The statement is - True.

The solvent do contains chlorofluorocarbons (CFC) and hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFC) which evaporate and enter the atmosphere. Because they are very light, the CFC and HCFC manage to get very high into the atmosphere, reaching the ozone layer in the stratosphere. They are actually the two substances that are the most damaging to ozone layer, as once they get in touch with it, they break down its structure, thus creating the ozone holes.

The ozone is crucial for the survival of the living organisms on the Earth as it is the layer that manages to stop most of the ultraviolet rays form the Sun to reach the surface. Because of that, these two substances have to be replaced quickly as the ozone layer is becoming more and more damaged, and that can eventually lead to a tragedy

Which of the following is UNLIKELY to affect bone remodeling?
S_A_V [24]

Glucagon

This is a hormone that deals with blood sugar homeostasis. When blood sugar levels are low, glucagon is produced to convert the fats in the reserve back to glucose until normal levels are achieved.

Explanation:

Bone remodeling involves coordinations of osteoclasts and osteoblasts cells in the bone. The former breaks down bone tissue while the latter mineralizes bones. Calcium is the main ion in the body significant in mineralization of bone. Excess Ca2+ is stored in bone while low calcium levels in blood result in bone resorption.  

Stress on a bone also causes increased mineralization to strengthen the bone against this stress. This is why astronauts when they go to space, due to less stress from low gravity, bone loses its mass. When they return back to earth, the bone readjusts to the increased stress from higher gravity by increased mineralization.

The hormone responsible for bone homeostasis is parathyroid hormone.

Oksanka [162]
GM foods should be labeled in food stores. If, for example, someone wanted to buy a GM Apple, which could be enriched in chemicals, that should be labeled different than a regular apple. What if someone was allergic to some of the modifications in that apple. If there was a label on that apple, that person would not get a allergic reaction. That is why GM products should be labeled.
