Which endocrine gland maintains the body's homeostatic set point at 37 c?

Biology

Rashid [163]3 years ago

The endocrine gland that primarily controls the body's normal temperature as well as having it set to a homeostatic set point of 37 degrees Celsius is the hypothalamus, specifically, the anterior hypothalamus which primarily functions as a thermoregulator.

A performer, seated on a trapeze, is swinging back and forth with a period of 8.90 s. If she stands up, thus raising the center
iren2701 [21]

Answer:

8.800s

Explanation:

When the performer swings, she oscillates in SHM about Lo of the string with time period To = 8.90s.

First, determine the original length Lo, where for a SHM the time period is related to length and the gravitational acceleration by the equation

T = 2π×√(Lo/g)..... (1)

Let's make Lo the subject of the formulae

Lo = gTo^2/4π^2 ..... (2)

Let's put our values into equation (2) to get Lo

Lo = gTo^2/4π^2

= (9.8m/s^2)(8.90s)^2

------------------------------

4π^2

= 19.663m

Second instant, when she rise by 44.0cm, so the length Lo will be reduced by 44.0cm and the final length will be

L = Lo - (0.44m)

= 19.663m - 0.44m

= 19.223m

Now let use the value of L into equation (1) to get the period T after raising

T = 2π×√(L/g)

= 2π×√(19.223m/9.8m/s^2)

= 8.800s

The cell membranes of Antarctic ice fish might have which of the following adaptations? a. a high percentage of unsaturated fatt
zubka84 [21]

Answer:

c. a high percentage of very long chain saturated fatty acids

Explanation:

Saturated fatty acids do not have double bonds (they are saturated with hydrogens), so their tails are relatively straight. Unsaturated fatty acids, on the other hand, contain one or more double bonds, which often produces an elbow or bend. (You can see an example of an unsaturated bent tail in the phospholipid structure diagram that appears at the beginning of this article.) Saturated and unsaturated phospholipid fatty acid tails behave differently when the temperature drops:

- At colder temperatures, the straight tails of saturated fatty acids can be tightly bound, producing a dense and quite rigid membrane.

- Phospholipids with unsaturated fatty acid tails cannot bind so closely due to the bent structure of their tails. For this reason, an unsaturated phospholipid membrane remains fluid at lower temperatures than a saturated phospholipid membrane.

Most cell membranes contain a mixture of phospholipids, some with two saturated (straight) tails and others with a saturated tail and an unsaturated (folded) tail. <u>Many organisms — fish, for example — can adapt physiologically to cold environments by changing the proportion of unsaturated fatty acids in their membranes, that is, increasing the proportion of saturated long-chain fatty acids.</u>

In addition to phospholipids, animals have an additional component in their membrane that helps them maintain fluidity. Cholesterol, another type of lipid that is embedded between the membrane phospholipids, helps decrease the effects of temperature on fluidity.
