Name two hormones produced by the endocrine system and describe how they work with other organ systems to maintain homeostasis

The 2 hormones are insulin & glucagon.

A hormone will only act on a part of the body it 'fits'. A hormone can be thought of as a key, and its target site ( i.e an organ) has specially shaped locks on the cell walls. 
If the hormone fits, then it will work.

The hormone can set off a cascade of other singling pathways in the cell to cause an immediate effect ( for instance, insulin signaling leads to a rapid uptake of glucose in muscle cells)

The endocrine system is a tightly regulated system that keeps the hormones and their effects at just the right level. One way this is achieved is through ' feedback loops'. The release of hormones is regulated by other hormones, proteins or neuronal signals.

The released hormone then has its effect on other organs. This effect on the organ feeds back to the original signal to control any further hormone release.


btw- found all this info @ the Better Health channel, an australian government health website , so if your still confused by my answer, check out this website

igomit [66]

Answer:

6118.11\frac{in}{min}

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, by knowing that 1 inch equals 2.54 cm and 60 seconds equals 1 min, the resulting value results:

=259\frac{cm}{s}*\frac{1in}{2.54cm}*\frac{60s}{1min}\\   \\=6118.11\frac{in}{min}

Best regards.

What is the predominant intermolecular force in the liquid state of each of these compounds: ammonia (NH3), methane (CH4), and n
MAVERICK [17]

Answer:

The  predominant intermolecular force in the liquid state of each of these compounds:

ammonia (NH3)

methane (CH4)

and nitrogen trifluoride (NF3)

Explanation:

The types of intermolecular forces:

1.Hydrogen bonding: It is a weak electrostatic force of attraction that exists between the hydrogen atom and a highly electronegative atom like N,O,F.

2.Dipole-dipole interactions: They exist between the oppositely charged dipoles in a polar covalent molecule.

3. London dispersion forces exist between all the atoms and molecules.

NH3 ammonia consists of intermolecular H-bonding.

Methane has London dispersion forces.

Because both carbon and hydrogen has almost similar electronegativity values.

NF3 has dipole-dipole interactions due to the electronegativity variations between nitrogen and fluorine.

CH4(g) + H2O(g) CO(g) + 3H2(g)
boyakko [2]
Presuming the arrow is between H20 and CO

On the left there are 2 gas moles.
On the right there are 4 gas moles.

The equilibrium will shift to the side with the most no. He gas moles when pressure is decreased.

Therefore the answer is A, since 4>2.
