<span>The first law of thermodynamics is follows the quantity dQ = dW + dU where Q is the heat flow, W is the work and U is the internal energy. Only the internal energy is a state function where it means that it does not follow a specific path to arrive at a certain number. Whereas the work and heat are not state functions and they follow a specific path or process in order to arrive at a certain number. An example would be  if y</span>ou are given 2,380 J of energy to do work as 12,900 J and you are to find the internal energy. Apply the equation above:

Q = U + W
2,380 J = U + 12,900 J
U = 15,280J.

What is it called when two hormones cancel each other out or have opposite effects?
mina [271]

antagonism

When two hormones cancel each other out or have opposite effects it is called antagonism.

<h3>What is an example of antagonism?</h3>
  • Traditional examples of antagonistic hormones include insulin and glucagon.
  • In contrast to glucagon, which stimulates glycogenolysis, or the conversion of glycogen to glucose, insulin stimulates glycogenesis, or the conversion of glucose to glycogen.

<h3>What does the term "antagonistic hormones" mean?</h3>
  • Antagonistic hormones are those that work to bring body circumstances back from extremes to within acceptable bounds.
  • An illustration of how the endocrine system maintains homeostasis through the action of antagonistic hormones is the regulation of blood glucose concentration (by negative feedback).

<h3>How do antagonists to hormones function?</h3>
  • Infertility, endometriosis, and uterine fibroids are just a few of the diseases that gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH) antagonists are used to treat in women.
  • GnRH is a hormone released by the hypothalamus that is the target of GnRH antagonists, which stop it from functioning.

What’s the difference between a standing defense and an induced defense?
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

The correct answer is: 4) Standing defenses are always present; induced defenses develop in response to a threat

Induced defense is defense that can be changed or invoked when needed. Induced defenses are slow to happen. When invoked, induced defense requires energy but otherwise doesn’t.

Standing defense is always there. It is use, for example when predation is a constant threat.
