Bony fish belong to Class Osteichthyes, while cartilaginous fish belong to Class Chondrichthyes. Bony fish have a bony skeleton, while cartilaginous fish have one composed mostly of cartilage. Bony fish have body coverings of scales, while cartilaginous fish are covered with dendritical projections (think shark skin).
Bony fish are found in fresh and salt water; cartilaginous fish are found only in salt water. Bony fish have gills covered by an operculum; cartilaginous fish have gill slits. Bony have no eyelids; the cartilaginous fish do. Bony fish have an air-filled swim bladder; cartilaginous fish have an oil-filled liver to keep them bouyant. Hope this helps! Whew!

Reptile [31]

Answer:

The correct answer is - option A. They serve as second messengers to regulate glucose uptake to cells.

Insulin is the hormone that removes the excess amount of glucose from the blood by the adipose tissue, liver cells, and skeletal muscle that uptake an extra amount of sugar. there are receptors present on the surface of the plasma membrane which binds with the insulin and acts as a secondary to regulate a cascade reaction to glucose uptake to cells.
