How do the nervous system and endocrine system differ in regards to managing homeostasis?

Citrus2011 [14]3 years ago

Hello friend!!
The biggest difference between the two is that the nervous system uses electrical impulses to send signals through neurons, whereas the hormonal system uses chemical messengers transported into blood plasma to target cells. 
Transmission by the nervous system is short-lived but quick, whereas transmission by the hormonal system is long-lasting but takes much longer. Hene, communication is faster when using the nervous system. 
In the nervous system, responses are localised - whereas in the hormonal system, they are widespread. Responses are often permanent in the hormonal system, but temporary and reversible in the nervous system.
Hope It Helps!!All The Best!!

Two cells in the same organism differ only in the number of chloroplasts they contain. The first cell has multiple chloroplasts,
FromTheMoon [43]

Answer;

The second cell would not be able to produce as much food because it could not capture sunlight.


Explanation;

The first cell has multiple chloroplasts, and the second cell has very few which means the cell with more chloroplasts would make more food.

Chloroplast is an organelle is the cell where the process of photosynthesis (process in which plants make their own food) takes place.

A cell with multiple chloroplasts would make more food through photosynthesis compared to a cell with few chloroplasts.

If pyruvate-2-14C (pyruvate with the middle carbon atom radioactively labeled) is provided to actively respiring mitochondria, m
scZoUnD [109]

Answer:

The middle carbon atom of pyruvate in the TCA cycle becomes the carboxyl carbon of acetate and hence the newly added (upper) carboxyl group in citrate

Explanation:

Before entering the TCA cycle, pyruvate is converted into Acetyl-CoA by  oxidative decarboxylation of pyruvate. 1st two carbons of glucose to be fully oxidized. This reaction is catalyzed by Pyruvate dehydrogenase.

The middle carbon atom of the pyruvate in the TCA cycle becomes the carboxyl carbon of the acetate as the carboxyl group is removed from the pyruvate , releasing CO2. NAD is reduced to NADH. Acetyl group is transferred to coenzyme-A , resulting in acetyl coA

Que semejanzas y diferencias tiene el microscopio y el de Robert hooke
Sphinxa [80]

Answer:

- Microscopio de Robert Hooke: Aumento de 30X; monocular; con soporte rudimentario; enfoque de objetos transparentes y opacos

- Microscopio óptico actual: más sofisticado, binocular; compuesto por tres sistemas: sistema mecánico, sistema óptico (hasta 1.500 aumentos 1500 X), y sistema de iluminación.

Explanation:

El microscopio óptico fue el primer microscopio y marcó una nueva era en la biología y la medicina, siendo fundamental para la observación de estructuras celulares y subcelulares, lo cual permitió el desarrollo de diversas teorías tales como, por ejemplo, la teoría celular. La característica más importante compartida por los microscopios ópticos es el uso de la luz visible para visualizar las muestras. Los microscopios ópticos rudimentarios fueron popularizados en el siglo XVII, a partir del uso de Galileo Galilei. Posteriormente, en 1665, el científico inglés Robert Hooke usó su microscopio mejorado para observar muestras biológicas. El microscopio de Hooke era monocular y aumentaba la imagen 30 veces (30X), tenía un mejor soporte que los microscopios anteriores más rudimentarios, y podía enfocar tanto objetos transparentes como opacos. Actualmente, los microscopios ópticos están compuestos por tres sistemas: 1-sistema mecánico compuesto por piezas (es decir, una base, platina y brazo) donde están insertadas las lentes, un 2-sistema óptico compuesto por diferentes lentes conocidas como lentes oculares (microscopios binoculares) y lentes objetivos, las cuales permiten el aumento de las imágenes hasta 1.500 (1500X, con uso de aceite de inmersión), y 3-un sistema de iluminación para reflejar, transmitir y regular la intensidad de la luz.
