Answer:

Average atomic mass = 21.38 amu.

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of first isotope = 21 amu

Abundance of first isotope = 62%

Mass of second isotope = 22 amu

Abundance of second isotope = 38%

Average atomic mass = ?

Solution:

Average atomic mass  = (abundance of 1st isotope × its atomic mass) +(abundance of 2nd isotope × its atomic mass)  / 100

Average atomic mass  = (62×21)+(38×22) /100

Average atomic mass =  1302 +836 / 100

Average atomic mass = 2138 / 100

Average atomic mass = 21.38 amu.

ADH secretion can be stimulated by either blood osmolarity changes or blood pressure changes in the heart or large vessels. ADH
marusya05 [52]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

The ADH is related to the liquid pressure indide the body, it controls the pressure of it in order to mantain a perfect body homeostasis. In consequence, everytime there is a blood osmolarity change, a blood pressure change in the heart or large vessels it is secretated because these parts of the organisms contain most of the liquids of the body.

laila [671]

Answer: True,

Small amounts of hormones have large effects on an organism because the signals are amplified between glands and tissues due to the second messenger systems.

explanation:

Second messemgers are the intracellular molecules which are activated by the extracellular molecules. Second messengers intracellulary triggers physiological changes such as proliferation differentiation migration etc.

When hormones are released they bind to specific receptors such as G-coupled recptors,tyrosine recpetor which when activated further activates second messengers such as cAMP and STAT respectively.

These second messengers amplify the hormone secretion and production by phosphorylation and increasing transcription.

Hence this is true that second messnegers amplify the hormones and their physiological results.
