One of the hormones not mentioned in the text is GIP (glucose-dependent insulin trophic peptide), which stimulates the secretion of insulin. It is secreted by cells of the duodenum in response to the presence of glucose. Its secretion and action on insulin production is an example of a:
a) homeostatic positive feedback mechanism amplifying the response to glucose ingestion.
b) homeostatic negative feedback mechanism, keeping a system near a set point.
c) homeostatic negative feedback mechanism changing the set point.
d) This response is not homeostatic.

B. homeostatic negative feedback mechanism, keeping a system near a set point.

Explanation:

that would be called plucking : )

explanation:

''plucking, also referred to as quarrying, is a glacial phenomenon that is responsible for the erosion and transportation of individual pieces of bedrock, especially large "joint blocks". as a glacier moves down a valley, friction causes the basal ice of the glacier to melt and infiltrate joints (cracks) in the bedrock."

the correct answer is 4) heat and pressure

metamorphic rocks arise from transformation of existing rocks types, in a process called metamorphism. during metamorphism the original rock(prolith) change into metamorphic rock by heating (150-200c) and pressure of more than 1000 bar. the original rock can be sedimentary, igneous, or existing metamorphic rock.
