A hormone that regulates mineral levels is ________.

Biology
1 answer:
quester [9]3 years ago
8 0

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.

After watching the video, how would you define the term ecological relationship? Are they always beneficial to organisms involve
dangina [55]

Answer:

There is no video but ecological relationship will be defined on a general note and it is not always beneficial to organisms.

Explanation:

In an ecosystem, organisms of the same or different species tend to interact with one another. This interaction is referred to as ECOLOGICAL RELATIONSHIP between the involved organisms. An ecological relationship can be of different types depending on the effect.

SYMBIOSIS is an ecological relationship between two organisms that interact together. SYMBIOSIS can either be mutualistic (both organisms benefit), parasitic (one organism loses and one gains), or commensalistic (one organism benefits and one neither benefits or loses). Another ecological relationship is PREDATION, where one organism called the PREDATOR feeds on part or all of another organism called PREY in order to obtain energy.

As stated above, some of the organisms involved in an ecological relationship benefits while others lose. Hence, it is not always a beneficial relationship to organisms.

Ordinary cell division produces two daughter cells that are genetically identical. This type of cell division is important for a
Ratling [72]

Answer:

C) production of sperm and eggs

Explanation:

Sperms and eggs are the male and female gametes respectively. Formation of sperms and egg cells require meiotic cell division. Meiosis in sperm mother cells and egg mother cells reduces the chromosome number of half in the sperms and eggs. Meiosis also adds new gene combinations in these gametes by the process of crossing over.  

Mitosis cannot reduce the chromosome number to half in the sperms and eggs. Absence of crossing over in mitosis leads to the formation of genetically identical progeny cells from mitosis.  

Hence, mitosis can not form sperms and egg cells.  If it does, the sperms and egg cells would not have genetic variations and there would be doubling of chromosome number with each round of sexual reproduction.

Difference between i) bacteriostatic and bactericidal and ii) broad and narrow spectrum?
Ludmilka [50]

Answer:

Narrow-spectrum antibiotics target a few types of bacteria. Broad-spectrum antibiotics target many types of bacteria. Both types work well to treat infections. But using broad-spectrum antibiotics when they're not needed can create antibiotic-resistant bacteria that are hard to treat.
