Biology
1 answer:
Vinil7 [7]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

The statement is false.

Explanation:

Epinephrine (also known as adrenaline) is a hormone and a neurotransmitter produced by the adrenal glands, it helps to regulate cellular energy metabolism and increases the heart rate.

Epinephrine adheres to certain receptors that are exposed on the surface of a large number of body cells. This receptor, called beta-adrenergic, is a receptor that is embedded in the plasma membranes of these cells. Adrenaline does not penetrate the cell, instead, joining for a short period of time to its receptor, induces it to release biochemical signals to the cytoplasm of cells. This steric change, affects the configuration of the cytoplasmic domain of the protein, this is the "link" of the receptor that protrudes in the cytoplasm.

What contributes to waste management by recycling metabolic products and converting toxic substances into less toxic ones
kompoz [17]

The kidneys contribute to waste management by recycling metabolic products and converting toxic substances into less toxic ones.

Kidneys are an important organ of animals as they provide a channel for the disposal of body waste and simultaneously regulate the balance in the level of salt and water in the body.

Kidneys work as microfilters that are capable of eliminating dissolved and suspended forms of ammonia, uric acid, urea, creatine, creatinine, amino acids, excess salts, and water along with proper disposal of organic waste which altogether constitutes the metabolic waste of the body. These substances before being finally excreted from the boy undergo a last round of reabsorption.
