Question: Which pituitary hormone causes liver cells to release somatomedins that increase the rate of uptake of amino acids by cells such as skeletal muscle fibers?

follicle-stimulating hormone

prolactin

thyroid-stimulating hormone

growth hormone

Answer:

growth hormone

Explanation:

Somatomedins are growth factors. The growth hormone makes the cells such as liver cells, skeletal muscles, bones, etc. to secrete the somatomedins. The somatomedins from the liver enter the bloodstream to reach the target cells. The somatomedins make the skeletal muscles, bones, etc. to absorb amino acids into the cells so as to facilitate protein synthesis. This growth factor also downregulates the breakdown of proteins. This is how growth hormone triggers the growth of muscles and soft tissues.

tatuchka [14]

A dependant variable is a variable in an experiment that is being studied or measured. A dependent variable's value depends on another.

Keeping this in mind, the dependent variable would be plant growth over time. The plant's growth is affected by its light source, the amount of time it's in the light/darkness, and the species of plant.

Hope this helps!

Does speciation occur in specific characteristic and predictable manner in all species?
BARSIC [14]

<u>Answer</u>:

No, speciation doesn’t occur in specific characteristics and predictable manner.

<u>Explanation</u>:

Speciation means creation of a new kind of plant or animal. When a particular species separates from its members of species and develops its own characteristics, speciation occurs.

There are different types of Speciation. In allopatric speciation, species separate due to geographical conditions like waterways or mountain range and evolve into separate species. Whereas in Sympatric speciation, species evolve into separate ones without any change in geographical conditions. Other types of speciation are artificial, peripatric and parapatric type of speciation.  So, these changes are neither specific nor predictable.

How is the characteristic of organization in a unicellular organism different from organization in a multicellular organism?
timofeeve [1]

Answer:

1. Unicellular life forms have one cell, while multi cell living beings are made out of a wide range of sorts of cells.  

2. Unicellular life forms are for the most part prokaryotic, while multi cell creatures are commonly named eukaryotes.  

3. Unicellular creatures are typically littler (regularly constantly minuscule in nature) and less mind boggling contrasted with their increasingly unmistakable and complex multi cell partners.
