Each of the following complications listed below is a result of a homeostatic calcium imbalance. Which would not be life threate
ning? Multiple Choice 1) Inability to maintain the resting membrane potential 2) Declining neuronal communication 3) A deficit of appositional bone growth 4) Decreased blood clotting ability
The correct option is number 3. A deficit of appositional bone growth would not be life threatening.
Explanation:
Appositional bone growth can be defined as the thickening of the bones due to increase in the number of bone tissues at the surface. In this kind of bone growth, the diameter of the bone increases rather than the length of the bone. This can lead to deformation of the bone but it is not life-threatening.
Rest of the options 1, 2 and 3 are serious disorders and can eventually lead to death.
There would be dead animals overloading the Earth. Think about it, without worms and other things that break down dead things they would still be here and just sit there.
