Answer:

Option C, It regulates calcium in the blood

Explanation:

Thyroid releases hormone known as calcitonin which is responsible for  regulating calcium  through involvement in calcium metabolism.  The parafollicular cells (also known as C- cells) of the thyroid gland produces calcitonin hormone which regulate the level of both calcium and phosphate with in the blood.  

Calcitonin  increase the level of calcium in blood by opposing  the effect of parathyroid hormone  (PTH)

Hence, option C is the correct answer

Tomtit [17]

Answer:

TT

All tall

Explanation:

If an organism is purebred, that means it is homozygous. That means, it contains two copies of the same allele (trait) at this particular gene. Lets denote the tall allele as T. That means the plant is TT, and purebred tall.

No matter what genotype (i.e. what 2 alleles) another plant has, the offspring will always be tall. That is because it will always inherit one T from the TT parent. Even if we cross it to a tt plant, all the offspring would be Tt. They would be heterozygous, but they would be tall.

What are molecules and how are they used in running? Evidence
Karolina [17]

Answer:

Osmosis helps cells maintain homeostasis because a cell needs to maintain a specific water balance so that chemical reactions can take place. Osmosis can also be used to balance out the concentration of other molecules (such as sugar or salt) present on either side of a cell membrane.

Explanation:

Homeostasis is the ability of a system to regulate its internal environment through maintaining a stable, relatively constant set of properties such as temperature and PH. Key Terms homeostasis : The ability of a system or living organism to adjust its internal environment to maintain a stable equilibrium, such as the ability of warm-blooded.

soldier1979 [14.2K]

The cells have nuclei that vary in size and shape, termed pleomorphism.

Pleomorphism is usually defined in biology as the occurrence of multiple structural forms during the life cycle of an organism. In anaplasia, it represents multiple structural forms of nuclei. Pleomorphism is a characteristic feature found in malignant neoplasms, and dysplasia, but it can also be found in certain benign cell types.
