And for a couple more marks, I'll accept extensions this answer... Do they detect the serum glycaemic level and stimulate or Downregulate insulin production accordingly? " Kinda..... The Islets are groups of different types of pancreatic cell, which secrete various hormones. Among them are alpha cells (secrete glucagon), beta cells (secrete insulin), plus other cells that secrete things like ghrelin and stomatostatin. Insulin reduces blood sugar levels by converting glucose to glycogen. Glucagon releases the glucose stored in glycogen. | |||

"The sun Echidna Can’t think of any good ones Actually let’s go with mercury, since I don’t think the sun counts as a planet " Venus comes in hotter than Mercury, because of its run-away greenhouse effect atmosphere making it bloody hot all over. Mercury is hot on the side where it's daytime, but the nighttime side is colder than a witches tit (any Wiccans on fab, no offense is meant, please insert coldness simile of own choice here). The Mercury day length is nearly six earth months so it gets plenty of time for the sunny side to get hot, but also plenty of time for the dark side to get very cold again. At one time it was thought that Mercury always had the same side facing the sun (like our moon has the same side always facing the earth) but it does in fact have a slow rotation. One very bizarre thing about the Mercury day length though is that it is longer than the Mercury year (the time it takes for Mercury to go around the sun) - in fact the Mercury day is equal in length to two Mercury years... Venus though shows how the earth might well end up if we don't stop fucking up the climate. Once past a particular temperature point, enough of the oceans evaporate for the water vapour to increase the greenhouse effect, causing the temperature to rise more and even more of the oceans to evaporate, causing it to get even warmer. Once this happens there is no way back, short of massive cooling of the sun. Of course we're all dead if that happens, so nobody would be around to worry about it... | |||

"Explain how the Richter scale works. We're sure the earth will move for you "It's a logarithmic scale, where a value increase of 1 corresponds to a factor of ten more shaking. (I think it's a ten base logarithm, rather than e based or 2 based). Hence a Richter 3 quake can only be noticed by measurement instruments, a Richter 4 gives a little jiggle than you can feel, at 5 all the ornaments will fall off your mantelpiece and car alarms will all be honking, at 6 buildings fall down... | |||

So if you start at the left (a penny), then move to position two (10p), you will have moved one space but have moved to something that's 10 times more valuable/powerful.

You’re thinking of a monotreme (“one hole” in ancient Greek). A trireme is an early type of ship. (Latin this time, referring to the three banks of rowers). Much like the echidna was made famous by the video game Sonic, triremes will be familiar to lovers of Sid Meyer’s Civilisation games. | |||
