Answer:

False

Explanation:

The thyroid gland secrete two thyroid hormones called thyroxine and triiodothyronine. Thyroxine is the in active form which is later converted to the active form triiodothyronine by kidneys and livers. The two hormones function by increasing the metabolic activities of tissues. They increase the body heat production which in turn increase oxygen consumption and ATP hydrolysis because they burn body fat thereby increasing energy production and increasing basal metabolic rate. They regulate body temperature.

What is the function of lipoprotein lipase?
scZoUnD [109]

Answer:

Hydrolysis of triglycerides in lipoproteins

Explanation:

Lipoprotein lipase is a water-soluble enzyme which includes pancreatic lipase, hepatic lipase, and endothelial lipase.  

Enzymes involved in triacylglycerol digestion are lipases and they catalyze the partial hydrolysis of triglycerides into a mixture of free fatty acids and acylglycerols. After digestion of lipids, monoglycerides and fatty acids associate with bile salts and phopholipids to form micelles. Micelles are structures that are necessary for the transport the poorly soluble monoglycerides and fatty acids to the surface of the enterocyte. But, micelles cannot be absorbed by epithelial cell, only freely dissolved monoglycerides and fatty acids can.

Angiosperms are vascular plants bearing the seeds in fruits or mature ovaries whilst gymnosperms are other types of the plant which bears the seeds directly on the sporophylls but without any cover.

Explanation:

Examples of gymnosperms include cypress,pine, redwood, spruce and ginkgo.

Examples of angiosperms include apple, banana,peach, cherry and orange.

Also, angiosperms are seeds producing flowering plants whose seeds are enclosed within an ovary.

Gymnosperms are also seeds producing non flowering plants whose seeds are unenclosed.

Na + Cl2 --> NaCl if you were given 15 grams of sodium (with excess chlorine) and asked to determine the amount of NaCl that
Elena-2011 [213]

Answer:

The correct answer is - 38.15 gm of NaCl.

Explanation:

Write the balanced equation for this reaction of sodium (Na) and chlorine (Cl₂) to produce sodium chloride (NaCl):

2Na + Cl₂ —> 2NaCl

the mass of Na and the mass of NaCl :

Molar mass of Na = 23 g/mol

In the balanced equation = 2 × 23 = 46 g

Molar mass of NaCl = 23 + 35.5

= 58.5 g/mol

similarly in balanced equation = 2 × 58.5 = 117 g

From the balanced equation above,

46 g of Na reacted to produce 117 g of NaCl.

By converting it to 15 grams of Na.

Therefore,15 g of Na will react to produce = (15 × 117)/46 = 38.15 g of NaCl.

Thus, 38.15 g of Na
