Answer: Cholecystokinin

Explanation:

Cholecystokinin is the hormone which is secreted by the cells of the small intestine. The secretion is stimulated under the infleunce of amino acids, hydrochloric acids, and fatty acids into stomach or duedenum. It stimulates the gallbladder to release the stored bile into the intestine to facilitate digestion of fatty foods.

According to the given condition, cholecystokinin is the hormone which is not functioning properly.

Answer:

The cholecystokinin hormone is the one responsible for releasing the bile from gallbladder.

Explanation:

The cholecystokinin hormone is produced from cells in the duodenum (a part of the small intestine). When we eat food rich in fats, this enzyme stimulates the contraction of gallbladder to release the bile. Additionally, this enzyme stimulates other areas of the gastrointestinal system (pancreas and liver) to digest fat, proteins and carbohydrates and also is responsible for reducing appetite while we are eating. The persons who have little cholecystokinin have problems in digesting fats and also is related to obese people.

What causes the doldrums to be calm winds?
arlik [135]

Earth revolves around the sun, keeping doldrums stationary causes the doldrums to be calm winds. Thus, the correct option is C.

<h3>Why are the doldrums so calm?</h3>

The Intertropical Convergence Zone, also known as the doldrums or calms by sailors due to its constant lack of wind, is the area where the northeast and southeast trade winds meet. It encircles the Earth near the thermal equator, however its exact location changes with the seasons.

The sunlight beams down directly on the area around the equator, the Doldrums are caused by solar radiation from the sun. Instead of blowing horizontally, this heating causes the air to warm and climb straight up. As a result, there is little or no wind for weeks at a time.

In this assignment, you will use simulations to analyze how climate, resources, and habitat size affect
max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

Larger habitats support populations with higher carrying capacities. Higher quality habitats support populations with higher carrying capacities. There is no difference in population growth rate between large and small habitats. Some major threats to biodiversity are: Habitat destruction/Deforestation, Introduced and invasive species, Genetic pollution, Over exploitation, Hybridization, Climate change, Diseases, Human overpopulation. If abiotic or biotic factors change, the carrying capacity changes as well. Natural disasters can destroy resources in an ecosystem. If resources are destroyed, the ecosystem will not be able to support a large population. This causes the carrying capacity to decrease.  

Carrying capacity could be reduced if each individual within the species consumed less from the environment. Think about humans: if every human needs a four car garage and a large house, the planet can sustain fewer humans than if each human lived in a studio apartment and traveled using a bicycle. It would take 1.75 Earths to sustain our current population. If current trends continue, we will reach 3 Earths by the year 2050. It is beyond dispute that the modern industrial world has been able to temporarily expand Earth's carrying capacity for our species. As Nordhaus points out, population has grown dramatically (from less than a billion in 1800 to 7.6 billion today), and so has per capita consumption. Historically, habitat and land use change have had the biggest impact on biodiversity in all ecosystems, but climate change and pollution are projected to increasingly affect all aspects of biodiversity. Sustainable agriculture practices support integrating biodiversity in various ways including in terms of diversity of crops, traditional agriculture techniques to control pests and increase productivity as well as ensuring that farmed land is made up of a diverse mix of grazing land, crop land, orchards, wetlands and more.
