Calcium

Explanation:

Parathyroid hormone (PTH) is a hormone that is secreted by the parathyroid gland. It is the major regulator of the plasma concentration of calcium ions. It regulates calcium ions in the kidney, intestine and bones.

In the kidney, is involved in the re-absorption of calcium in distal ducts and the renal collecting duct, it is also involved in activating the conversion of 25-hydroxy vitamin D into 1,25-dihydroxy vitamin D (calcitriol).

In the intestine,  PTH is involved in the absorption of calcium, by increasing vitamin D production.

In the bone, it helps in regulating calcium levels; when serum calcium level is low, PTH stimulates the activity of the osteoclast, to produce more calcium.

I'm having trouble answering a question on my biology homework. Explain why the following structural formula is not correct base
Ratling [72]
I'd say that it is incorrect because each carbon atom should bond 4 times and all three carbon atoms in this structural formula only bond once. The reverse is true for hydrogen atoms. They only form one bond but in this structural formula two of them have four bonds. I don't know about nitrogen though.
