The mineral that calciltonin and parathyroid hormone regulate would be calcium. These two hormones work together to regulate and maintain the calcium ion level present in blood. Calcitonin is a hormone that is being produced by the C-cells which controls phosphate and calcium levels in the body by reducing the levels, counteracting the action of the parathyroid hormone which raises the level of the phosphate and the calcium ions in the blood. The parathyoroid hormone is produced in the parathyroid glands which functions in bone remodeling and controlling calcium levels. Together, they work together to maintain the levels of these ions in the blood which would be the safest level.

<span>Red blood cells normally have a biconcave shape (picture a donut, but instead of a hole through the centre there's just a downward slope to the centre of the cell). If the cell takes on water, it will increase in size and the sloped areas will start to flatten out. If the cell loses water, it will begin to shrivel. Use these observations and your understanding of osmosis to answer the question!</span>

Why does conduction occur more easily in solids and liquids, than in gases?
blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

Because liquids and solids are denser than gasses.

Explanation:

Solids and liquids are denser than gasses making it easier for things like sound to conduct through them. Being dense contributes to a better conduction because the particles and such within the solid or liquid are closer together which allows for things like sound to travel at a much faster rate because they're so much easier to vibrate.

<h3>What is the igneous rock?</h3>

These rocks come straight from the interior of the Earth.

A liquid mass of silicate composition comes from the Earth's core. This melted mass comes at an extremely high temperature.

Magma begins to cool and solidify during its ascent to the Earth's surface. It solidifies and crystallizes into igneous rock following the magnetic field orientation.

Thre are two types of igneous rocks

• plutonic rocks ⇒ in areas close to the terrestrial crust ⇒ intrusive

• volcanic rocks ⇒ on the surface ⇒ extrusive

According to this description, the correct option is B. <em>Large mineral </em><em>crystals</em><em>.</em>
