Answer:
Salut!
- Light enters the eye through the cornea.
- Light travels to the macula within the retina.
- Rhodopsin absorbs light, and the Vitamin A changes shape.
- Vitamin A detaches from the rhodopsin, and some vitamin A is lost.
- Vitamin A from the bloodstream replenishes what is lost. The vitamin A returns to its original shape.
Explanation:
Retina is the part of the eye that contains photosensitive cells that capture light and produce the electrical signals that the brain perceives as images. These photosensitive cells are of two kinds:
Rods contain the photosensitive pigment, rhodopsin that is needed for vision at night or in dim light. Cones function in bright light.
Rhodopsin Bleaching:
Vision in bright or excessive light requires a process called rhodopsin bleaching which is the degradation of rhodopsin upon exposure to light. Upon contact with light, rhodopsin goes through structural changes characterized by the conversion of a pigment derived from Vitamin A, 11-<em>cis</em> retinal to all <em>trans</em> retinal. This chemical conversion initiates a photo-transduction reaction (reaction in which a photon of light is converted into electrical signals) that produces the electrical signals that travel to the brain via the optic nerve. The brain converts the electrical signals to images. This is followed by rhodopsin regeneration in the dark in which all <em>trans</em> retinal is converted back into 11 <em>cis</em> retinal.
The answer is e. Calcitonin, Aldosterone and Atrial natriuretic peptide.
The calcitonin is a hormone secreted by the thyroid gland. Calcitonin is involved in the regulation of the levels of calcium and phosphate in the blood. Aldosterone is a hormone secreted by the adrenal gland. It is essential for maintaining the store of sodium in the kidney, salivary glands, sweat glands and colon. Atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) or Atrial natriuretic factor (ANF) is a peptide hormone synthesized, and secreted by cardiac muscle cells in the heart. ANP is involved in the regulation of sodium levels in the cells of the heart.
Answer:
Fish is a species that has a spine. Although other species in that list have spines, fish is a representative vertebrate example when learning about them.
Explanation:
A vertebrate is a species that has a spine / multiple vertebrae.

So, they do eat...they do reproduce...they are simple...and can move.
So if you were lazy and skipped a type of food mentioned or anything, please ask the entire question, with all the included words. This way I can evaluate from how/the way they say it.
