Answer: it is only a hormone storage area that receives hormones from the hypothalamus for release

Endocrine glands are glands that secrete products, hormones, directly into the blood rather than through a duct. The pituitary gland  is one of the  major glands of the endocrine system but the posterior lobe itself serves  only a storage area of hormone   and do not do the function of a true endocrine gland which is to secrete hormones

Oxygen must dissolve into fluid lining alveoli prior to diffusing into our pulmonary capillaries but we cannot breathe water. Ex
tamaranim1 [39]

Answer:

The strong hydrogen bonds   in water made water stable and difficult to breakdown into constituent  oxygen and hydrogen atoms.  at a temprature less than 100 degree..

Oxygen is a strong electronegative atom than  the two hydrogen atoms it is attached to in  water. It  pulls more electrons to itself than the hydrogen atoms.. This strengthened  hydrogen bonds in water .

Consequently, it will be difficult for the needed oxygen atoms to simply diffuse into the alveoli to reach the blood,Compare to its  molecular form  where its atoms awere held  by relatively week covalent bonds.

Besides the porosity    of the thin  alveolar endothelial   walls of 0.2 micrometer is   too small for the larger water molecules to pass through.

Explain how we theoretically get 32 atp molecules per glucose oxidized in the liver, but only 30 atp molecules per glucose oxidi
svet-max [94.6K]

Answer:

During the oxidation of glucose in the liver the malate aspartate shuttle system is used, therefore, two additional ATPs get generated at the step constituting glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase.  

On the other hand, in the brain, a cell uses the glycerol phosphate shuttle system, which generates two less number of ATPs. However, the remaining of the energetics for the number of ATP in both cases are similar.  

Thus, the difference is based upon the kind of shuttle system used that leads to the production of 32 ATPs in liver cells and 30 ATPs in the brain cells.
