The statement above is false. The blood levels of calcium is regulated by parathyroid hormone.When one is not getting adequate calcium in one's diet and the blood level of calcium is low, the parathyroid hormone will be released. The parathyroid hormone can increase the blood calcium in several ways:
1. by stimulating osteoclasts which break down bone and release calcium into the blood stream.
2. by increasing the amount of calcium re-absorbed by the kidney before it can be excreted in urine.
3. by triggering the formation of calcitriol which increases the absorption of dietary calcium at the intestines.
Answer: The following statements <em>comparing respiration in fish and in mammals</em> is correct:
- The movement of the respiratory medium in mammals is bidirectional, but in fish it is unidirectional.
Explanation:
<u>Breathing </u>is the process by which living beings <em>exchange gases</em> with the external environment. It consists of the <u>entry of oxygen</u> into the body of a living being and the <u>exit of carbon dioxide</u> from it .
Active ventilation occurs if the animal produces the currents (of air or water) that flow to and from its respiratory membranes. It can be :
- Unidirectional. (air or water is pumped onto the respiratory membrane in only one direction).
- Bidirectional. (air or water is transported to the respiratory membrane and moves away from it through the same route like in the mammals).
Explanation:
Nuclear Has The Highest Capacity Factor
That's about 1.5 to 2 times more as natural gas and coal units, and 2.5 to 3.5 times more reliable than wind and solar plants.
2 because animals do not have chloroplast or a cell wall
