The statement above is false. The blood levels of calcium is regulated by parathyroid hormone.When one is not getting adequate calcium in one's diet and the blood level of calcium is low, the parathyroid hormone will be released. The parathyroid hormone can increase the blood calcium in several ways:
1. by stimulating osteoclasts which break down bone and release calcium into the blood stream.
2. by increasing the amount of calcium re-absorbed by the kidney before it can be excreted in urine.
3. by triggering the formation of calcitriol which increases the absorption of dietary calcium at the intestines.
Answer:
C
Explanation:
Producers are also known as autotrophs, which they make their own food. Producers capture sunlight energy and use it to convert CO2 (carbon dioxide) and H2O (water) into O2 (oxygen) and C6H12O6 (glucose) for other organisms to use. This process is called photosynthesis.
Answer:
Prokaryotic cell has undeveloped nucleus but eukaryotic cell has well developed nucleus.
Answer: Option (d) is the correct answer.
Explanation:
Nucleus of an atom consists of protons and neutrons. Protons are positively charged and neutrons have no charge. So, due to the like charges of protons there occurs electrostatic force of repulsion inside the nucleus of the atom.
But due to similar number of neutrons and protons a force that is able to bind both of them together is known as strong nuclear binding energy.
This force is strong enough that it is able to overcome electrostatic force of repulsion. But when there is great difference in the number of protons and neutrons then binding force is not strong enough.
Hence, the atom becomes unstable and undergoes radioactive decay. So, this means weak forces are responsible for radioactive decay.
Thus, we can conclude that the statement which best describes Yanni’s error is that the strong force is responsible for radioactive decay.
