Question: Which pituitary hormone causes liver cells to release somatomedins that increase the rate of uptake of amino acids by cells such as skeletal muscle fibers?
follicle-stimulating hormone
prolactin
thyroid-stimulating hormone
growth hormone
Answer:
growth hormone
Explanation:
Somatomedins are growth factors. The growth hormone makes the cells such as liver cells, skeletal muscles, bones, etc. to secrete the somatomedins. The somatomedins from the liver enter the bloodstream to reach the target cells. The somatomedins make the skeletal muscles, bones, etc. to absorb amino acids into the cells so as to facilitate protein synthesis. This growth factor also downregulates the breakdown of proteins. This is how growth hormone triggers the growth of muscles and soft tissues.
The answer is D. in animal cells, the cell membrane allows materials in and out of the cell, while the mitochondria uses nutrients to make energy (ATP) for the cell.
The total volume of the gas-exchanging region in the lung is called alveolar volume.
The alveolus is an air sack-like organ in the end of the respiratory airway. The alveolus is the site where gas-exchanging happens, so only air inside alveolus that will undergo actual exchange. Air in bronchus or trachea wouldn't do exchange
Answer: N. pubens has found a place within the existing food web in its new environment.
Explanation:
The statement that best explains the impact that N. pubens has on its environment is that "N. pubens has found a place within the existing food web in its new environment".
From the information given, it's stated that the Rasberry crazy ant (Nylanderia pubens) was accidentally introduced in Texas and it attacks livestock, displace existing species, and damage electrical equipment.
It's further stated that it consumes "honeydew," a sugary liquid substance secreted as a waste product by aphids, which suck the sap out of plants.
This shows that it has found a place within the existing food web in its new environment.
