4 0

Calcitonin is a hormone produced by the c cells of the Thyroid gland.

<u>Explanation:</u>

  • The c cells present in the thyroid are otherwise called Parafollicular cells. The primary function of c cells is to secrete Calcitonin (a protein hormone) which has a minor role in calcium regulation.
  • Calcitonin decreases the parathyroid hormone (PTH), by lowering blood calcium level by suppressing osteoclast activity of bones and increases of calcium Which is excreted along with the urine.
  • The C cells are found next to the Thyroid follicles and present in the connective tissue.

What happens to the carbon dioxide (CO2) levels of a plant when it does or does not have light?
zubka84 [21]

Explanation:

Carbon dioxide is needed for photosynthesis, but oxygen is needed for cellular respiration. Assuming there is still oxygen then the plants will produce carbon dioxide and some of it will be reabsorbed by photosynthesis during daylight. However, ultimately there wouldn’t be enough carbon dioxide for the plants to grow and they will start to die. Some plants have evolved a C4C4 photosynthesis pathway so they only require a small amount of CO2CO2 to survive, however they do still require more than zero CO2CO2.

So basically you killed off all the plants and all the other non-microbial life died of starvation shortly afterward.

Hope it helps...!! Please mark as brainliest
