

step 4: ammonification-conversion of organic nitrogen to ammonia by bacteria involved in decomposition.

step 5: denitrification-bacteria turns the decomposed matter back into n₂o, which is released into atmosphere; repeat cycle.
