The procedure of dialysis maintains the body in balance by withdrawing waste, extra water, and salt by preventing them from accumulating up in the body when the kidneys fail. It helps in maintaining a safe level of some kinds of chemicals in the blood, like sodium, potassium, and bicarbonate. It helps in monitoring blood pressure.  

Hence, dialysis helps in performing a function for the circulatory system of the body.

Answer:

They can perform photosynthesis.

Explanation:

Autotrophs are organisms that can produce their own food, and heterotrophs are organisms that feed on other organisms. This means that the ameba and paramecium can eat only other microorganisms.

The euglena is not limited to this. Hypothetically speaking, if there were no other microorganisms around it (which is unlikely), the euglena would not die as long as it is exposed to sunlight. Thanks to chloroplasts, organelles that contain chlorophyll, it can perform photosynthesis - a process in which, with the help of sunlight, carbon dioxide, minerals, and water are used to synthesize food.

Nitric oxide is a paracrine signal molecule because NO
hichkok12 [17]

Answer:

C. is unstable, with a short half life

Explanation:

Paracrine hormones are the hormones that act on neighboring cells only. These hormones or chemicals are largely unstable and have a brief life as do not visit the distantly placed target cells. For instance, somatostatin is secreted by D cells of the pancreas. It acts in a paracrine manner and inhibits the discharge of hormones from the neighboring beta and alpha cell.

Likewise, one of the functions of unstable NO gas is to serve as a vasodilator. It is released by epithelium cells and serves to dilate arterioles and relax precapillary sphincters. Then it is degraded.
