2 answers:

8 0

Answer: The contractile vacuole found in the single cell organism helps in the movement of water from inside to outside of the cell.

In case of single celled organism, the process of homeostasis is performed by the help of vacuoles.

When there is an excess of water inside the cell and there is an imbalance in the solute concentrations inside the cell.

In this case, vacuoles helps in pumping the water out of the cell. This is how homeostasis is maintained inside the cell.

What element is necessary for the production of thyroid hormone?

liubo4ka [24]

Answer:

Iodine

Explanation:

This is a trace element needed for the synthesis of the two thyroid hormone ; T4- thyroxine and T3-triiodothyronine. Four iodine molecules are added in T4 synthesis, and three for T3 synthesis. Generally T4 is the major hormone produced, but biologically transformed into active form T3.

Iodine majorly and selenium are the two trace elements needed for thyroid hormones synthesis. Therefore required amount of iodine is important in daily diet. iIn adequate supply of this leads to under production of iodine called hypothyroidism. poor brain development ( especially in kids),and goiter.

Sea foods . eggs, poultry seaweeds are rich sources of iodine.

Conversely, when excessive amount is present in the blood, autoimmune thyroid diseases can occur,including cancer developments in the thyroid gland due to hyper cell activities.

C, H, O - elements that are common to biomolecules. If the biomolecule in question is a protein these elements also combine with

vivado [14]

Explanation:

In nature, organic compounds may be large chains of monomers form biological macromolecules which carry out many essential functions in the body. These can include nucleic acids, carbohydrates, proteins and lipids. These are organic molecules, meaning they're ringed or long-chain Carbons bonded to the elements oxygen (O), hydrogen (H), nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P); they are found in essential organic biomolecules include, proteins, nucleic acids, lipids and carbohydrates.

Proteins are structural support molecules comprised of long chains of monomers called amino acids, joined via peptide (CONH) bonds; these are 20 specific units that are arranged into several macromolecules. Amino acids are absorbed through digestion and are incorporated into the body’s cells to make up organs muscles signal molecules and an alternative energy source. Basic makeup: C, H, O, N, S; polar C, O double bonds and N-H bonding .
