The given question is incorrect. The correct question is:

Question: A metabolic bone disorder, particularly common in postmenopausal women, is called.......

1. osteoporosis.

2. lordosis

3. kyphosis.

4. osteitis

5. deformans.

Answer:

1. osteoporosis.

Explanation:

Osteoporosis refers to the decreased bone mass and the resultant increased susceptibility to fractures. Women of older ages are more likely to be affected as a result of decreased levels of estrogens. Production of estrogens in women declines greatly at menopause. Estrogens serve to stimulate osteoblast activity. Osteoblasts are the cells of the bones and serve to secrete the proteins of the bone matrix. This results in reduced bone mass after menopause in women and causes osteoporosis.

Phytoplankton are so tiny you need a microscope to see them. How do they affect the global carbon cycle?
Ksju [112]

Answer:

Phytoplanktons are microscopic creatures that are primary producers of oceans. Phytoplanktons take carbon dioxide from atmosphere to make their food and then they are eaten by some other animals of oceans.

Phytoplanktons are present in huge numbers in oceans and have a great contribution to the carbon cycle because it is responsible for the transfer of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere to the oceans.  

Most of the carbon is released through combustion by animals that eat phytoplanktons but some accumulate in the ocean floor because some dead phytoplanktons settles down in the ocean.

What are the different methods of transport across a membrane ?
dusya [7]
If I remember correctly, there are two main types of transport—passive and active. Passive transport does not require energy or ATP, whereas active transport does.


Types of passive transport include diffusion and osmosis, both of which involve moving down a concentration gradient and thus not requiring energy.


Active transport moves up the concentration gradient and does require energy.


Perhaps someone who has taken bio within the last several years can correct anything I might have misstated here.
