Answer:

B. parathyroid hormone

Explanation:

  • The parathyroid hormone is secreted by the parathyroid gland and it is responsible for regulating the calcium levels in the serum.
  • Parathyroid hormone is able to exert its effect on the kidney, intestine and the bone and by exerting its effect on these organs it is able to regulate the calcium levels.
  • This hormone is secreted when the levels of calcium in the serum are low and this hormone is able to exert its effect by acting on the bones and stimulating the osteoclasts activity which causes the release of calcium from the bones and thus, the serum levels of calcium are elevated again.
  • If the levels of the parathyroid hormone would increase the reabsorption of calcium from the bone would be more and hence, it would lead to osteoporosis. Thus, it can be concluded that Sam's cancer cells are producing parathyroid hormone.

The seven-spotted cockroach is a nocturnal species that burrows under leaf litter during the day.
djyliett [7]

Answer: C. is less likely to be eaten by a predator.

Explanation:

The adult seven-spotted cockroach is the prey of various other insects including beetles so mimicking the pattern of a beetle would send a message that it is a beetle and because the chemical irritant that the beetle has makes it get avoided by others, the cockroach gets avoided by other insects too who don't want to be sprayed.

Of course this does not always work but it works for the most part and ensures the cockroach's survival.
