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.

What is true concerning hemoglobin.
Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

A protein molecule present in the RBCs, which helps in the transportation of oxygen from the lungs to the different parts of the body and brings back carbon dioxide, that is, collected from different parts of the body back to the lungs is known as hemoglobin.  

The general features of hemoglobin are that it comprises four molecules of protein in the form of globulin chains. In adults, the molecules of hemoglobin comprise two beta-globulin chains and two alpha globulin chains, while in infants and fetuses, the beta chains are least found, and is substituted by two gamma chains.  

Each globulin chain comprises an essential iron-containing compound porphyrin, which is termed as heme. Together both iron and heme play an essential role in circulating oxygen and carbon dioxide in the blood. This iron gives the red appearance to the blood.

Snakes and lizards are reptiles. Both organisms have pelvic organs, even though snakes don’t have hind legs. What are the best e
dusya [7]

Answer:

Option B, Snakes and lizards share a common ancestor.

Explanation:

From the description provided, it is clear that both the lizard and snake (including pythons) have evolved from the same ancestors which had hind legs. Since both the organism (i.e lizard and snake) underwent evolution (differently) for million of years such that the hind legs in lizard are visible and used even today but the hind legs in snakes are buried in  muscles toward their tail ends and are not used. Such features which are not used at all or are poorly used are called as vestigial organs.

Hence, option B is correct

suppose a cell wishes to make a protein that has 100 amino acid. How many water molecules will be created in the making of this
slega [8]
The answer is 99.

Amino acids <span>contain a carboxyl group (carbon-containing) and an amino group (nitrogen containing). Proteins are made by forming peptide bonds between the carboxyl and amino group of amino acids.
</span>If a protein is made of 100 amino acids, that means there are 99 peptide bonds (because the last, 100th amino acid will not bind the next (101st) amino acid). For each peptide bond that is created, one oxygen atom and two hydrogen atoms are taken. Therefore, one water molecule is created for each peptide bond. If there are 99 peptide bonds, 99 water molecules are created.
