Answer:

b) Tendon

Explanation:

Tendons are fibrous, thick, stiff and flexible structures, with a whitish color, present in different parts of the human body.

They are part of the striated muscle being made up of connective tissue (composed of collagen).

The main function of the tendons is to connect the muscles to the bones. In this way, it helps in the balance of the body and in the development of movements, distributing the forces in the muscles.

As it pulls the connecting bone with the muscle, the tendon creates the movement in order to transmit the force of the contraction to the bone.

In addition, the tendon provides stability to the joints (meeting point between two bones) of the body's joints.

The net primary production of a pine forest on a lava flow on Mount Fuji is about 165,000 kcal/m2/yr, and the plant respiration
IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

<em>The total amount of energy transferred during photosynthesis for this ecosystem equals</em><em> 260,000 kcal/m2/yr.</em>

Explanation:

To answer this question, we need to know that  

  • gross primary productivity (GPP) = energy captured and converted into chemical energy during photosynthesis
  • net primary productivity (NPP) = difference between GPP and respiration rate

So, to calculate GPP we need to sum NPP to Respiration rate. This if,

NPP = 165,000 kcal/m2/yr

R = 95,000 kcal/m2/yr

NPP = GPP – Respiration

Then,

GPP = NPP + R

GPP = 165,000 kcal/m2/yr + 95,000 kcal/m2/yr

GPP = 260,000 kcal/m2/yr

Aquaporins would be expected to _____ in numbers when _____ is present in the blood
dangina [55]

Aquaporins would be expected to increase in numbers when there is an insufficient amount of water present in the blood.

Aquaporins are a type of proteins which are present in the integral membrane of the cells. They act as channels and help in the transport of water and small solutes across the membrane.

Whenever there is insufficient amount of water present in the blood, the antidiuretic hormone or the ADH responds. The aquaporins increase in number in the blood. They allow the transcellular reabsorption of water. Due to this fact, more water is able to escape from the collecting tubules and enter the blood.
