Answer:
Thyroid gland
Explanation:
Parathyroid glands are the endocrine glands and are four in number. One superior and one inferior parathyroid glands are attached to each lateral lobe of the thyroid gland. These glands are found embedded in the tissues of the lateral lobes of the thyroid gland. During the removal of thyroid glands in patients, parathyroid glands may be mistakenly removed.
<span>The correct answers are that it lacks cells, DNA, and cannot maintain homeostasis. It doesn't have any organic matter and homeostasis is impossible because it would turn off eventually. It doens't have DNA and it doesn't reproduce. It's just plasma and it is not a living being, it just moves because of the chemical reactions that occur. </span>
<span>A moist environment because physical weathering processes such as oxidation take place most quickly in the presence of water.
There are three types of weathering, physical, chemical, and biological.
For the physical weathering, there are two main types. Freeze-thaw cycles and exfoliation. Obviously the freeze-thaw cycles require water and the exfoliation generally happens through thermal expansion and contraction which doesn't require water. But since neither of these mechanisms were observed, that doesn't indicate if the area was wet or dry. Biological weathering is caused by plants or animals breaking down rocks via chemical (acid) or mechanical (root growth) means. Life generally indicates the presence of water, but since this form of weathering wasn't observed, we still don't have enough data. Chemical weathering is caused by rain water reacting with the rocks to form new minerals and salts. There are several types such as acidic rainwater dissolving part of the rock, and oxidation. With this in mind, let's take a look at the available options.
A moist environment because there is a greater density of oxygen in the atmosphere in the presence of water.
* Yes, we need a moist environment, but the density of oxygen is fairly constant world wide regardless of how moist or dry the environment is. So this is a bad choice.
A moist environment because physical weathering processes such as oxidation take place most quickly in the presence of water.
* Water speeds up chemical weathering of all types. So this is the correct choice.
A dry environment because the increased albedo of deserts encourages physical weathering processes such as oxidation.
* Yes, the increased albedo of deserts does speed up spalling, but oxidation is a CHEMICAL weathering process, not a PHYSICAL one. So this is a bad choice.
A dry environment because in the absence of water oxidation is the dominant weathering process.
* Water speeds up oxidation quite a bit. And since the observed oxidation is thick, there's been quite a bit of weathering. So this is a bad choice.</span>
The right answer is A.
Osmosis is a phenomenon that considers only the exchanges between two liquid solutions of different concentrations in liquid phases separated by a semi-permeable wall. Osmosis is a phenomenon of diffusion of matter, demonstrated when solvent molecules pass through a semi-permeable membrane separating two solutions whose solute concentrations are different; the overall transfer of solvent is then from the least concentrated solution (hypotonic medium) to the most concentrated solution (hypertonic medium) to equilibrium (isotonic media).
The diffusion of matter, or chemical diffusion, refers to the natural tendency of a system to render uniform the chemical potential of each of the chemical species it contains.
Chemical diffusion is an irreversible transport phenomenon that tends to homogenize the composition of the medium.
A. Multiple organ systems working together
Explanation:
All of the organ systems work together to maintain homeostasis in humans because each system does something different. For example, the circulatory system delivers oxygen rich blood to the bones and the bones create new blood cells. When one thing is wrong with one system, it affects all of the systems, like a disease. Another example of this would be the central nervous systems and endocrine working together to coordinate messages to the brain about the body's state while resting and exercising to maintain homeostasis.
