One of the major functions of the human pancreas is to release hormones in order to quickly and precisely control levels of glucose in the blood. the diagram shows the structure of a pancreatic islet. pancreatic islets are made up of tightly packed beta cells, which are responsible for the production of the hormone insulin, as well as blood vessels that run throughout the structure. insulin is one of the primary hormones involved in glucose regulation. based on this information, which statement best describes how the structure of a pancreatic islet the body regulate blood glucose levels?
a. the structure of a pancreatic islet allows the islet to act as a vesicle where excess hormones can be stored.
b. the structure of a pancreatic islet enables hormones to be released directly into the bloodstream.

The human genome project is devoted to mapping the general dna sequence of our species. this could lead to the development of new medicines, as well as the possibility of using gene therapy to treat certain diseases. however, there are some ethical issues surrounding the mapping of individual genomes. one concern is a) that your genes may change over time, making the project useless. b) that insurance companies could discriminate based on genetic make-up. c) that since this has never been done before, we should probably not do it now. d) that sequencing our individual genomes is so expensive, it is a counter-productive strategy.
