Answer:

D

Explanation:

It is the endoplasmic reticulum and the ribosomes of the specialized cells in the pancreas that make insulin. Remember, most human cells make proteins at the protein factory called the ribosome. This ribosome is either free floating in the cytoplasm, or is attached to the endoplasmic reticulum.

The genes for making insulin lie in the DNA of these pancreatic cells. Normally, they should only be turned on inside these particular cells.

When they are turned on, RNA is transcribed and then protein.

That particular protein is insulin.

Remember insulin acts as a hormone.

By the way,the beta cells in the islets of Langerhans make insulin.

Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

A)100mL  B)50mL  C)The second option  D)Hypoosmotic Environment

Explanation:

The average Na concentration in the seas and oceans of the world is around 3,5% which mean that in 100 ml of sea water, there is around 3,5 grams of Na.

The weight of one mol of NaCl is 58,44 grams. For 3,5 grams of NaCl, we get 3,5/58,44 = 0,060 mol of NaCl which is 0,060x1000 = 60 mmol/100ml. According to this and the information given in the question about the secretion of the salt glands', if the average sodium concentration is 600mmol/L, we have 60*10 = 600mmol/L so it would take 100 mililiters of water to excrete.

If the average Na concentration of the salt gland's secretion were 300 mmol/L, only 50 mililiters of water would be needed to excrete the same sodium load.

The second option of secretion is hyperosmotic to seawater because the concentration is higher.

Osmoregulation is the process of balancing the amount of water and salt between the body of the organism and its surrounding environment. For salt glands to be advantageous for osmoregulation, they need to be in a hypoosmotic environment.

I hope this answer helps.

what is it called when in an ecosystem some plants may convert atmospheric nitrogen into ammonia through a process
kompoz [17]

These organisms convert nitrogen in the soil to ammonia, which can then be taken up by plants. This process also occurs in aquatic ecosystems, where cyanobacteria participate. After nitrogen has been fixed, other bacteria convert it into nitrate, in a process known as nitrification.
