Using the graph provided with the question, we are able to find that that for a concentration of 270 micromol per kilogram, the calcification rate is 20 mmol calcium carbonate per meter squared per day.

Using this calcification rate,
30 = 20 * 1 * days

days = 1.5

The deposition will require 1.5 days.

Neurons in the hypothalamus regulate the activity of secretory cells in the anterior pituitary gland by:________
Jet001 [13]

Hypothalamus connect the nervous and endocrine systems by way of the pituitary gland. Both are connected directly to the pituitary gland by a thin stalk which is called infundibulum.

Its main function is to secrete releasing hormones and inhibiting hormones that stimulate  the production of hormones in the anterior pituitary. FSH and LH both are produce and secret gonadotropins which regulated by the hypothalami releasing hormone, GnRH.  These are the releasing hormones which control the release of another hormone.
