Answer:
Hormones are controlled by a
(negative)
feedback system between the glands that produce this hormone and the concentration of blood calcium ions. If the level of ions is
(low)
,hormone secretion is increased. This causes resorption by cells called
which releases both calcium and phosphate ions into the blood stream.
Explanation:
Negative Feedback a the process in your body that helps to maintain Homeostasis. If some variable changes a value in your body, like your ion levels, your glands produce a hormone that causes resorption by cells. This releases both calcium and phosphate ions into the blood stream and therefore your ion levels go back to normal.
Hope this helps!
<h2>Scurvy </h2>
Explanation:
(a) Collagen is the major structural component of cartilage,bones and tendons
- The basic unit of collagen is tropocollagen and each tropocollagen consists of three coiled left handed polypeptide chains called α chains
- Generally each α chain consists of a repeating tripeptide sequence called: G-X-Y
- Here G represents glycine; X represents proline and Y represents hydroxyproline
- Rigidity of collagen molecule is due to presence of proline and hydroxyproline
- Hydroxylation of proline is catalysed by prolyl hydroxylase enzyme which use ascorbate,α ketoglutarate and oxygen
- α ketoglutarate is oxidatively decarboxylated to form carbon dioxide and succinate
- Sequence of events leading from a dietary vitamin C deficiency to symptoms such as bruising and breakdown of supporting tissues includes: tissue levels of ascorbic acid is low; enzyme prolyl hydroxylase is inactive; proline is not hydroxylated; the triple helix is inadequately stabilized; collagen breaks down; defects in tissues that depend on collagen
; tissues that depend on collagen are subject to breakdown and bruising
(b) Sailors are no longer susceptible to scurvy because fresh fruits which are the source of vitamin C source are available now
British sailors called "limeys" to this day,this term reflects the British navy's use of limes
Answer: Incorrect question. I provided a lesson about population.
Explanation:
What is a population Why is it important?
Why Population is Important
Any truly meaningful conservation and sustainability efforts must take the expanding human population footprint into consideration. Globally, over 228,000 people are added every day — each needs sufficient land, water, shelter, food, and energy for a decent life.
They are living organisms. Not a very good question is there more to it
Lignin
It is a complex organic polymer that form an important structural materials in the support system of vascular plants and can also be found in some algae. This is an important molecule in the structural composition of cell wall, such as in wood and bark. This also allow woods and barks to have strong, rigid which allows them to no break easily. Lignin can also be found inserted in the cell wall of this plants.
