GREYUIT [131]3 years ago
4 0

Thyroxine is an important hormone released into the bloodstream by the thyroid gland in the body. When tyroxine is released into the blood stream, it moves through certain organs such as the kidney and liver, where most of it is changed to an active form known as triiodothyronine. Thyroxine perform important roles in brain development, heart and digestive functions, bone maintenance, controlling muscle and metabolic rate of the body.

Plants participate in both short- and long-distance signaling. Explain how nerve cells show these two functions, as well. (3 poi
olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

Nerve cells release chemical signals into synapses between them (short distance). They also transverse their lengths with an electrical signal that can result in signal travel along a series of cells (long distance).

Explanation:

Nerve cells release neurotransmitters in the synaptic cleft which are capable of affecting nearby cells such as other nerve cells and muscle cells. Neurotransmitter molecules include, among others, serotonin, acetylcholine, dopamine, norepinephrine and histamine. Moreover, the synaptic cleft is the space that separates a neuron cell and its target cell. On the other hand, neurons transmit signals through electrical impulses. Electrical impulses travel long distances in the body carried by axons of the nerves. Thus, nerve impulses connect the brain and spinal cord and they carry signals to different parts of the body.

What do the following two equations represent?<br> 5x +y = 3<br> . 10x + 2y = -6
cupoosta [38]

Answer:

Choose distinct parallel lines.

Explanation:

They represent two parallel lines. The slopes are going to be the same in each line . Put the x value on the opposite side of the equal sign.

y = - 5x + 3           The slope is - 5

10x + 2y = - 6        Subtract 10x from both sides

2y = - 10x - 6         Divide by 2

y = -10x/2 - 6/2

y =-5x - 3

That minus three is the problem. You have 2 different y intercepts. That means that you have 2 parallel lines.

What’s the Answer to this
ad-work [718]

The disk diffusion test is used to compare the effectiveness of antibiotics. The incubated plate (results) will show bacteria growth except where antibiotic has effects. The more effective the drug, the inhibition zone will be greater. So the most effective antibiotic is the one that has the largest inhibition zone around the test site.

List the quantum numbers associated with all of the 5d orbitals
Whitepunk [10]

Answer:

Here's what I get  

Explanation:

If the orbital is 5d, n = 5 and l=2.

mₗ = -l, -l + 1, -l + 2,  …., l

(mₛ is a quantum number for electrons)

Thus, we can have the following combinations.

\begin{array}{ccr}\mathbf{n} & \mathbf{l} & \mathbf{m_{l}}\\5 & 2 & -2\\5 & 2 & -1\\5 & 2 & 0\\5 & 2 & 1\\5 & 2 & 2\\\end{array}

That makes a total of five 5d orbitals.

The pictures below show what two of them look like.
