In addition to endocrine glands, some organs whose functions are primarily nonendocrine also produce hormones. these endocrine tissues include heart and kidneys.  
<span>
The heart can act as an endocrine organ by releasing natriuretic peptides that lower the blood pressure. Those are an A-type natriuretic peptide (ANP) from the from stretched atria and B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) from the ventricles.</span>  
<span>
The kidney secretes two hormones: erythropoietin (EPO) which increase the production of red blood cells and calcitriol (active vitamin D3) which promotes the absorption of Ca and its release from the bones.</span>

Describe how the structures of proteins differ from the structures of carbohydrates
Masteriza [31]

Answer:

Both are considered macromolecules. I'll explain below

Explanation:

Proteins are like a huge Lego construction. Each individual piece gets pieced together to make a larger "thing" - Death Star, House, etc. Each individual piece is a monomer, and the larger construction is the polymer. The monomers are Amino Acids and they get pieced together to form the polymer that is called a protein. The linkage that they use is an amide bond, and in biology it is usually called a peptide bond.

Carbohydrates can be singular monomers or polymer units. They are made of completely different compounds - usually aldehydes or ketones. And they link together through different chemical linkages (acetal or ketal linkages for polymers,hemiacetal or hemiketal linkages for monomers).

Both can be large, 3D strucutres - proteins are only functional as a large, 3D structure, while carbohydrates can be singular.

Definition of metabolism
trasher [3.6K]
Metabolism involves the over-all chemical reactions of the body. It is divided into two kinds. The first one is catabolism which is the breaking down of molecules to acquire energy. Anabolism, the other type, is the synthesis of all the molecules that are needed by the cells.
