Question
a newly formed fertilized egg is considered to be *
multipoten
totipotent
mostimpotent
pluripotent
when blood sugar level drops, the pancreas secretes
insulin
enzymes
glucagon
oligosaccharides
Brief Explanations
- First question: A newly - formed fertilized egg (zygote) has the ability to develop into an entire organism. Totipotent cells can give rise to all cell types in the body, including extra - embryonic tissues. Multipotent cells can only differentiate into a limited number of cell types (e.g., hematopoietic stem cells). Pluripotent cells can differentiate into almost all cell types in the body but not extra - embryonic tissues. "Mostimpotent" is not a valid term in cell potency.
- Second question: When blood sugar drops, the pancreas secretes glucagon. Glucagon acts on the liver to promote glycogenolysis (breakdown of glycogen to glucose) and gluconeogenesis (synthesis of glucose from non - carbohydrate sources). Insulin is secreted when blood sugar is high to lower blood sugar levels. Enzymes are secreted by the pancreas for digestion (e.g., pancreatic amylase, lipase, protease), but not in response to blood sugar changes. Oligosaccharides are a type of carbohydrate, not a hormone secreted by the pancreas in response to blood sugar.
