Under which conditions do most types of cells function at optimal levels

Explanation:

Cells maintain a constant internal environment; this process called homeostasis, ensures that cells obtain an optimal environment in which they can best function.

The endocrine system involves chemical signalling via the secretion of molecules called hormones into extracellular fluid. They bind to chemical receptors in order to cause specific changes in target cells, these lead to changes in the body's internal environment called homeostasis.

It includes the thyroid, parathyroid, pituitary, pineal and adrenal glands along with other regions. The bone, adipose tissue, heart, pancreas and liver are a few of the regions of the body which show endocrine function. The brain, or control center functions to receive and process the information from the receptor. Effectors receive the control center's command and illicits a response in the form of a feedback loop, that may oppose or enhance the stimulus.

Further Explanation:

During homeostasis the body maintains a constant internal balance in pH, temperature, blood pressure etc. Cells in a multicellular organism become specialized for particular tasks and communicate with one another in order to maintain homeostasis. Within the human body these are known as hormone cascades, where several complex steps occur- the tissues signal to one another with the use of hormones released by the endocrine system. The regulation (increase and decrease) of these secretions is achieved by negative feedback loops, where the release of certain substances during a cascade in turn halts the secretion of hormones at earlier stages.

For example, cells within the human body function at an optimal temperature between 97°F (36.1°C) and 99°F (37.2°C). This is due to the optimal temperature requirement of the enzymes within the human body, which requires this specific range to obtain activation energy.

Which of these is an example of quantitative data collection?

aivan3 [116]

I would say A. Quantitative data involves numbers and stuff like that. Unlike qualitative data, which involves pictures and not numerical data. I hope this helped.

What happens to the sagittal crest from oldest to newest

prisoha [69]

In terms of human evolution, the sagittal crest was usually more pronounced and larger in older and robust species compared to younger or gracile species.

Hope that helped! :)

The data obtained from the meselson–stahl experiment after one generation of replication eliminated the dispersive model of dna

Sedaia [141]

<h2>Given statement is false</h2>

Explanation:

According to dispersive model of DNA replication,DNA molecules are hybrids of parental and daughter DNA;In this model each individual strand is a combination of original and new DNA

Meselson and Stahl did an experiment on DNA replication using E.coli bacteria

E.coli was grown in a medium containing heavy isotope of nitrogen,bacteria took up the nitrogen and used to synthesize new biological molecules,including DNA
It was grown for many generations,the nitrogenous bases of the bacteria's DNA were all labelled with heavy nitrogen
Bacteria were then switched to light nitrogen isotope and allowed to grow for several generations
They then measured the density of the DNA using density gradient centrifugation
This method separates molecules such as DNA into bands by spinning them at high speeds in the presence of another molecule, such as cesium chloride
Each DNA produced two DNA molecules each with one new strand and one old strand called semi conservative replication(half of the parental DNA conserved in daughter DNA)
Each DNA strand act as a template for synthesis of new strand
Hence,dispersive model of DNA was eliminated and semi-conservative model of DNA replication was proved by the above experiment

Why is so little of Earths surface found far above sea levels

jonny [76]

Hello! :)

The eroded material finds its way to the bottom of oceans because of gravity (from... According to the hypsometric curve (plot between elevation and % of earth's surface), only about 29% of Earth's surface is above the mean sea level, rest 71% has an elevation less than mean sea level.

Expression of the A and B antigens on red blood cells is influenced by the FUT1 gene. This gene encodes fucosyl transferase, an

Vinil7 [7]

Answer:

Individuals that cannot produce the H substance appear to be type O even if they have functional A and/or iB alleles.

Explanation:

The H antigen is a precursor to the ABO blood group antigens, present in people of all common blood types. The Bombay phenotype (hh) does not express antigen H on red blood cells.The person with blood group O contain the H antigen but it remains unmodified remains unmodified.
