Parathyroid hormone is the major regulator of the plasma concentration of__________ ions
photoshop1234 [79]

Answer:

Calcium

Explanation:

Parathyroid hormone (PTH) is a hormone that is secreted by the parathyroid gland. It is the major regulator of the plasma concentration of calcium ions. It regulates calcium ions in the kidney, intestine and bones.

In the kidney, is involved in the re-absorption of calcium in distal ducts and the renal collecting duct, it is also involved in activating the conversion of 25-hydroxy vitamin D into 1,25-dihydroxy vitamin D (calcitriol).

In the intestine,  PTH is involved in the absorption of calcium, by increasing vitamin D production.

In the bone, it helps in regulating calcium levels; when serum calcium level is low, PTH stimulates the activity of the osteoclast, to produce more calcium.

What happened to Yellowstone National Park when wolves disappeared?
VashaNatasha [74]

Answer:

B. The deer population increased

Explanation:

Wolves would primarily hunt the deer, therefore if there were no wolves around then the deer were able to reproduce without the threat of wolves eating them.

Wolves wouldn't hunt bears because it is increasingly harder for them to kill bears than deer.

The wolves wouldn't really influence the environment because they are mainly carnivores.
