Answer:
D) all are correct statements.
Answer:
When the calcium level is high in the bloodstream, the thyroid gland releases calcitonin. Calcitonin slows down the activity of the osteoclasts found in bone. This decreases blood calcium levels. When calcium levels decrease, this stimulates the parathyroid gland to release parathyroid hormone.
I'd say it is phosphorus or phosphate. The easiest way to identify the answer is trough these frases:
Plants absorb this nutrient from the soil and turn it into organic compounds through assimilation.
Plants take up the usable nutrient through the soil and assimilate it into proteins, making it part of the plant.
During assimilation, plants provide phofphorous (and other nutrients) to the cells and tissues - plants absorb this nutrient from the soil and turn it into organic compounds through assimilation.
Plants also used phosphorus in processes such as transpiration and photosynthesis wich contributes to the fact that plants take up the usable nutrient through the soil and assimilate it into proteins, making it part of the plant.
Hope it helped,
Happy homework/ study/ exam!
