Answer:

(C). calcitriol.

Explanation:

PTH (parathyroid hormone) is a peptide hormone, synthesized and secreted by parathyroid glands. It helps in regulation of calcium level in blood by affecting intestine, bones, and kidneys.

PTH increases blood calcium by promoting synthesis of calcitriol hormone, which represents an active form of vitamin D.

Calcitriol increases calcium level in blood by increasing calcium absorption in intestine, increasing calcium reabsorption in kidneys, decreasing calcium, and by activating osteoclats (bone cells) to release calcium.

Thus, the correct answer is option (c).

Two males weigh 195 pounds and are 45 years old. one has a body fat percentage of 13% and the other's body fat percentage is 29%
Komok [63]
The burn of calories is connected to gender, mass and the age. These characteristics are the similar for both individuals, so you have to look for the outcome of the body fat percentage.


Muscles are an active tissue which suggests that at rest they burn calories in a bigger proportion than fat. So, the male with more muscles will likely burn more calories at rest.


The lower the fat percentage the higher the muscle percentage.



To conclude, that the male with 13% of body fat will burn more calories at rest than the male with 29% of body fat.
