Which hormone increases osteoclast activity to release more calcium ions into the bloodstream?

Biology

Nesterboy [21]3 years ago

Answer: both parathyroid hormone and calcitrol.

Explanation:

In the body calcium homeostasis, which is generally defined as the maintenance of specific internal conditions, is mediated by the endocrine system through hormonal control; hormones are usually specialized signal molecules derived from lipids or amino acids. This regulates the calcium flux between the bloodstream and the bone; and the hormones responsible, change the ratio of osteoclast activity to osteoblast activity -osteoblasts build bone while osteoclasts breakdown or degrade bone.

Hormones responsible include calcitonin (from special parafollicular cells in the thyroid gland), cacitrol (activated vitamin D) and the parathyroid hormone (from the  parathyroid glands).  These affect the absorption of calcium from the gut, or kidney reabsorption; both parathyroid hormone and calcitrol act by causing the release of calcium ions into the bloodstream as the bone is degraded by osteoclasts.

Using a microscope

Explanation:

A microscope is a scientific device used for magnifying and studying very tiny features.

It was invented by Anton Von Leeuwenhoek in the 17th century.

  • A unicellular organism is an organism made up of a single cell.
  • A multi-cellular organism is made up of several cells.
  • A cell is a very small microscopic structure.
  • It is usually described as the fundamental unit of life.
  • Due to its small size, the naked eyes cannot see it
  • The invention of the microscope opened up the world of cells.
  • Since they have been around for a long time, distinction of cells would have been made possible at those times using a microscope.

xxMikexx [17]

The correct answer is:

A. Will have a intermediate trait 3. Glucose aversion is a genetically-determined incompletely dominant trait

B. Will refuse glucose 2. Glucose aversion is a genetically-determined dominant trait

C. Have a mix of traits depending on experience 4. Glucose aversion is a learned behavior

D. Will accept glucose 1. Glucose aversion is a genetically-determined recessive trait

If we put it simple and say that for example glucose aversion is genetically determinated, with the genotype AA and eating glucose with the genotype aa. The offspring will have Aa genotype (heterozygous). Depending on which phenotype is expressed in heterozygous we can conclude whether the trait is dominant or recessive or due to earned behavior.

What are the different types of farming practices
givi [52]
The different types of farming practices is ranching, dry and irrigated farming, mixed farming, single and multi-crop farming, diversified and specialized farming are all types of farming. Specialized farming can be further broken down into dairy farming, raising sheep or raising cattle.
Ranching is the practice of grazing animals on public lands and may also include raising livestock on public land. Ranching is commonly practiced in Australia, Tibet and in the hillier regions of India. Specialized farming that focuses on raising sheep, cattle or other animals, however, doesn’t utilize public lands for grazing.
Single and multi-crop farming are types of specialized farming. Specialized farming can also refer to farms that only grow 2 or 3 crops in order to maximize profits. By producing their crops on a large scale, the farmers are capable of bulk production.
Specialized farming has some handicaps in that it’s dependent upon a favorable market. Having only a few types of crops can backfire if the crops fail as well. In addition, specializing can have a negative impact on the soil.
Mixed farming refers to mixing enterprises on a single farm, such as a dairy farm that also raises livestock. It’s a type of diversified farming that usually focuses on multiple crops or specialties that support one another. Diversified farming has the advantage of providing year-round labor, but too much diversification can lead to mismanagement and neglect of certain enterprises.
