Question: Which pituitary hormone causes liver cells to release somatomedins that increase the rate of uptake of amino acids by cells such as skeletal muscle fibers?
follicle-stimulating hormone
prolactin
thyroid-stimulating hormone
growth hormone
Answer:
growth hormone
Explanation:
Somatomedins are growth factors. The growth hormone makes the cells such as liver cells, skeletal muscles, bones, etc. to secrete the somatomedins. The somatomedins from the liver enter the bloodstream to reach the target cells. The somatomedins make the skeletal muscles, bones, etc. to absorb amino acids into the cells so as to facilitate protein synthesis. This growth factor also downregulates the breakdown of proteins. This is how growth hormone triggers the growth of muscles and soft tissues.
Correct answer: Glycogen
Glycogen is a form of polysaccharide of glucose molecule which serve as energy storage unit in the humans. The excess glucose in the body is stored in the form of glycogen in the muscles and the liver.
The muscles can store upto 500 gram of glycogen and liver can store 100 gram of glucose. Therefore, any carbohydrate which is consumed beyond this limit are converted to and stored as fat.
Glycogen that are stored in muscle are broken down into glucose while the liver cell glycogen are broken down into glucose as a circulating energy source to be used by the body.
Answer:
The correct answer is-
Hypothesis: Antibiotics cause weight gain in cows.
Independent Variable: Antibiotic pill
Dependent Variable: Weight of cow
Control Group: a group of cows gets a placebo pill
Experimental Group: a group of cows gets an antibiotic pill
Explanation:
The Independent variable is the variable that causes the response from the dependent variable or affects the dependent variable in this study the antibiotic pill affects the weight of cows so The independent variable is an antibiotic pill and the dependent variable is the weight of cows.
The control group is the group of subjects that did not get the treatment in a scientific study in the case of this study group of cows that receives the placebo pill is the control group and the experiment group is subjects that receive the treatment which is a group with the antibiotic pill.
