Glucagon

This is a hormone that deals with blood sugar homeostasis. When blood sugar levels are low, glucagon is produced to convert the fats in the reserve back to glucose until normal levels are achieved.

Explanation:

Bone remodeling involves coordinations of osteoclasts and osteoblasts cells in the bone. The former breaks down bone tissue while the latter mineralizes bones. Calcium is the main ion in the body significant in mineralization of bone. Excess Ca2+ is stored in bone while low calcium levels in blood result in bone resorption.  

Stress on a bone also causes increased mineralization to strengthen the bone against this stress. This is why astronauts when they go to space, due to less stress from low gravity, bone loses its mass. When they return back to earth, the bone readjusts to the increased stress from higher gravity by increased mineralization.

The hormone responsible for bone homeostasis is parathyroid hormone.

<span>Basically both operate by bouncing tiny particles or waves off of objects in order to make them visible. Electrons are smaller than light photons so we can see smaller objects clearly with electron microscopes. There are disadvantages though. First, color is a function of light wave frequency so we can't see electron micrographs in color. Color can be added artificially though by computer to differentiate structures, (think photoshop). Also, we cannot see electrons so we make them visible by bouncing them off a cathode ray screen similar to a TV set or computer monitor</span>

Nitrification is a three-step process of oxidation of ammonia. It is an aerobic process performed by small groups of autotrophic bacteria (<span>Nitrosomonas, Nitrobacter</span>).
First step- ammonia to hydroxylamine,
Second step-hydroxylamine to nitrite,
Third step-nitrite to nitrate.
Nitrification together with ammonification is part of a nitrogen cycle.
