Answer:

D) parathyroid hormone

Explanation:

Calcitonin and parathyroid hormones work against each other. Calcitonin is secreted by thyroid gland and parathyroid hormone is secreted by parathyroid gland. They both regulate serum calcium levels by affecting kidney, bone and intestine.

Calcitonin decreases calcium level when it has crossed its normal level. It is produced by parafollicular cells of the thyroid gland. Parathyroid hormone increases calcium level. It increases blood calcium level by simulating osteoclasts which release calcium from bone.

The hormone calcitonin, which is produced by the parafollicular or C cells of the thyroid, has the opposite effect on blood calcium levels as does PTH. I hope this helps! : )

the increase of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has had an effect on the earths climate. What is that effect?
Phoenix [80]
The increase of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere creates a greenhouse effect.

To explain this usually some sunlight is reflected back into space while some is absorbed by the earth keeping the planet warm. However the increase in greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide prevent the light from reflecting back into space and this light becomes trapped causing the earth to heat more then it should. You can almost think of the trapped heat from the greenhouse gases as a blanket around the earth trapping the heat in.

What evidence shows that white dwarfs must be very small?
Drupady [299]

Spectral analysis proposes that there is no hydrogen fusion roughly speaking. They are hot since they are very thick. So if you are a convinced high density and temperature and still not doing synthesis, you must be small. Also, stellar evolution models are founded on the observation of planetary nebulae, where stars have shed most of their mass after being red giants. The physics designates a small, hot, central remainder.
