Transport of calcium ions OUT OF cells f. Transport of calcium ions INTO the cytoplasm of a cell from the ECF g.

Answer:

Transport of sodium ions out of the cell

Transport of potassium into the cells

Transport of calcium ions out of cell

Transport of calcium ions OUT OF the cytoplasm of a cell and INTO an organelle that has a high concentration of calcium ions.

Explanation:

In general the concentration of sodium ion is higher outside the cell in the extracellular fluid and the concentration of potassium ion is higher inside the cell.  

During an active transport, a cell uses energy to move molecules against the gradient as a part of primary active transport. In the secondary active transport, the molecules move as per the electrochemical gradient established by the primary active transport.  

In primary active transport, sodium ion moves out of the cell and potassium ion moves into the cell through the assistance of sodium potassium pump. In order to maintain the stability, calcium ion from the sarcoplasmic reticulum is pumped out of the cell

Hence , the correct answers are

Transport of sodium ions out of the cell

Transport of potassium into the cells

Transport of calcium ions out of cell

Transport of calcium ions OUT OF the cytoplasm of a cell and INTO an organelle that has a high concentration of calcium ions.

Select the endocrine organ from the drop-down menu that matches with its hormone.
Papessa [141]

Answer: The options were missing, but the endocrine organs that secret each gland are:  

Pituitary gland: Thyroid-stimulating hormone

Pituitary gland: Adrenocorticotropic

Hypothalamus: Gonadotropic

Pituitary gland: Prolactin

Pituitary gland: Growth hormone

Thyroid gland: Thyroxine

Thyroid gland: Calcitonin

Thyroid gland: Triiodothyronine

Hypothalamus: Antidiuretic

Hypothalamus: Oxytocin

Adrenal gland: Glucocorticoids

Adrenal gland: Mineralocorticoids

Adrenal gland: Epinephrine

Pineal gland: Melatonin

Thymus gland: Thymosins

Pancreas: Insulin

Pancreas: Glucagon

Explanation:

  • The pituitary gland, also known as the hypophysis, produces the thyroid-stimulating hormone, the adrenocorticotropic, prolactin, and growth hormone. The hypophysis has two parts, the anterior one and the posterior one. The anterior one secretes these hormones thanks to the action of hormones that comes from the hypothalamus.
  • The hypothalamus, which is a gland that is in the brain, produces:

gonadotropic, antidiuretic, and oxytocin. Once produced, they are stored and secreted by hypophysis. In this case, these hormones are in the other portion of the hypophysis, the posterior part. The hormones act in the reproductive system.

  • The thyroid gland, which is in the neck, produce and secretes:

thyroxine, calcitonin, and triiodothyronine. The calcitonin controls calcium concentration, while the thyroxine and triiodothyronine impact the cells' metabolism.

  • The adrenal gland is above the kidneys. It secretes Glucocorticoids, Epinephrine, and Mineralocorticoids. The mineralocorticoids regulate the concentrations of water and salt in our body; glucocorticoids have many functions, one is fighting inflammation; lastly, epinephrine, also known as adrenaline, is released in a fight or flight reaction.
  • The pancreas is an organ and a gland. As a gland, it secretes glucagon and insulin to regulate the concentration of glucose in the blood.
  • The pineal gland is on the brain. This gland secretes melatonin, which is a hormone that helps us to sleep.
  • The thymus gland is in the chest, and it produces a hormone called thymosin. This hormone helps in the production of leucocytes, which the thymus produces.

The evolution of arthropods has led to
Galina-37 [17]

Answer:

Arthropods make up almost 80% of all animals; they are jointed legged animals that belong to the Animalia kingdom that include centipedes, millipedes, insects, and spiders. The success of arthropods can mainly be attributed by the following characteristics;

Presence of Exoskeleton.

The presence of exoskeleton that hardens due to the presence of chitin offers a protective cover for arthropods with different environment against advance conditions and also it protects against dehydration.

Varied habitats.

Arthropods can be found in all types of habitats from the soil, water, and land. This feature is the key to their survival since they are widely distributed hence increasing chances of survival.

Bilateral Symmetry.

Arthropods exhibit bilateral symmetry whereby a different portion of their bodies are mirror images, this form is exhibited in higher animals such as humans and dogs, and it facilitates advanced body functioning.

Jointed Legs.

Arthropods exhibit segmented legs that are jointed to allow the development of hard exoskeleton for protection. The jointed legs are specialized for grasping, jumping and running.

Short generation time.

Arthropods exhibit short generation time, which allows for faster adaptation to the environment and survival.

Reproduction strategy.

Arthropods have exhibited a sexual form of reproduction that is more successful in the growth and survival of offspring.

Segmented body.

Arthropods have a segmented body that allows for specialization of body organs and tissues, and this has promoted their success by specializing body organs to different functions.
