When glucose is being used up and not replaced from food intake, the blood sugar level can be maintained by synthesizing it from smaller molecules such as pyruvate or lactate. this process is called gluconeogenesis. which organ is principally responsible for supplying glucose to the rest of the body when glucose reserves are low?

Subduction zones form when an oceanic plate collides with another oceanic plate or continental plate. the continental crust is lighter and less dense than oceanic crust. continental crust's density is approximately 2.7 grams per cubic centimeter. oceanic crust is thinner and the average density is about 3.3 cubic centimeters. when the two crustal plates converge the oceanic plate always bends and subducts beneath a continental plate. once the oceanic crust subjects, the rocks are subjected to changes in heat and pressure. because of this, we would expect to find rocks in the area of a subduction. a) clastic b) igneous c) metamorphic d) sedimentary
