If you are not getting adequate calcium in your diet, calcitonin will be secreted, which stimulates osteoclasts to resorb bone a
MissTica
The statement above is false. The blood levels of calcium is regulated by parathyroid hormone.When one is not getting adequate calcium in one's diet and the blood level of calcium is low, the parathyroid hormone will be released. The parathyroid hormone can increase the blood calcium in several ways:
1. by stimulating osteoclasts which break down bone and release calcium into the blood stream.
2. by increasing the amount of calcium re-absorbed by the kidney before it can be excreted in urine.
3. by triggering the formation of calcitriol which increases the absorption of dietary calcium at the  intestines.

The relationship between the bacterium Xenorhabdus nematophila and its nematode host, Steinernema carpocapsae, is classified as
Cloud [144]

Answer:

The correct answer will be-cooperate

Explanation:

Nematodes or ringworms interact with the bacteria in one of three ways: mutualism, parasitism and symbiosis.

The interaction between nematode <em>Steinernema carpocapsae</em> and bacteria  <em>Xenorhabdus nematophila</em> prove to be a symbiotic relationship as both the organisms benefit each other.

The interaction between these two organisms is also known as cooperation because both the species can live without each other also. It is during the infective juvenile stage, the bacteria start living in the intestine of the nematode and benefiting the nematode. Both bacteria and nematode help each other killing the host and then utilizing the cadaver of the host.

Thus, cooperate is the correct answer.

During aerobic respiration, the energy within the bonds of a glucose molecule is released in small amounts in a step-by-step, en
Rus_ich [418]

Answer: In this process, the energy released in form of ATP (Adenosine triphosphate) is used to POWER BIOCHEMICAL PROCESSES.

Explanation:

Aerobic respiration is the process by which living organisms breaks down glucose molecule to release energy. Oxygen is used for this process that's why the name aerobic.

Aerobic respiration releases energy within the bonds of glucose step by step in an enzyme controlled reaction. The stages of these processes includes:

--> Glycolysis: In this stage, glucose molecules are split to produce two molecules of ATP and two molecules of NADH (another energy carrying molecule).

--> Krebs Cycle: this is the second stage which occurs in the mitochondria of cells. The 2 ATP molecules generated from glycolysis is used to produce two more ATP, 8 more NADH and 2 molecules of FADH. This makes it a total of 16 energy molecules ( including 2 molecules of ATP from glycolysis).

--> Electron transport chain: this is the last stage of aerobic respiration which takes part at the inner member of the mitochondria. Electrons are transported from molecule to molecule down an electron-transport chain. Some of the energy from the electrons ( NADH and FADH from kreb cycle) is used to pump hydrogen ions across the membrane, creating an electrochemical gradient that drives the synthesis of many more molecules of ATP. As a result 32 more ATP are generated.

In conclusion, a total of up to 36 molecules of ATP from just one molecule of glucose in the process of aerobic respiration which are used to power biological processes.
