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.
D. Gather Sensory Information
Answer:
Hydro is the most renewable power resource with global hydroelectric installed capacity exceeding 1,295GW accounting 18% of the world's total installed power generation capacity and more than 54% global power generation capacity
I think the correct answers from the choices listed above are options D and E. You should not use context clues when you feel unsure of your guess and the surrounding words are also unfamiliar. Hope this answers the question.
Answer:
Plants use cellular respiration to harvest the energy stored in the molecules
Explanation:
Plants, just like any other living organisms, need energy to power their cellular processes. Therefore plants also perform cellular respiration by burning energy molecules like glucose. The difference with plants, unlike animals, is that they make their own glucose from abiotic factors like sunlight and carbon dioxide. They do this through the process of photosynthesis. Animals have to consume ready-made glucose that emanated (directly or indirectly)from plants.
