Answer: urea disposal
Explanation:
<u>The liver, which is the largest organ in the human body, performs three vital functions of the organism: detoxification, synthesis and storage. </u>
The liver acts as an authentic filter that collects and eliminates numerous toxins, such as ammonia, or toxins that we ingest, such as alcohol (it performs a biotransformation of toxins). Our liver is also responsible for the metabolism of carbohydrates, lipids and proteins, secreting bile, an essential element for the digestion. It also prevents bleeding through a coagulation process. And it is a container of vitamins (A, D, E, K) and glycogen (carbohydrates), while energy is stored in the form of sugar, made available to our organization.
The urea cycle takes place primarily in the liver. Organisms convert ammonia to a less toxic substance, such as urea, via the urea cycle. <u>Then it is released into the bloodstream where it travels to the kidneys and is ultimately excreted in urine. </u>
So, the liver is involved in the production of urea, but the kidney is responsible of its disposal.
Answer: True.
Explanation:
Nitric oxide(N,O) is a signaling molecule produced by NO synthase which is a transmitter in the nervous system. In the central nervous system NO is generated by the activation of glutamate receptor. When it is produced, it diffuses out of the cells and act on neighbouring cells.

Explanation:
The Earth and the Moon are two space bodies that have each other as the closest to one another. Both of them have their own gravitational pull, with the one of the Earth being much greater, while the one of the Moon being weaker than it is expected for a body of its size. Nevertheless they influence each other with the gravitational pull, which is most noticeable on Earth.
The gravitational pull between these two space bodies is the greatest when they are the closest to each other, while it is the smallest when they are the furthest from each other. On January 10 the distance between Earth and the Moon is the smallest and it is 360,048 km, so the gravitational pull is the greatest on this date. On December 19 the distance between Earth and the Moon is the greatest and it is 406,276 km, so the gravitational pull is the smallest.
The correct answer is: b. It is free to bind to another promoter and begin transcription
Transcription is the first step of gene expression in which DNA molecule is copied (transcribed) into RNA (mRNA) by RNA polymerase. The process of transcription is divided into three phases:
1. Initiation
• RNA polymerase with transcriptional factors bind to gene promoter
• RNA polymerase unwinds DNA double helix (transcription bubble is formed)
2. Elongation
• RNA polymerases adds nucleotides complementary to DNA
3. Termination
• RNA polymerase gets to stop codon (transcribes a sequence of DNA known as a terminator)
• Formed complementary RNA strand is released from DNA-RNA complex.
RNA polymerase is also released and can transcribe some other gene by binding to its promotor. RNA polymerase will transcribe just the genes whose products are needed at a particular moment.
